🏢 About the local organisation

This project is organized for the first time by the local goup. "Sudachi" citrus is one of the local specialties in Tokushima pref. Kamiyama-cho produces 95% of sudachi citrus harvested throughout Japan. This town with 5300 people has aging and depopulation problems like other small communities in Tokushima. There are more fallow because of the shortage of successors for sudachi farmers. We would like you to think of clues to solve problems and ways to hand down the world best skills to the next generation through the experience at sudachi farms surrounded by beautiful nature, and understand the culture and history of Kamiyama-cho.

💼 What the programme involves

1. Support harvesting and shipping "Sudachi" citrus at its season 2. Help spreading information on SNS to the world about sudachi citrus, such as the history and environment of its birth place in various languages
