Agricultural platform agmiru collaborates with MAFF app of Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries

SB Technology Corp. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President ＆ CEO: Shinichi Ata, hereinafter referred to as SBT) and REDEN Corp. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Ikuma Uehara, hereinafter referred to as REDEN) have opened We are pleased to announce that the innovative agricultural platform "agmiru" and the MAFF app, a communication tool that has been provided by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries since May to distribute useful information to farmers, have started an API collaboration.
In order to deliver policy information to as many people involved in agriculture as possible, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has developed a policy information API so that the information distributed through the MAFF app can also be viewed by services such as private businesses. This is the first time we have started collaboration for news content.

The MAFF app has been used by farmers in the field, who have complained that the policy information issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has not reached farmers, is difficult to understand, and contains information that is of no interest to them. This smartphone app was developed in response to the issue of difficult farming, and provides useful policy information and event information for everyone involved in agriculture in an easy-to-understand article format, sorted by tag for each category. Articles currently being distributed include support measures related to the new coronavirus infection, introductions to smart agriculture initiatives, and information on income insurance systems.

Through this collaboration, agmiru users will be able to obtain information in real time within agmiru agricultural news. Users can also comment on the article among themselves, and by asking a wide range of questions to young farmers, professional farmers, experts, etc. through agmiru's community service, it is possible to further deepen their understanding of the information.

■ About agmiru
“AGMIRU” was launched in June 2017 as a matching service that allows you to easily compare agricultural materials, and in August 2019, in collaboration with REDEN, it was renewed as an agricultural platform that realizes highly reliable agricultural management using data. I did it. Currently, as ``agmiru,'' we provide services such as agricultural news, a farmer community, and market information in addition to the conventional agricultural materials comparison and purchase service.
