“The company’s vision is to be an ASEAN leader in farm and industrial machinery with Agri-innovative solutions to fulfill better and sustainable life of people. These moves are initiated in the hope of Thai farmers to easily access to precise farming management driven by innovative products and farm technology, as well as enable them to save costs, boost productivity, gain steady income, and ultimately achieve a better quality of their life. This new aspiration will also help elevating ASEAN’s agricultural sector as a whole, contribute to the global food security through safety agricultural products under international standards, and ultimately gain the company trust and recognition as Global Major Brand, in line with the policy set forth by KUBOTA Corporation Japan”
“Asia is an exciting market for agricultural machinery seeking innovative solutions for its specific local challenges.
