Working hours in Japanese agriculture refer to the time spent on farm work, and vary greatly depending on the season, especially in the production of grains, especially rice. During the planting and harvesting seasons, work is intensive and long hours are required. Generally speaking, rice farming is a busy season, from planting in the spring to harvesting in the fall. The aging of agricultural workers and labor shortages have become issues, and there is a demand for more efficient use of working hours. As a result, mechanization and the introduction of ICT technology are progressing, and there are increasing efforts to reduce labor. However, a large workforce is still needed during peak season.
