Your Partner for Dry-Field Faming to Rice Farming
Kubota is one of the few companies in the world that provides comprehensive equipment for both “Dry-Field Farming” and “Rice Farming”. Kubota has supported and continues to support people's daily lives by providing agricultural solutions in terms of products and services. Our history of agricultural machines is the history of the evolution of the agriculture industry in Japan, and has shown a strong commitment to the contribution of the industry's development and improvement. Kubota has been expanding that spirit abroad, by helping to boost the agriculture industry to the next level in other countries. One of the characteristics of Kubota is our hands-on approach. We have been working closely with farmers, contractors, and gardeners to create and support what they need to manage their fields. Kubota, as an “agriculture company,” not an agricultural machine manufacturer, will continue to work closely with them to design the next stage of the industry.

Rice Farming Specialist
As a company originating from Japan, where staple diet is rice all through its history, Kubota is the specialist in rice farming industry. The innovation of Kubota's farming technologies was in tandem with the farmers. Listening closely to their needs and their issues, we challenged ourselves with passion, what can we do to make the farmers' lives better. As a result, Kubota covers from “raising seedling”, “tilling”, “planting”, “harvesting”, “drying”, “husking”, “rice milling”, to “preservation.” Even the best way for “cooking” was researched and developed. Kubota continues to innovate itself as the professional of rice farming.
Pick Up- “Rice-Robo” for Rice Cooking
-
Supplying good quality rice is important but educating people how to cook it, in a delicious way is also our mission as the rice specialist. Kubota developed “Rice-Robo”, a commercial-use automatic rice cooking system that operates at a top performance level. It has already been working hard in areas outside of Japan, such as Hong-Kong, etc.

Foresight into the Next Generation with ICT
Kubota introduced ICT (Information & Communication Technology) to agriculture. KSAS (Kubota Smart Agriculture System), our innovative new system using ICT, collects data from Kubota's agricultural machinery and utilizes the data to support the optimization of rice cultivation with high yields and good quality. The combination of Kubota's high performance machinery and IT technology has resulted in an innovative technology, making “lucrative agriculture management” a reality. Today, Japan faces a decline in birth rate and ageing of the population. As a result, the number of farmers is decreasing which is regarded as a very serious issue in the Japanese agriculture industry. If agriculture can become more lucrative and efficient with such a technology, we may be able to attract the younger generation. It will always be our challenge to build the foundation for the next generation of agriculture.
Pick Up- Combine Harvester Can Taste Rice
-
Some series of Kubota's harvesters have censors to monitor the amount of water and protein content in the grain of rice, both of which affect the taste of the rice. Thus, the harvesters literally know the taste of the rice. Furthermore, from the data they collected, Kubota's combine harvester can locate where the best rice paddy field for making good rice are.

Pick Up- China—Supporting Contractor's Great Journey
-
In China, due to the broad crop fields, contractors help the harvesting where farmers cannot handle by themselves. They travel from north to south in harvest season, loading their combine harvester on their truck. To support the contractors' productive journey, Kubota support team follows them and provides services when the harvesters have problems. Furthermore, sometimes Kubota gives them some advice on harvesting and efficient routes for their journey.
