Agriculture: Grains, Vegetables & ​Livestock Farming

​We are excited to announce that we are soon about to launch our Agriculture Division. This new initiative aims to enhance domestic food production and support Japan's agricultural sector by integrating traditional farming methods with modern technologies and sustainable practices.

Grains & Vegetables

J​apan’s agricultural sector faces significant challenges, including an aging farming population and limited arable land. These factors contribute to the country’s dependence on imported food, with a self-sufficiency rate of only 37% on a calorie basis as of 2020​ [Source: MAFF]. To mitigate this, WebHawks IT is investing in modern agricultural techniques and collaborating with local farmers to boost the production of essential grains and vegetables. By leveraging advanced farming technologies and sustainable practices, we aim to increase domestic output and reduce dependency on imports.

To enhance domestic production, we utilize a combination of traditional open field methods, house-based cultivation techniques, and modern technologies such as hydroponics and AI-driven farming. This multi-faceted approach allows us to maximize yield and efficiency while maintaining high standards of quality and sustainability.

Livestock Farming

J​apan's livestock farming sector faces significant challenges due to an aging population, leading to a shrinking number of farmers. This reduction in livestock farmers necessitates innovative solutions to meet the growing demand for meat, especially among the increasing number of foreigners in Japan.

Foreign residents tend to consume more meat than the native Japanese population and have different eating habits. They prefer mutton, goat, lamb, duck, turkey, pigeon, free-range chicken, in addition to beef and broiler chicken. This shift in dietary preferences requires a diverse and well-managed livestock farming strategy. WebHawks IT is planning to open its livestock farm soon to address the increasing demand for diverse meats in Japan. All livestock at WebHawks IT are fed, grown, slaughtered, processed, packaged, stored, and delivered following strict Halal processes and methods.

Our Livestock Farming Concept
