CBN along with his team of 18 delegates began his 4-day Japan visit today in a bid to attract investments for Andhra Pradesh.

On the first-day of his tour, he met Naoki Kobayashi, managing director and general manager for Agriculture Machinery & Equipment Business, Yanmar.
Mr Naoki gave a presentation on how to increase the yield of rice per acre, land preparation, nursery and planting, crop management and harvesting. He told the Chief Minister that these techniques, if used effectively, would give 50% more profit to the farmers.

CBN extended an invitation to Yanmar to explore opportunities in AP and help the state in making agriculture profitable and sustainable. He also invited the Yanmar Group to set up a manufacturing facility in the state. He added that manufacturing in Andhra Pradesh would enable an access to all the markets in Asia because of the ports. “Our single-window clearance, rapid approvals and 24X7 power are the attractive points,” he said.

In his second meeting for the day, the Chief Minister met Shihenobu Nagamori, Chairman of NIDEC. During his conversation with the Chief Minister, Mr Nagamori said that it is difficult to do business with India because of red tape and slow processing.

CBN replied saying India has changed, both at the Centre and State level and it will get better in a few years. CBN assured Mr Nagamori of NIDEC that “if you want to start a manufacturing unit in our state, we can give clearances in a week’s time. On the 8th day, you can start your process.” Mr. Nagamori informed the Chief Minister that once they start their operations in India, they could use it as a base for exports.

CBN also made a presentation on the investments opportunities in AP and the Japanese version of the film was screened before leaving for dinner hosted by NIDEC.
