Our project started from pesticide-free farming. We kept doing try and error to grow rice without pesticide, especially on fertilizer and weeding parts. We encountered the microbial farming method that made our goal more realistic. We establish Hinai Enzyme Research Association with other 25 farmers who are aiming for Pesticides-free farming. 

We started selling our ‘special rice’ as well. We had been struggling to sell our chemical-free rice. Then government adopted the policy of rice acreage reduction. It resulted in some of the farmland switching their production from rice to other crops. We grew soybeans. Again we faced trouble selling soybeans as crops. We decided to go for food processing to provide food made with pesticide-free crops to society.
