Pre-sale of fruit tree ownership for the year
Farmers in the suburban area of Tokyo, Japan, have collaborated with urban supermarkets to launch a "pre-sale of fruit tree ownership for the year" campaign. For example, an apple tree is priced at 2,500 yen, and the buyer gains ownership of all the produce from that tree for the year. The buyer can visit the orchard anytime to pick apples. If the buyer does not wish to go to the countryside, the farmers can pick, package, and deliver the apples to the buyer's home; however, the buyer must pay additional labor and transportation fees. Of course, the farmers guarantee the quantity and quality of the fruit.
Flowers made into art pieces
The variety-rich and uniquely designed "artistic flowers" have become a popular type of flower in Japan, with their market demand surging significantly.
"Artistic flowers" refer to a change in the traditional way of selling flowers, where flowers are decorated according to various special needs, making them more personalized and beautiful. These artistic processes include enhancing fragrance, changing colors, adding decorations, or adorning them with silk ribbons, etc., and then packaging them in specially made baskets or gift boxes. The Japanese highly value the quality and uniqueness of flowers. Even if the price is high, many people will still buy them if they like them, which brings significant profits to floriculturists, specialized flower sellers, and processors.
Purchase of ownership of chickens and ducks
Customers can purchase the ownership of chickens and ducks when they are young and let poultry farmers raise them on their behalf. Once the poultry matures and fattens up, the farmers will slaughter, clean them, and deliver them to the customer's home. This not only provides convenience to customers but also ensures that the poultry farmers have buyers for their chickens and ducks from a young age, thus eliminating concerns about sales.
Books that grow fruits and vegetables
In various malls and bookstores across Japan, "fruit and vegetable books" are available for sale. There are numerous varieties such as "tomato books," "cucumber books," and "eggplant books." These products, which resemble books, are packaged in waterproof paper and contain materials like stone wool, artificial fertilizer, and seeds inside. After purchasing, people can follow the attached planting instructions and simply water the book daily to grow cucumbers as thick as fingers, tomatoes like bullets, and eggplants as big as fists. Typically, a "tomato book" can produce 150-200 "miniature fruits" after cultivation, while a "cucumber book" can yield 50-70 "miniature cucumbers"... Due to their dual functionality for both观赏 (appreciation) and consumption, farmers are eager to sell these items to increase their income.
