Morino Co., Ltd. (Japan) operates a development site in Taiwan, leveraging the region’s warm climate to conduct experiments in microbial farming and crop cultivation under environmental stress conditions. The site serves as a testing ground for a full-cycle approach—from technology development to mass production validation—for crops such as dragon fruit, pumpkin, tomato, corn, and zucchini.

In our domestic field test sites across Japan, we conduct stable cultivation trials under extreme weather conditions for crops such as green onions, strawberries, zucchini, turnips, and fennel. These trials integrate smart sensor technologies with microbial farming practices. The objectives are to enhance crop flavor, mitigate continuous cropping obstacles, and significantly reduce the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

In China, we support industry partners and manage a 300-hectare smart agriculture demonstration base. The facility integrates LED supplemental lighting with a recirculating hydroponic system to ensure stable production of diverse leafy vegetables such as coriander, lettuce, and basil. At the same time, we promote sustainable open-field cultivation of tomatoes, watermelons, chili peppers, and herbs through low-pesticide, resource-efficient practices and soil improvement technologies.
