Japanese agricultural areas are facing a critical labor shortage. For this, as a new framework for accepting foreigners who can begin work immediately in Japanese agricultural areas, the Specified Skilled Worker status of residence has been newly established.
Along with the Technical Intern Training Program, expectations are high for this mechanism to support and develop Japanese agriculture.
In order for foreigners to work in agricultural workplaces through this project, they need to meet the requirements specified by the Japanese government, such as knowledge and skills concerning agriculture.
