Japanese firms bringing carbon credits to Thailand through greener agriculture
Sources of informationMarch 31, 2026 | AgNavigator |
Japanese technology firms NEC and Fager have announced a partnership to promote sustainable agriculture in Thailand by combining precision farming solutions with agriculture-derived carbon credit generation. The initiative builds on Fager's model of supporting farmers to adopt emission-reducing practices, integrated with NEC's precision fertilizer system, which tailors fertilizer application to specific field conditions to prevent over-fertilization and cut associated GHG emissions. A central goal is to enable farmers to benefit financially from lower-emission practices through carbon credits based on verified, measurable emission reductions. Fager will support farmers in adopting qualifying practices and build the data and operational systems required to quantify and certify those reductions. Both companies plan to evaluate results from Thailand before exploring expansion into other parts of Asia, with the longer-term aim of establishing a replicable, national-scale framework for low-emission farming and agricultural decarbonization across the region.
