AGTS Agriculture Exhibition in Aichi to be Held in June, Featuring MAFF's 'Agriculture Girls Project'

The AGTS Agriculture Exhibition Executive Committee (located in Minato-ku, Tokyo, operated by Innovent Inc.) announced that it will hold the 'AGTS Agriculture Exhibition in Aichi' for three days from Tuesday, June 23 to Thursday, June 25, 2026, at Exhibition Hall A of Aichi Sky Expo (Aichi International Exhibition Center).

This exhibition will feature special feature areas. The event will implement various programs, including the 'Wildlife Damage Countermeasures & Support Zone,' where attendees can compare products and services designed to protect crops from increasingly severe wildlife damage. It will also host the 'Agriculture Girls Project Booth,' promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) to support the active participation of female farmers. Additionally, the 'Academic Area' will introduce agriculture-related schools in the Tokai region and hold sales of agricultural products grown by students who will lead the future of agriculture. A marché (market) where local specialties and processed goods can be directly purchased will also be available.

## Future Agriculture Garden

Cooperation: Japan Dome House Co., Ltd.

To allow visitors to see and consider the adoption of technologies, products, and services from the Tokai region, which is nationally recognized for its thriving greenhouse horticulture, an actual greenhouse will be built inside the exhibition hall as a special exhibition project for agricultural workers involved in greenhouse horticulture.

## Indoor Demonstration Area

Demonstrations of brush cutters, automated robots, and other equipment by exhibiting companies will be held in designated spaces within the exhibition hall.

## Academic Area

This area will introduce agriculture-related schools in the Tokai region and conduct sales of agricultural products grown by students.
The event will also encourage the attendance of students who will be responsible for the future of agriculture.

Nagoya University (Tokai National Higher Education and Research System) / Aichi Prefectural Anjo Norin High School / Aichi Prefectural Handa Agricultural High School / Toyohashi University of Technology / Aichi Prefectural Agricultural College / Mie University / Tokai Bio Community / Shizuoka Professional University of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences

## Wildlife Damage Countermeasures & Support Zone

Crop damage caused by wildlife has become a serious issue leading to 'crop loss,' 'decreased motivation to work among farmers,' 'abandonment of farming,' and even the 'collapse of local communities.'
This zone will introduce products and services for wildlife damage countermeasures addressing these challenges.

## Agriculture Girls Project Booth

Cooperation: Tokai Regional Agricultural Administration Office, Aichi Sky Expo Revitalization Promotion Organization

The 'Agriculture Girls Project,' promoted by MAFF, is an initiative that connects the wisdom of female farmers with companies to develop new products and promote them to society. The booth will exhibit products developed through the project and host a marché run by female farmers.

## Outdoor Exhibition & Demonstration Area

Outside the exhibition hall, the event will feature test rides of tractors, demonstrations of automated steering, and exhibitions/demonstrations of mowing robots and incinerators.
