Bringing innovative Japanese technologies to European agriculture

Japan Concept Ltd

Japan Concept was established in 1998 to introduce innovative technologies to agriculture and fresh produce industries.

Beginning with Buddy Tape® in tree nurseries, the company has expanded into water efficiency, residue-free storage and sustainable crop production technologies.

Our Mission

Maximising Efficiency, Minimising Waste

We work with technologies that share a common objective:

  • maximise the efficient use of limited resources;

  • reduce losses and waste;

  • reduce reliance on chemical residues;

  • support more sustainable agricultural production.

Through long-term partnerships with specialist companies, universities and technical institutes, we seek practical solutions to some of agriculture's greatest challenges.
