Farmers in Nanning to Work in Japan

The first group of farmers from Nanning, capital city of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous region, located in south China, will go to Japan soon for work.

The farmers from Guangxi will primarily plant vegetables in plastic sheet-covered sheds, with a monthly wage of 60,000 Japanese yen (about 4,000 yuan).

As a country with the serious aging problem, Japan has gradually relaxed the policy on labor imports. Now it badly needs laborers in construction and food processing industries.
