Through collaboration between Oishii Farm and Yaskawa Electric, we will realize a fully automated plant factory.
Scale up the business to a global scale through production cost reduction and stable production.
It enables more sustainable agricultural production.
Opened “Mugen Farm”:
Oishii Farm will open 74,000 square feet of the world’s largest strawberry factory “Mugen Farm” in May 2022.
The farm uses 60% less energy and 40% less water than the earlier farm.
A combination of Yaskawa Electric’s cutting-edge technology and Oishii Farm’s crop management and environmental control system.
Realize sustainable agriculture by reducing waste of crops, energy and water.
A new standard for global agriculture:
Oishii Farm makes full use of Japanese seedlings and agricultural technology.
We have developed a technology that enables mass production of strawberries all year round with limited land and resources and without the use of pesticides.
In June 2022, we realized a lower price due to the larger scale of the plant factory.

In the past, it was served to Michelin-starred restaurants.
This time, it is now on sale at American high-end supermarket “Whole Foods”.
