Agreen

What Agreen does

Agreen (株式会社あぐりーん) operates 農家のおしごとナビ (Nouka no Oshigoto Navi), a Japan-wide agricultural job portal covering all 47 prefectures plus a small overseas category, serving both sides of the Japanese agricultural labor market: job seekers (free registration) and agricultural employers (farms, livestock operations, agritourism ventures, agricultural corporations, and JA-affiliated entities). The platform is structured as a faceted job board with filters by prefecture, sector (rice, vegetables, fruit, flowers, dairy, beef, pig, poultry, horse, forestry, agritourism, and regional revitalization), employment type, and housing availability, supplemented by content marketing (career stories, regional profiles), a paid agricultural-experience funnel (¥6,000/day programs ranging from day trips to multi-night farm stays), a new-graduate service (Agri Career 2027 and 2028 cohorts), and aggregation of municipal settlement-support programs. The company was established in April 2020 and is headquartered in Chiba, Japan.

The underlying technology is a standard web-based job board and matching platform with no disclosed mobile app, public API, or AI/ML components. Matching for paid placements is performed by licensed human career advisors, not algorithms. Distribution is entirely online through agreen.jp, with a call center (0120-992-955) supporting employer sales and seeker inquiries.

Revenue is generated predominantly through B2B placement fees: under licensed employment agency permit 12-ユ-300259 (有料職業紹介, Chiba), Agreen charges employers 35% of the placed candidate's first-year annual salary upon successful hire, with tiered refunds (50% if the employee departs within one month, 10% within one to three months). Job seeker registration is free, and agricultural-experience participants pay per-day fees. Named employer customers span Toyota Group's paprika subsidiary ベジ・ドリーム栗原, JA Furano's アグリプラン, 小岩井農場 (Koiwai Farm), and numerous regional agricultural corporations. The company is privately held, founder-owned, with no disclosed institutional capital, no funding history, and no revenue disclosure.

Direct peers

• Agri Innovation (アグリイノベーション): Operates AgriNavi(あぐりナビ) and Agri Match (アグリマッチ), Japan's other major agricultural job-matching platforms. Directly competes with Agreen for both farm employers and agricultural job seekers across prefectures.

Broad incumbents

• Mynavi (マイナビ) — マイナビ農業 vertical: Major Japanese HR conglomerate with a dedicated agricultural recruitment vertical (マイナビ農業). Offers similar job-board functionality for farms but as part of a much broader recruitment portfolio serving all industries.
• Recruit Holdings — タウンワーク / Indeed Japan: Japan's largest recruitment company operating タウンワーク, Indeed Japan, and Recruit Agent. Agricultural jobs appear on these generalist platforms, providing free alternatives to Agreen for both employers and job seekers.
• Hello Work (ハローワーク): Japanese government-operated free employment service. Handles a meaningful share of agricultural placements, especially for seasonal and senior workers, and competes on price (free) against Agreen's employer-paid model.
• Wantedly: Japanese job-matching platform emphasizing company culture and mission fit. Increasingly used by mission-driven agricultural corporations and agritech startups to recruit, overlapping with Agreen's employer base.
• BizReach: Japanese direct-recruitment platform for mid-career and managerial talent. Competes for the experienced-farm-manager segment of Agreen's market, particularly at larger agricultural corporations.
• パーソルキャリア (doda): Operates doda, one of Japan's largest job boards, which lists agricultural roles alongside general openings. Provides a free alternative channel for farm employers, though without Agreen's agricultural specialization.

Regional players

• JA 全農 (Zen-Noh): National federation of Japanese agricultural cooperatives that runs its own recruitment channels for member farms. While not a commercial job board, it competes for the same employer-attention and labor supply in the cooperative segment.

Others

• 日本農業新聞 (Japan Agricultural News): Specialized agricultural newspaper that carries classified job advertisements and recruitment content. Competes indirectly for attention from both farm employers and prospective farmers, but through print rather than digital matching.
• Rural Bank Institute (ふるさと回帰支援センター): Non-profit promoting rural migration, with government-funded job-matching and consultation services for people moving to farming regions. Overlaps with Agreen's municipal settlement support content and new-graduate funnel.
