Blueberry farming (Hokkaido)
Wakame seaweed cultivation and processing (Awaji Island)One of our priority activities in the food sector is the "Initiatives in the upstream area."
In Hokkaido's Yoichi Town, a blueberry cultivation business using large-scale Canadian cultivation techniques such as mechanical harvesting is conducted on a farm of about 200,000 square meters, one of the largest in Japan. On Awaji Island, we collaborate with local fishing cooperatives and processors to conduct businesses ranging from seaweed seedling and cultivating to processing.
The Life Industry Division is expanding two of its business areas: the food business, which handles agricultural and marine products, and the life science business, which mainly deals in materials for pharmaceuticals and consumer goods, such as insect repellents and insecticides, daily goods, and cosmetics.
Our life science business offers total solutions ranging from the manufacturing of ingredients for pharmaceutical products and cosmetics overseas, procurement of raw materials for pharmaceutical products and equipment and materials for regenerative medicine, custom synthesis, and pharmaceutical logistics services, to material procurement, planning and development, and contract manufacturing for household goods.
In the food business, we not only import and sell safe and reliable agricultural and marine products from around the world, but also grow blueberries, cultivate wakame seaweed, and process marine products in Japan, and engage in agricultural and marine product processing in Vietnam. Our business covers a wide area from upstream to downstream.
In addition, we are striving to conduct trilateral business, such as marketing Japanese food products like shrimp tempura, nori seaweed, wasabi, and frozen sushi and frozen desserts to overseas markets, along with marketing frozen fruits and vegetables grown in North and South America to the Asian market.
