Anjo City, Aichi Prefecture: Crop Rotation Cluster Development Promotion Project

A regional agricultural promotion initiative by Anjo City that supports groups of farmers collectively converting paddy fields to vegetable, wheat, and soybean cultivation through organized conversion districts. Eligible applicants include farmers, agricultural corporations, and agricultural cooperatives operating within Anjo City. Subsidies are provided for conversion district development and introduction of farming machinery, with specific amounts and subsidy rates determined based on submitted business plans. Collective conversion implementation by multiple farmers is a prerequisite, and approval from the Anjo City Agricultural Committee is mandatory. The initiative strengthens local agricultural competitiveness and prevents idle farmland, with early submission of detailed business plans being key to successful adoption.
