What does Minori mean?

In Japanese, 実り (minori) means harvest — the fruit of hard work and patience. We chose this name because our mission is exactly that: helping Ukrainian farmers harvest new opportunities in Japan, while helping Japanese farms harvest the labor they urgently need.

Minori UAJP operates in partnership with JITCO-affiliated registered support organizations (登録支援機関) in Japan, ensuring full compliance with Immigration Services Agency requirements for SSW placements.

Why This Matters Now

Average age of Japan's core agricultural workforce in 2024

Decline in Japanese farm workforce since 2000 (2.4M → 1.1M)
$230M
Japan granted to support Ukrainian agriculture in 2024 — the relationship is active

Japan's agricultural crisis is structural and accelerating. Ukraine's agricultural workforce is experienced, available, and motivated. Minori UAJP is the bridge that turns this into mutual opportunity.
