March 2021
National Chamber of Agriculture

Introduction
Part of the Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act and Ministry of Justice Establishment Act enacted on April 1, 2019
A new status of residence "Specified Skilled Worker" has been established by the law to revise the department.
The Specified Skilled Worker system accepts foreign human resources who are ready to work in industrial fields where there is a serious labor shortage.
It's something to put in.
At the National Chamber of Agriculture, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries' fiscal 2020 project "Foreign Human Resources
In the "Comprehensive Acceptance Support Project", farmers who accept specific skilled foreigners in the agricultural field
We investigated and created a collection of best practices.
Specifically, we ask the accepting farmers, etc. who are members of the “Agricultural Specified Skills Council” to comply with the following matters.
After conducting a questionnaire, we compiled the results of individual interviews and surveys.

Reasons for introduction, efforts, etc.
• Differences in social activities in Japan due to prior training at the sending organization •
Immediately after the start of the specified skilled worker system, it was difficult to collect documents
Technical interns have been accepted for 20 years. Originally Chinese. Currently, we are working with farmers who have completed technical training at our company and farmers in other prefectures.
There are many Tonam people.
There is a difference in social activities in Japan between sending organizations that provide thorough preparatory training and those that do not. In particular, many of the foreigners that the company
accepts are serious people who have undergone thorough preparatory training in Vietnam and Sri Lanka. If the conditions of wages and holidays are compromised, they will be hired as ready-to-work
workers. Currently, the Hokuso Agricultural Management Support Business Cooperative, in which the company's managing director participates, is active as a supervising organization and registration
support organization.
there is
Partly because the Specified Skilled Worker system had just started, it was difficult to collect certification documents from tax offices, legal affairs bureaus, city halls, etc.
Employment contract/support details
• Direct employment is basic, but there are some farmers who want to use it at a spot • All employees are
provided with bicycles for commuting, shopping, etc.
[employment contract]
Currently, all of them are direct hires and are for five consecutive years. There are 260 contracted farmers, some of whom want to use them on a spot basis during the busy farming season, and
we are considering using dispatched workers in the future.
[Details of support such as preliminary guidance]
Explanation of employment conditions and cost of living (trial calculation) before employment. There is also a
simple Japanese test that is linked to work, such as the names of vegetable varieties. In particular, thorough instruction on cleaning methods is provided.
ÿ4ÿ
The dormitory is separated by gender, with a guideline of 3 people per 2DK. We think that 7.5 square meters per person is
necessary. Foreigners inquire about the location of supermarkets and convenience stores. Bicycles for everyone for commuting, shopping, etc.
is paid. [Community
exchange] While
encouraging participation in events such as Bon Odori, we will also take foreigners to the fire brigade in which the Managing Director participates if they wish.
[Other support]
We communicate by chatting during work. There are requests from foreigners for medical
escorts, and an interpreter is available. Do not meddle in private matters such as holidays and let them
be free.
Working Conditions, Career Advancement and Compensation
•The hourly wage is slightly higher than the minimum wage, and the cost of obtaining a driver's
license is also paid .
[wage]
The hourly wage is slightly higher than the minimum wage, which is 160,000 yen or more per month. Overtime pay is added 1.25 times. Salaries are paid on the 5th of every month.
[holiday]
We have 6 days off per month, but foreigners work even on their days off, and their wages are added accordingly. The current problem is that foreigners do
not take time off, as pointed out by the employment security office.
[Break time]
Break time is 90 minutes in the afternoon and afternoon, just like Japanese part-timers. During work, it is important to replenish water and pay attention to how
to handle knives and agricultural machinery.
[Other support]
In addition, expenses are incurred for obtaining a driver's license. With foreign
workers, we hold a drinking party at an izakaya about once every three months for a membership fee.
[Career Advancement]
Salary increases every April, just like
Japanese people. On the condition that they obtain a driver's license, they will be treated as a group leader, for example. Wages, etc. were raised
by about 3% at the stage of becoming a specified skilled worker from a technical intern trainee. Naturally, wages will be raised step by step for those who can
work.
Effects and future intentions
• After accepting, it will be a great power such as realizing scale expansion • We
would like to accept if there is an intention to work for a long term
[effect]
Accepting foreigners has led to scale expansion and an increase in the labor force. In terms
of scale expansion, it expanded from 20ha to 3ha. In terms of the labor force, the amount of work is 2.5 times higher than that of part-time workers with older
workers (around 65 years old on average), and they also undertake heavy physical work. Specified skilled workers have a period of stay of five years, which
allows them to make long-term management plans. They are more motivated to work than Japanese people. While young Japanese workers are not easily
established, foreigners say that they work hard and enjoy their work.

I communicate with foreigners in Japanese as well as for study. If they want
to work in Japan for a longer period of time, we will accept them.

Because of the production
of beef cattle, the technical intern trainees, even if they are
good human resources, return to their home countries in a short period of time.

•Expectations for foreign workers with qualifications that allow them to work for a long period of time
Two dairy farmers and one poultry farmer who completed the technical intern training under the members of the Farmers' Cooperative Association started working at Kamata Ranch.
The managing director of the company went for an interview.
Expectations for the success of foreign human resources are overwhelmingly high. We have been accepting technical intern trainees for the past 10 years or so, but due to beef cattle fattening, they
could not shift to the second year due to the system and returned to Japan after one year. I wanted to make use of the skill system.
• Employment conditions equal to or higher than those of Japanese people • Expenses
for acquiring a driver's license and purchasing a light vehicle are borne by the ranch
We plan to hire them for 5 years, but we are renewing the contract every year because things may change, including the situation in their home country, and because it will motivate foreign workers.
Since they have more ability than Japanese people, it is necessary to make them equal to or better than Japanese people. It is important to build a relationship of trust by listening to the needs of foreign
human resources. [Advance Guidance]
They explained that they should pay the same wages as the Japanese, that they had built a new dormitory, and that they had to pay attention to beef cattle (such as their large bodies).
[Regional Exchange]
Mowing is done 3-4 times a year. Local residents can feel at ease because they can get acquainted with local people. Young and capable foreigners are also appreciated for mowing grass.

[Other support]
Support for obtaining a driver's license. A driver's license is required to match the standard of living with Japanese people.
The ranch paid for the purchase of the car. I want to do everything I can to reassure you. In order to pass the license exam, we are improving our Japanese
language education.
•Do not restrict employees on holidays and allow them to go
out by car •Provide safety and health guidance necessary for handling large machinery
[Wages]
Hourly wage system. Unable to determine whether hourly wages or monthly wages are more appropriate, the ranch chose hourly wages.
[working time]
There is overtime, and a premium wage of 1.25 times is paid.
[holiday]
Like Japanese people, you can take a day off once a week on a variable system. I don't want to be tied down because I want you to self-manage. I have also given him a car
key, so he seems to be able to visit Takamatsu City freely. Since it is a shift system, there are times when I have holidays with other foreign workers, and there are times when
they are not.
[Break time]
Japanese people take it exactly, so take it in the same way.
[Safety and
hygiene] Two people enter the barn as a set. There is not much work done solely by foreign personnel. It
is assumed that we will eventually handle large machines, so we have to provide the necessary safety and health guidance.
[career enhancement]
I've been working for half a year, so I'm still considering it, but eventually I want to position it as the manager of foreign human resources. Pyramid of foreign talent

It is also assumed as a requirement that if you can get a large special license, you will be able to advance your career.
[Ability improvement
measures] Retired employees who have graduated from the Faculty of Education are invited as Japanese language instructors, and they study Japanese every Wednesday
from 7:00 to 8:30. I buy and teach N1 textbooks. very high level.
[Salary
increase] I haven't decided yet because it's my first year, but I plan to raise it by about 3% every April.
[Welfare]
Conducting a welcome party, and conducting a banquet for venting gas. It is difficult for employees to travel because they cannot leave the barn for beef cattle fattening.
• It is better not to hire foreign workers with

a vague idea.
It is clear that the labor force will increase, and we would like to further expand the scale. Fluent in Japanese makes it easy for first-year technical intern trainees to work. The
Japanese are also very grateful because they have been a great help. I would like to hire about 10 foreign workers in total. The specific skill system allows for long-term
employment, so communication
deepens. An image that does everything flawlessly. Cambodians are kind in a Buddhist country and have never been in a fight.
An examination was also conducted for Cambodian technical intern trainees who had no choice but to return to Japan after one year due to the system, and one of them passed.
ÿ8ÿ
We plan to hire more people in the
future. Companies with ambiguous ideas do not want to hire foreign personnel. Coexistence with foreigners is a matter
of course.
[Toward institutionalization of matching]
A trial period is always necessary for new employment, but I think it is an issue in the specific skill system. I think it would be
desirable to have a system to accommodate good human resources within the current supervising organizations and registration support organizations' agricultural and livestock groups. A
sending organization under the umbrella of the Farmers' Cooperative Association has been established in Cambodia, and the route for recruiting foreign workers is well-established.

•Employment of technical intern trainees as specific skills
One of the technical intern trainees who had been training at Fukushima Enya had a strong desire to work at the company, so they are familiar with it.
The representative personally recruited these technical intern trainees and adopted them as specified skilled foreign workers.
There are high expectations for the active participation of foreign workers with specified skills. For the past few years, we have been accepting technical interns, but we have
no choice but to return to Japan after 3 years, and even good human resources will go back to the hatchery and breeding chicken business. I wanted to I believe that the
chicken hatchery and egg-laying industry has room for progress and development in Vietnam in the future, and I have prospects and expectations for foreign human resources
with specific skills. Currently, it is a specific skill No. 1 for 5 years, but I would like to extend the period further. I would like to entrust the work to people who are willing to do this
business, both in Japan and overseas.
• 5-year employment contract because we want them to work for a long time • Support
for obtaining a car license, rental of bicycles and light cars
A five-year employment contract. I want you to work as long as possible. Since they have more
enthusiasm and ability than Japanese, it is possible that Japanese will become subordinates. [Advance Guidance]
I was a little worried because the explanation was at a stage when the specified skilled worker system had not yet been established. Since the living environment is 3 to 4
km from factories and workshops, they lend bicycles.

[Regional
exchange] The roadside station “Kenko no Eki” was established by the local government, and it is possible to use exercise facilities, etc., and foreign personnel are also used to maintain health.
Along with local understanding, it has become familiar with local people. As a local resident, I want you to become familiar with it. [Other support]
One of the specified skilled foreign workers (male) had a driver's license in his home country, but since Vietnam is not a member of the Geneva Agreement, he was unable to switch to an
international driver's license. . Another specified skilled worker (female) was supported to obtain a driver's license while staying in Japan (expenses, etc.). We rent small cars. Since there are
times when we cannot meet in person, we always use social media, etc., and pay attention to human relations among employees and to prevent troubles from occurring.
there is
•Monthly salary system for specified skilled foreign workers, extra wages paid in case of overtime work •Various
working hours system, return home on paid leave
[wage]
monthly salary. Technical intern trainees are paid on an hourly basis, but specific skilled foreign workers are paid on a monthly basis.
[working time]
Working hours are 7 hours and 15 minutes per day, and we have adopted a one-year variable working hours system with the understanding of foreign workers. There is overtime work, but a
premium wage of 1.25 times is paid.
[holiday]
You get 6 to 7 days off per month on a variable system, just like Japanese people. Self-management is the principle, so there is no restriction. I also gave him a car key, so he seems to be free
to go around Sukagawa. The paid leave system is the same as that of Japanese people, and there is no problem in taking and using it. It is also used for temporary return to home country.
[Break time]
1 hour in the afternoon and 15 minutes in the morning and afternoon. Take it as surely as the Japanese do. [Health and
safety]
Not a lot of dangerous work. The only time I touch the machine is to check the temperature of the incubator. We encourage them to
thoroughly follow the basic movements each time, and tell them not to overdo it when handling heavy objects.
Since the system has only been introduced for a short period of time, we are still considering it, but we would like to proceed with a plan to improve the level in stages. There is also a passion
for foreign workers with specific skills, and we believe that there are situations where they will become leaders of technical intern trainees and superiors of Japanese people.
[Capacity improvement measures]
Driver allowance etc. are also recognized.
[Salary increase]
I haven't decided yet because it's my first year, but I'm assuming that in the future, I'll raise the same salary as the Japanese as a requirement. [Welfare]
We hold dinner parties and travel to Tokyo and Hokkaido in response to requests from foreign personnel. However, it is difficult for all of us to go on a company trip because we cannot leave
the poultry house because of the breeding work.
ÿ 11 ÿ
•In addition to increasing the labor force, the working environment and level are also improved.
The increase in labor force is obvious. Both Japanese and foreigners were stimulated as goals and rivals, and the working environment and work level improved. I have been to
Vietnam for interviews for technical intern trainees, etc., and I visit their homes and interact with their parents and relatives, and there is a sense of security with each other. In the
future, we would like to explore business partnerships with technical intern trainees and returnees of specified skilled workers. One cycle (one rotation) is a combination of hatchery
(0.5 years) and chicken breeding (1.5 years), and it is not possible to experience up to two rotations during the three years of technical training. We would like you to gain sufficient
experience in the five years of the specified skills, improve your level, and contribute to the development of similar occupations in your home country.
Voices of Specified Skilled Workers
• I want to learn technology in Japan and start a business in Vietnam
Specified Skilled Worker [Male]
I want to learn how Japanese people work. When I was a technical intern, I devoted myself to my studies, but now I want to acquire skills and rules as a worker. Working with
chicks is fun, and you can also separate males and females. I learned how to operate machines such as incubator temperature control, and I would like to do the same work in
Vietnam. I want to work for 5 years or 10 years. On her days off, she does laundry and shopping, and sometimes even goes to Sukagawa.
Obtained a driver's license, although it was difficult to understand kanji
Specified Skilled Worker [Female]
I am satisfied with my work and life in Japan. Earnings are three times higher than wages in Vietnam. I got my driver's
license in Japan and am looking forward to using my car in my life in the future. Although it was difficult to understand kanji when obtaining a license, I was able to pass both
the practical and academic tests. Traffic rules and signs are fine. I am married to a Vietnamese man who is staying in Japan.

basic information
Occupation: Crop farming Cultivation
area: 355 ha of agricultural work (carrots, Chinese cabbage, lettuce, radishes, ginger, Japanese mustard spinach, etc.) at cooperative member farmers within the jurisdiction of JA
Shimabara Unzen Employees: N has 15 specified skilled workers (cultivating) 6 males and 9 females), and several of them are dispatched to JA Shimabara Unzen as specified skilled
workers (farmers).
Employment of experienced farmers who have completed technical training in Nagano, Kagawa, and Ibaraki
N is a staffing agency. There was a request from JA Shimabara Unzen, where I was dispatched, and I was originally planning to recruit Vietnamese workers. However, Japan and Vietnam
were able to conclude a bilateral agreement, so I switched to Cambodia, went to a local interview, and hired as a specific skilled worker. Human resources were recruited through a sending
organization for Cambodian technical intern trainees that had been accepted in Nagasaki Prefecture. We hired technical intern trainees from Nagano, Kagawa, and Ibaraki prefectures sent
by the sending organization. It was difficult to obtain the evaluation records of the former internships, so we mainly hired those who passed the technical internship specialized level
examination. I applied for a certificate of eligibility from June 2019, and finally got permission in December. The shortage of agricultural human resources in Nagasaki Prefecture is serious,
and after the end of Technical Intern Training No. 2, foreign human resources are also exploring whether to stay for 2 years as Technical Intern Training No. 3 or for 5 years as Specified
Skilled Worker No. 1. There was also a strong desire for wage income.
• Live in the prefectural official residence, secure Wi-Fi facilities and private space
In principle, the dispatch contract between N Co., Ltd. and the dispatch destination such as JA is renewed in half a year, and the employment contract between N and the
specified skilled foreign human resources is renewed in half a year. We are planning to renew the status of residence every year and will be employed for 5 years, and the
foreigners also want to stay for 5 years. [Living environment] Based on the comfort and spaciousness of living for specified skilled foreign workers. We have secured Wi-Fi
facilities and a private space, and live in a 3LDK x 2 units Nagasaki Prefectural Government Office. From their living environment, they temporarily gather at the gathering place for the
farmer's team and the harvest team (about 10 minutes), and head to the farm field with other Japanese workers (about 15 minutes). During that time, we will use a courtesy car operated
by agricultural cooperative staff or temporary staff. In 2008, Nouentai was organized under the national agricultural labor force securing support project, and since 2012, it has become a
unique form of JA Shimabara Unzen. Specified skilled workers work with 26 Japanese and another harvesting team (40 Japanese = 20 people x 2 teams).

There was an invitation from the Nagasaki Prefectural Promotion Bureau to participate in local events such as athletic meet, but due to the corona shock, it has not been realized. Foreign personnel
are also actively greeting and interacting with each other.

system [Working hours]
The working hours per day shall be 8 hours, with breaks all at once, 1 hour lunch break and 15 minutes each in the morning and afternoon. Farm work is easily affected by the
weather, and it is sometimes difficult to secure working hours, but he adheres to a 40-hour work week.
[holiday]
Like Japanese people, they get 5 to 8 days off per month. Usually Saturdays and Sundays of the month are holidays, and one day a week during the busy farming season. [Break time]
1 hour in the afternoon and 15 minutes in the morning and afternoon. I have acquired it without fail, just like Japanese people.

“Cultivation work manuals with photographs for each of the 12 items have been created” and “displayed in Japanese and native language (Khmer) to alert farmers”. However, foreign workers with
specified skills have experience in technical internships, etc., and are quick to grasp work procedures.
I've been working since December 2019, and it's still been half a year, so I'm still considering it, but I'd like to review it every year.
In cooperation with JA, we have an educational training plan to hold seminars on cultivation management, pesticide use, etc. [Salary increase]
I haven't decided yet because it's my first year, but I'm accepting it and envisioning it in the future. [Welfare]

• Leading to increased labor force and revitalization of the work environment • Actively
considering hiring people who have passed overseas exams
This led to an increase in the labor force and activation of the workplace. Specified skilled foreign workers have clearly expanded the range of exchanges compared to when they first entered Japan,
My understanding of the Japanese language and Japan has also deepened.
When farm work is not possible due to weather, etc., there is work at JA's agricultural product sorting plants, etc. (about 20% of the total), but they are working well.
They have gone to Cambodia for interviews, etc., and there is a sense of security with each other. This time, we
hired returnees who completed the technical intern training, but in the future, we are actively considering hiring people who have passed the overseas agricultural skill measurement test.

want to go. All recruits are recruited through sending organizations. The shortage of human resources
for farming and harvesting is progressing, and it is difficult to recruit Japanese workers. We would like to greatly promote the utilization of foreign human resources.
[Inter-prefectural relay for specified skilled foreign workers]
As an agricultural labor force support, we would like to promote inter-prefectural relay of specified skilled foreign human resources and strive to realize year-round employment of specified skilled foreign human
resources. As a temporary staffing company, we would like to contribute to the maintenance of production areas in each prefecture and the expansion of the scale of farmers by promoting the movement of foreign
workers with specific skills, taking advantage of the differences in the farming seasons of each prefecture. Currently, from December 2019 to June 2020 in Nagasaki Prefecture, and from June 2020 to November
2020 in Nagano Prefecture, we have realized the employment of four foreigners with specific skills.

• Accepting technical intern trainees from sending organizations in China every year
Mizuho Farm, which has been in business for 70 years, is the prefecture's top farm with 14 farms from Hokkaido to Okinawa. Technical intern trainees are accepted from China every
year, taking advantage of the connections with sending organizations in the director's hometown. The farm is highly trusted by sending organizations. Such companies do not attract
Japanese job vacancies. It takes three years to develop new employees after joining the company, but many people quit after a short period of time. For this reason, with the
establishment of the specified skill system, from January 2020, two technical intern trainees from the same farm were called from China and employed as specified skilled foreign
workers. In order to accept foreigners with specific skills, it is necessary to create a support plan, but asking a registration support organization to create it would be costly and
complicated, so the farm is creating it.

After completing 5 years of specified skills, I am thinking of hiring as a regular employee. As
for the dormitory fee, an amount corresponding to the utility fee is collected, but currently the dormitory fee has been reduced and it is practically free.
During the five years of the specified skill period, the company plans to send the person home once or twice at the request of the person. Wages are being
raised when transitioning from technical intern trainees.
•Taking care of personal connections with a view to expanding overseas
As a result of accepting foreign workers with specified skills, there was a recognition that the technical intern training would not end in three years, and they started working as technical intern trainees.
I'm getting better and better.
There are also plans for business tie-ups after the foreign workers with
specified skills return to their home countries. In order for Mizuho Farm to expand overseas, it is difficult to obtain human resources with human connections.
There is also a plan to accept human resources from Tonam.
I am satisfied with my work and life. Both of my
children are growing up, and I'm relieved that I'm in contact with them often.

• The specified skill system is not just a continuation of employment
All foreign workers with specific skills are Chinese. At the end of August 2019, there was a person who had completed Technical Intern Training No. 2 and changed his status of
residence to Specified Skilled Worker. After that, we gathered 12 technical intern trainees who had returned to Japan and gave an explanation of the Specified Skilled Worker system
in China. Five of them wanted to work in Japan and meet the chairman again. I entered the country immediately after the Chinese New Year. After that, there are also returnees, and
as of August 2020, the above five people are residing as specified skilled foreign workers. Human relationships formed during technical internships are based on mutual trust, and
the Specified Skilled Worker system is recognized not only as a continuation of employment, but as a strong conduit that connects employers and workers. The chairman himself
worked in Zhejiang Province, China for a long time, and this kind of understanding was fostered.

Since all the technical interns are hired from the accepted technical interns, the company recruits them.

12:00 to 13:00 is a break time under the employment contract. I also try to take breaks for 15 minutes from 10:00 and 15 minutes from 15:00. In hot weather, drinks purchased from
vending machines, planted watermelons, ice cream, etc. are distributed to prevent heatstroke.
[Health and safety]
When carrying out dangerous work such as carrying logs, we lend safety equipment and take precautions. Machine work is basically button operation, so there is no danger. As the

• The direction of technical intern trainees can be set, which directly leads to quality improvement on site •
Acceptance of technical intern trainees who have completed in other fields is also realized
For the technical intern trainees, working hard leads to motivation to become a specified skilled foreign worker whose wages will increase significantly, and the specific skill set has given the trainees a direction to aim
for. The chairman often says that he has created an in-house model (star). This contributed to the desire to improve quality, not just to produce better products. From the perspective of cultivating the current people,
the basic policy is to transfer technical intern trainees to specified skilled foreign workers. In addition, it has been decided that from August 2020, six technical intern trainees whose employment period has expired and
who cannot return to Japan will be accepted at an electronic device assembly manufacturer in Chiba Prefecture. Although it depends on the motivation of the individual, we would like to actively hire such cases and
develop them into foreign human resources with specific skills.
In addition, as an association, we would like to target those who have passed the agricultural skill measurement test in the future.

• Work based on the experience of the technical intern trainee days, guidance to juniors
When the foreign technical intern trainees were introduced in 2012, there were two Chinese trainees, but from the second batch onwards, Vietnamese trainees (around Hanoi) have been
accepted. Foreign workers with specific skills are mainly asked to do milking work. Due to my lack of language barriers, my experience as a technical intern trainee, and my steady work attitude,
I temporarily returned to Japan for about a month after completing the training, and then transitioned to a specified skill foreign worker and continued to employ him. There was also an intention
to have new junior technical intern trainees be instructed. Foreign workers want to work overtime in order to increase their take-home pay, but they hoped to become a specified skilled worker
who earns a large amount of money and is stable. Technical intern trainees who will finish in one year also hope to change to specified skilled foreign workers.
•It's safe and you can commute by bicycle from the newly built dormitory. •When
the Japanese employees are absent, you can direct the technical intern trainees to milk them.
After completing the practical training in November 2019 and temporarily returning to Japan, he has been directly employed
since January 2020. During the harvest season for fodder crops in autumn, the eldest son and the second son and his wife can concentrate on the harvesting work, and the milking work is
entrusted to the Vietnamese head (leader), who is a foreigner with specific skills.
I plan to hire him for 5 years, but suddenly I have doubts about 5 years, so I will renew it every year

[Accommodation] In January 2019, we built a new accommodation on a safe land near a police station. Seven Vietnamese people live in the dormitory, and the house
next door is the house of the second son. It is about 500m to the work site such as the cow barn, and in case of bad weather, the wagon driven by the second son
picks up and drops off six people. In addition, each of the seven Vietnamese is being lent a Japanese-made bicycle.

more every day.
[Health and safety]
In a slowly rotating parlour, there is no danger in cleaning the udders and setting the milker. However, they are instructed to pay close attention to the sudden
movements of dairy cows. Particular attention should be paid to heifers. In addition, we are careful not to contaminate the bulk with antibiotics, etc., and everyone
pays close attention so that the 6,000 liters of raw milk in two units each day will not go to waste.
We have new technical intern trainees work in a leadership position.
Japanese language learning is conducted with the cooperation of registration support organizations. The interpreter is also a former technical intern trainee, and is motivated and
understands each position. [Salary increase/Benefits]
When the employment contract is renewed, the basic salary will be increased by about 3% after confirming with the registration
support organization. In addition to wages, family allowances for family members left in their home countries, special allowances for foreigners (including technical
intern trainees), and specific skill allowances for specified skilled foreign workers are set.

We have various projects with the registration support organization, but this year we have canceled due to the prevention of corona infection.

•Foreign personnel have a hungry spirit and want to respond properly
Specified skilled workers have a sense of responsibility and ability, and milking rotations are fixed, so they are entrusted with peace of mind and work well. I went to
Hanoi with the supervising organization (registration support organization) for interviews, etc., and there is a sense of security with each other. The shortage of human

technology and have an advantage over foreign countries such as Taiwan and South Korea. The public and private sector must make an effort. As part of this, we will

In addition to a one-hour lunch break, they take breaks in the fields in the mornings and afternoons.
[Health and safety]
Since the slopes of the plum fields are steep, we provide training in advance on mowing and other tasks that may cause injury. We teach them not to drop the machine and to
avoid slipping when standing on a slope. Since stepladders are used for harvesting, instruction is also provided on how to use stepladders.
At Agri&Care, staff members with instructor qualifications provide GAP commentary on risk assumptions related to occupational safety and education on injury prevention.
There is a promotion system for leaders and managers, but as Agri&Care is only in its second year of operation, there are currently no eligible employees.
No.
For personnel evaluation, Agri & Care evaluates the results of working for one year, taking into account the opinions of the dispatched company.
[Mechanism for Capacity Development]
Agri&Care has pre-work, 2nd and 3rd year systematic educational programs. The pre-employment training focuses on GAP training, avoiding injury (thinking about risks), and
management work to have a leader's perspective. He organizes the flow of work that he experienced during his technical intern training, and helps him understand the work
process. As original teaching materials, we have prepared existing agricultural materials written in easy Japanese. At Katsumata Farm, we ask them to try out the entire process.

As Agri & Care, we are considering mutual exchanges and what we can do.
Agri&Care would like to systematically increase annual contracts. Katsumata Farm also intends to increase the number of foreign workers. Originally, I accepted
it because it was difficult to gather Japanese people, but I would like to increase the number of people because both of them are very friendly and easy to work
with. Looking at the acceptance status of Katsumata Farm, it seems that there is a growing need for accepting foreign workers from nearby farmers. Since
Agri&Care has just been established, we would like to listen to the opinions of farmers and support them if they have any requests, such as having a driver's
license or forklift license. The standard Japanese level is N3, and the emphasis is on having a high level of Japanese. The reality is that the culture of dispatching
workers has not taken root in agriculture.

Takagi Farm operates three divisions: farm, direct sales store, and restaurant. Technical interns are not accepted. There are cases where neighboring farmers have accepted
them, but since there was no connection, we decided to accept them by dispatch from Agri & Care utilizing the National Strategic Special Zone Project. The foreigner was
originally a technical intern trainee, and from the beginning he intended to work in Japan. He intends to continue farming even after returning to Japan after completing the
specified skills training, and wants to acquire the skills to grow tomatoes because they can be grown in any country. Agri & Care is recruiting for Vietnamese technical intern
trainees who have returned to Japan. The specific skilled foreign workers at this farm are those who have been engaged in the special zone business in Japan.
•Have them work as long as possible and watch their growth

leader and assume the chain of command.
Consideration of relay response in order to meet human resource needs only during the busy season
Year after year, I was troubled by the lack of manpower, but I am saved because it becomes a force. With globalization, customers have more opportunities to interact with
foreigners, and it is a good experience to have opportunities to interact with foreigners on a daily basis like this. Her Japanese ability is N3, and her bright personality makes
it easy to get along with her. In the past, during the busy season, there were some areas where we were not thorough, such as taking care of crops and making arrangements
for shipping, but we were able to compensate for that, which led to an increase in sales. In addition, medium- and long-term plans can be made due to the stable labor force.
If you have a heart, I would like to continue interacting with you regardless of whether you are a Japanese or a foreigner. As Agri&Care, we feel that there is a need for
people who can communicate in Japanese and can do administrative work using a personal computer, and we would like to acquire high-level specified skilled foreign
personnel. In addition, there are many human resource relay needs between regions, as human resources are needed only during the busy season, and we are considering

needs of the market. Currently, the company's main products are subdivided small chrysanthemums and okra, which has
been reduced in size from 10 cm to 7 cm. The representative director is mainly in charge of the production department, and
the director is mainly in charge of sales. One of the three executives was originally an international student and is an Indonesian
with whom the company has a close relationship. There is one Japanese employee. 6 foreigners who have completed technical
intern training. 1 foreigner who is a former international student. There are two part-time workers, but one of the specified
skilled foreign workers has passed the examination of the specified skilled foreign human resources system. All foreigners are
Indonesian men. This team is cultivating the farm. It has been accepting international students for four years, and has since
changed to a specific skilled foreigner.
• Calling out technical intern trainees who have returned to their home countries, interviewing them,
and hiring them • Recruitment using SNS
The company has been interested in the system since the government was considering whether to introduce it. , the representative director goes to
Indonesia and hires after an interview. It seems that there are quite a lot of voices wishing to go to Japan at the local Japanese language school. The
representative director said that technical intern trainees are more flexible than Japanese (there are few sudden breaks during busy periods, and there
are almost no sudden resignations, etc.), and he had a good impression of their work performance. Accepted as a specific skill foreign human resource.
The son's director is conducting recruitment activities using SNS. The number of employees may change depending on the expansion of the business
scale in the future.
I don't think so.
Foreign workers with specific skills were nervous at first, but gradually got used to it, but I was worried about accidents. I am not thinking about teaching
from 1 to 10, but I think it would be nice if the autonomy would grow. We are considering creating a mechanism to do so. I think it would be even better if
we could warmly welcome visitors from overseas. The biggest merit is that it can be calculated as immediate fighting power. Unlike technical intern
trainees, the major goal of foreign workers with specific skills is to earn money. Based on such global encounters, we believe that the future will expand
even after they return home, and that expanding the scale will also contribute to elderly farmers who are struggling to maintain their farmland. Six of our
company's specified skilled foreign workers are married. Some say that they want to live in Japan with their families.

•The support plan will be handled by the company.
•Guided to greet the neighbors to get along with them.
The employment contract is direct employment, and has been renewed every year since April 2008, the same as the visa period.
[Support plan]
We requested the registration support organization to prepare the support plan for the first six months, but now we are handling it ourselves.
[Housing]
In order to avoid troubles between foreigners and Japanese people, rent a detached house instead of an apartment complex.
ing.
[Regional Exchange]
We are instructing farmers to greet neighboring farmers, etc., especially when spraying pesticides or at various events (for example, company-sponsored
dinners where many other Japanese people gather), so that they can get used to the community. I am urging you to Bullfighting seems to be popular here, and
the company also raises bulls for bullfighting.
• Discuss deductible items such as social insurance thoroughly to resolve doubts • Considering introducing a
personnel evaluation system that combines self-evaluation and superior's evaluation
[working time]
Working hours are 6.5 hours a day and 160 hours a month on a flextime system. Overtime is paid for hours over 160 hours. social insurance
We will try to resolve any doubts by discussing any deductions.
[Salary]
The base salary is 100 yen per hour more than the minimum wage.
[Holiday]
Closed on Sundays. I don't dare to teach if it's a sudden holiday such as sickness. The lunch break is two hours (15-minute break in the morning and afternoon)
in response to requests from foreign workers with specific skills, and is longer in the summer.
Currently, we are considering introducing a personnel evaluation system that combines self-evaluation and superior evaluation. From the idea that someone
will do it, we are thinking of a system that can evaluate those who work positively, such as a foreigner in charge of work.
[Other support]
Three of the specified skilled foreign workers have a driver's license. Basically, Indonesian license holders challenge themselves at the test site, but the
company pays for up to three challenges. Drivers with licenses receive a base salary of ¥1,000. As part of welfare programs, we plan to hold a yakiniku party
four to five times a year. In addition, work vehicles should not be used for private purposes.
I also admit.
• Reassurance by having representatives meet the families of foreign workers
Like foreign workers with specific skills, the ability to calculate work arrangements is large, and planning can be maintained. On the other hand, there is too much
uncertainty about when the Japanese will quit.
ÿ 34 ÿ
Foreigners are hungry and want to work overtime, but I try not to force them. The representative director of the company visits Bali, the
hometown of the specified skilled workers, to see the local scenery and meet their families, giving them a sense of security. There are 3 people on the waiting list in Indonesia. The company plans to
expand the scale of the company because it can plan the performance of the specified skilled foreign personnel, but it is not possible to expand the scale indefinitely, and the company will consider
the balance between the scale and the strength of the employees. right.
For money, for my family, I will do my best for at least five years. I enjoy my work. Agricultural machinery is difficult to repair. Both Japanese and the Okinawan dialect are difficult. (High Japanese
language proficiency, no problem in communication) Satisfied with life and salary, salary sent to family. When I return to Japan, I want to teach young people about agriculture. I want to be president
of agriculture.
