(英)Africa is a frontier with high potential due to population growth, but the current situation of Japanese companies entering the region leaves much room for further market development. Considering the medium- to long-term strategy and the level of growth of each country and region in the development of emerging markets by Japanese companies, it is necessary to look at African countries as the next emerging market after the major ASEAN countries, where Japanese companies have already made considerable inroads, and to establish a foothold for market development. In addition, in order to expand market entry into Africa, it is important to accurately grasp local needs and create an environment for business development through the resolution of social issues. To this end, the JSF supports the creation of businesses that address sustainable growth in Africa by solving social issues through innovative means such as digital technology, while utilizing methods such as collaboration among Japanese companies, African companies, and third-country companies, thereby expanding the base of Japanese companies that take on challenges in Africa and promoting Japan-Africa private partnerships. By supporting the creation of businesses that address sustainable growth in Africa through the resolution of social issues using innovative means such as digital technology.

- サグリ創業のきっかけであるアフリカ/Africa is the key for founding Sagri
(英)Our CEO, Shunsuke Tsuboi, went to Rwanda in 2016 to conduct educational activities for a month, and learned that local children have their own dreams, but after graduation, they work in the agricultural field to support their families. In order to break out of this situation, we believe that by using satellite data, we will be able to visualize the situation that is happening on each piece of farmland around the world and provide the best guidance for each situation, which will lead to higher yields for local farmers and higher income through the realization of higher value-added crops, thereby improving the farm households' We founded Sagri with the belief that the family environment would also improve. We have been commercializing this project with the aim of improving the income of low-income farmers in order to create an environment where the children of the next generation of farming households can challenge their own dreams without being forced to engage in farming in the future. Through this project, we will start our business in Africa.
- サグリがアフリカにおいて目指す姿/Sagri Goal in Africa
【アフリカ農家で想定される課題】
①適切な栽培指導を得られる環境が整っていない。
②農業資材や農機を利活用するための資金調達手段が確保できない。
③マーケットや仲卸業者による農作物の買取額が低く、安定的ではない。
以下の手法を通じて、課題の解決を図ります。
【解決方法】
衛星データには、無償で提供されているものが存在しています。サグリは、無償の衛星データを取得し、解析を実施し、営農情報をタブレット・スマホ等のアプリケーションで配信することで、農家一人ひとりの圃場に対して活用可能な状況を実現します。特に衛星データによる農地自動区画化及び土壌簡易分析は当社のコア技術として検証を行います。アフリカ農家の収入増加を実現するため、以下の3点の項目においてF/S調査致します。
①衛星データから得られる情報より農家の信用情報を形成、マイクロファイナンスの促進。
②農地データを可視化し、データ駆動型農業の導入による単位面積あたりの安定かつ高収益化。
③適切な栽培指導を軸に、肥料削減などを実施。農地を軸にしたカーボンオフセットによる脱炭素化の普及。
(英)We recognize that most farmers in rural Africa are unable to escape from their low income situation due to the following factors.
Issues for African farmers
(1) Lack of environment to obtain appropriate cultivation guidance.
(2) Inability to secure financing for agricultural materials and machinery.
(3) The purchase price of agricultural products by markets and wholesalers is low and unstable.
Therefore, the following methods will be used to resolve the issues.
Solution Methods
Satellite data is available free of charge. Sagri acquires free satellite data, analyzes it, and distributes it via tablet and smartphone and other applications, making it available to each farmer's field. This will realize the following three points and increase the income of African farmers.
(1) Formation of credit information of farmers based on information obtained from satellite data, and microfinance means through the application.
(2) Visualization of farmland data will show the maximum use value of farmland, and in addition, the introduction of smart agriculture will create added value and realize stable and high income per unit area.
(3) Improvement of farming operations centered on appropriate cultivation guidance is realized. Extra income through carbon offsets centered on farmland will also be made possible.
