I wrote that the agricultural ministry in Japan aims to use high techniques for farming.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has started to give subsidies to farms if they use assist suits since July, this year.
https://www.maff.go.jp/j/keiei/nougyou_jinzaiikusei_kakuho/attach/pdf/index-3.pdfThe subsidy is named “Aging Friendly Subsidy”, so farms must hire a person over 60 years old if they get the subsidy.
Farmers can get the subsidy at the half price of the suits. (maximum 1 million yen).
I guess not only aging people but also young people need the assistance suits if they consider the better circumstances.
You can see how assist suits are working on the agriculture ministry’s official YouTube!
