Kubota-Hawai'i AgTech Collaboration
Farmers and ranchers in Hawai'i have expressed an interest in sourcing small farming and gardening equipment not currently available in the USA and feel equipment available in Japan is better suited to Hawai'i's small farm sizes and farming conditions. HIAP's collaboration with Kubota is designed to test those assumptions and explore the possibility of importing Kubota equipment to Hawai'i from Japan. In order to evaluate this opportunity, we share lists below of Kubota equipment sold in Japan and the Kubota equipment currently manufactured in the USA by Kubota and sold in Hawai'i by its local distributor, Bacon Universal. This will help ensure producers are fully aware of what is already available by Kubota in Hawai'i before exploring potential import opportunities from Japan.
Below are links to the Kubota Japan and Kubota North America websites and underneath are summary lists of the farming and gardening equipment available from each. Please review the lists and identify equipment you might be interested in using the survey form below.
