For the Stable Supply of Agricultural Products

The world’s population is currently about 8.1 billion and is projected to reach approximately 9.7 billion by 2050. Meanwhile, arable land is limited, and the area of farmland has remained almost unchanged since the 1990s. To prevent deforestation, improving productivity on limited farmland is essential, and the use of technologies such as agrochemicals is indispensable. Our company is committed to delivering products that are safer and more environmentally friendly to the market. We develop agrochemical products that consider environmental impact by reducing effects on non-target organisms and minimizing residue levels. Among our products, those with relatively high safety for the environment and humans/animals are designated as “Environmentally Harmonized Products,” and we are working to expand their adoption.

To Address the Decline in Agricultural Workers and the Shortage of Successors

The number of farmers in Japan has been decreasing due to aging and a lack of successors, dropping to 1.36 million in 2020—a reduction of about 50% compared to 2005. Meanwhile, the cultivated area per farming entity has increased from 1.9 hectares in 2005 to 3.1 hectares in 2020, about 1.5 times larger. Smart agriculture uses AI and IoT technologies to improve work efficiency and productivity. This is expected to encourage young people to enter the industry and enhance the sustainability of agriculture. Our company provides farming support solutions, such as the “Reimi AI Pest, Disease, and Weed Diagnosis” app, promoting the digitalization and dissemination of knowledge on pest and weed control. We are also expanding the app’s overseas version to contribute to global smart agriculture. In addition, we actively develop agrochemicals for drone spraying, which is becoming more widespread, to reduce labor and ease the burden of farm work.

• Smart Agriculture

For the Safe and Reliable Distribution of Food

Food safety is a global concern, and ensuring that agricultural products are free from harmful residues is essential for consumer health and trust. Our company develops agrochemical products that comply with strict safety standards and residue limits set by international regulations. We also provide solutions to help farmers use agrochemicals properly and efficiently, reducing risks and ensuring that crops meet food safety requirements. In addition, we actively promote technologies and practices that minimize environmental impact while maintaining crop protection, contributing to a sustainable and secure food supply chain.

For a Healthy Lifestyle

Health is one of the most important aspects of daily life. Our company contributes to improving quality of life by developing products and technologies that support human health and well-being. This includes creating solutions that help prevent diseases, maintain hygiene, and promote safe living environments. Through continuous innovation, we aim to provide products that are both effective and environmentally friendly, ensuring safety for people and society.

To Address Global Warming

Global warming is accelerating worldwide, causing extreme weather events and impacting ecosystems and agriculture. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable practices are essential to mitigate these effects. Our company contributes by developing technologies and products that help lower environmental impact, such as agrochemicals that reduce CO₂ emissions during production and application, and solutions that support efficient resource use. We also promote initiatives for carbon neutrality and actively engage in research and development to create environmentally friendly products, aiming to achieve a sustainable future for both people and the planet.

In recent years, climate change has caused significant impacts on agricultural crops, including abnormal weather patterns, rising temperatures, and increased frequency of extreme events. These changes lead to reduced yields, quality deterioration, and greater risks of pests and diseases. To address these challenges, it is essential to develop technologies and products that help crops adapt to changing environments and maintain stable production. Our company is working on solutions such as heat- and drought-tolerant crop protection products, as well as technologies that reduce environmental stress, contributing to sustainable agriculture under global warming conditions.

For the Conservation of Biodiversity

Biodiversity is essential for maintaining ecosystems and supporting sustainable agriculture. However, factors such as habitat loss, climate change, and excessive use of resources are threatening species diversity worldwide. Our company is committed to developing products and technologies that minimize environmental impact, protect non-target organisms, and contribute to the preservation of biodiversity. We also promote initiatives that support ecological balance, such as environmentally harmonized agrochemicals and integrated pest management practices, aiming to coexist with nature while ensuring agricultural productivity.
