NTT East, Saishunkan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and Technoble Co., Ltd. will begin a pilot project in June 2026 to establish a smart cultivation model for ginseng (Otane-ninjin) by integrating aquaponics technology with ICT. Ginseng typically takes several years to harvest and is prone to replant failure. In this project, the companies have established 'Aquaponics Lab' within NTT East's 'NTTe-City Labo' to collect and analyze environmental data to achieve stable supply. NTT East is responsible for environmental design, Saishunkan Pharmaceutical for exploring new applications, and Technoble for component analysis, aiming to implement a sustainable agricultural model.
