Theme] Knowing the Deep Issue
The Philippines has made remarkable progress in recent years, but in the areas of agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, there are still many processes that rely on human labor, and the introduction of technology has not progressed. On the other hand, there are many opportunities to utilize Japanese technology to solve social issues in the Philippines. In this tour, we will visit the field of agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, local venture companies that are promoting the introduction of technology to the field, and government officials.
