AGRI SMILE develops software-driven agricultural DX solutions and residue-derived biostimulants, covering activities from cultivation to sales and academic collaboration. Its business is organized into R&D for biostimulants, a KAISEKI analytics service, a direct-to-consumer sales channel (産直プライム), and an Academia Hub for joint research. The company works with a network of over 150 JA cooperatives; in one JA it has analyzed roughly 1.2 billion produce items and its partner regions handle about ¥100 billion in produce value. The direct-to-consumer business grew sales fivefold in one year and more than 18x in two years. Cumulative funding since founding is about ¥960M. AGRI SMILE says it will accelerate investment in R&D, build operating profits, and consider medium-term international expansion to further advance sustainable agriculture.
