Japan Micro Irrigation Market Research Report, 2027

The Israeli engineer Simcha Blass developed one of the modern methods of irrigation that was developed by the Israeli engineer Simcha Blass. Simcha Blass was a Polish-Israeli engineer and creator who developed the modern drip irrigation system with his son Yeshayahu. The experimental system of micro irrigation was developed in the year 1959, which was then supported in 1964 by Kibbutz Hatzerim to establish the new irrigation company named Netafim. Cooperatively, they developed and patented surface drip irrigation. In the mid-20th century, Nebraska farmer Frank Zybach invented centre-pivot irrigation and transformed agricultural production worldwide. Drip irrigation refers to the method of crop irrigation that involves the controlled delivery of water to plants through a system of pipes, valves, tubing, and emitters. The water in drip irrigation is supplied through a source directly to the root zone of individual plants or to the surface of the soil. On the other hand the sprinkler system stands for a method of applying water in an administered manner that is similar to rainfall. A sprinkler system is also known as a device used to irrigate (water) agricultural crops, lawns, landscapes, golf courses, and other areas. According to the Actual Market Research report titled, "Japan Micro Irrigation System Market Overview, 2027", the Japanese micro irrigation market is expected to grow by more than 9% CAGR. More than one million farmers live in Japan. The country has the issue of declining farms, which is caused by the poor policies of land zoning, intensively high prices in rice cultivation, etc. Agriculture in Japan is one of the major sectors that contribute to the country’s GDP. So, to maintain agriculture's share of the country’s GDP, farmers are required to cultivate better yields. Therefore, the farmers use modern methods of farming on their farms to cultivate better-quality crops. Drip irrigation had over 70% market share as it is the most preferred choice of farmers in Japan. This system is most suitable for the crops that are grown in the Japanese fields. The drip irrigation system is also considered the most affordable system for Japanese farmers. The drip irrigation water is carried under compulsion through a pipe system to the fields, where it drips slowly onto the soil through emitters or drippers, which are located close to the plants. Therefore, the farmers use this system the most on Japanese farms. Furthermore, by crop type, amongst all the crops examined, orchards and vineyards are expected to be the fastest growing markets with a CAGR of more than 10% compared to other crops. The Japanese nation exports more than $3 million of wine to different nations, and it is also expected to increase in these numbers because of growing wine demand in Japan as well as in the world. In all, there are more than 290 vineyards in the nation. These vineyards produce the grapes through the use of micro irrigation systems, which are used for the preparation of wine. Therefore, the micro irrigation market through orchards and vineyards is about to increase. However, by end-user type market, it is distributed into three parts, namely industries, farmers, and community parks. All of these end users contribute to the nation's GDP as well as to the agriculture sector. Amongst all of this, the farmers are dominating the end-user type market. The farmers use the micro irrigation system for better yield production. Farmers are encouraged to cultivate crops because there is a demand for them. The farmers use the newly established method of micro irrigation to cultivate the better revenue-generating crops. Farmers worldwide get subsidies from their respective nations in order to invest in initial investment for the crops. These subsidies help farmers to maintain their farms to get better-quality crops. The other factor that impacted the micro irrigation market is the novel coronavirus, which brought recession to the world economy. This recession affected every sector of every economy. One such sector was the agriculture sector, which is the major source of food for every nation. The other negative effect in the agricultural sector was caused by COVID-19, which came to the labour force in February. Due to the lunar New Year, labour force from China returned to their homes in vegetable producing areas such as the northern part of Japan and high land areas in the middle of the mainland, but this time with nothing to do on farm, they couldn't come back to Japan due to lockdown all over China.
