Tokushima Prefecture Approves Agricultural Land Use Consolidation and Promotion Plan
Tokushima City, Japan – August 17, 2025 – Tokushima Prefecture is pleased to announce the official approval of its Agricultural Land Use Consolidation and Promotion Plan, a significant step towards enhancing the productivity and sustainability of the region’s vital agricultural sector. The announcement was made today by prefectural officials, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing efforts to revitalize rural communities and ensure the stable supply of high-quality agricultural products.
This comprehensive plan, meticulously developed over an extended period with input from farmers, agricultural cooperatives, and local stakeholders, aims to address key challenges facing contemporary agriculture in Tokushima. Central to the plan is the strategic consolidation of fragmented agricultural land. By facilitating the reallocation and aggregation of land parcels, the prefecture seeks to create larger, more efficiently managed farm units. This consolidation is expected to promote the adoption of advanced farming techniques, mechanization, and economies of scale, thereby improving overall agricultural efficiency and profitability for farmers.
Furthermore, the plan emphasizes the promotion of diverse and sustainable agricultural practices. It outlines strategies to encourage the cultivation of high-value crops, the adoption of environmentally friendly farming methods, and the development of new agricultural ventures. A strong focus is placed on supporting young farmers and successors, ensuring the continuity of agricultural knowledge and practices for future generations. The plan also includes measures to strengthen the agricultural infrastructure, including irrigation systems and rural roads, and to foster innovation in agricultural technology and marketing.
“The approval of this Agricultural Land Use Consolidation and Promotion Plan represents a significant milestone for Tokushima’s agriculture,” stated a spokesperson for the Prefectural Government. “We are committed to creating an environment where our farmers can thrive, produce abundant and safe food, and contribute to the vitality of our rural landscapes. This plan is a testament to our dedication to modernizing our agricultural sector while preserving its rich heritage and environmental benefits.”
The implementation of this plan is anticipated to have a transformative impact on Tokushima’s agricultural landscape, leading to increased productivity, improved farm incomes, and enhanced competitiveness in both domestic and international markets. The prefecture is confident that this initiative will not only strengthen its agricultural foundation but also contribute to the overall economic and social well-being of its communities. Tokushima Prefecture looks forward to working collaboratively with all stakeholders to ensure the successful realization of this ambitious and forward-thinking plan.
