ISEKI Launches Three New Models for Flagship 'JAPAN Series' for Large-Scale Farmers

ISEKI & CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Matsuyama, Ehime; President: Gen Odagiri) announced the launch of new models in its flagship 'JAPAN Series'—the 'BJ Series' tractors, 'PJ Series' rice transplanters, and 'HJ Series' combines—aimed at solving labor shortages and productivity challenges in Japan's large-scale agricultural sector.
