Business Overview

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Production

In-house farm operation / Production guidance

In addition to cultivating apples for export in our farm, we also give production guidance to contracted farmers.
We have introduced “high-density planting method” that aims to improve the revenue compared to the mainstream method, round-leaf production, and we are conducting demonstration experiments with two types of Tsugaru / Shinano Gold in collaboration with the group company, Red Apple.

[What is High-density planting method?]

Cultivation method that seeks to improve profitability and efficiency, which has become the mainstream worldwide. It is based on an extremely simple technical system, and it is possible to secure 6 tons of rebound even if it is not a skilled engineer. Characteristically, the trees are arranged in a straight line, so that it is possible to work efficiently. Moreover, as there are many lower branches, there are many parts that can be done without a ladder, which leads to a reduction of physical stress. Since it can be manualized, it is easy for new farmers and elderly people to work on.

Material Import

We believe that the spread of innovative agricultural materials contributes to the development of Japanese agriculture, and we are working to import and spread overseas agricultural materials.

[Example] Belgian reflective sheet

Our company imported Japan's first reflective sheet from a major Belgian material company. This product is superior to the reflective sheet used in Japan in terms of durability, resistance to dirt, and labor saving of fixing the sheet, and is currently being introduced in apple farms in Aomori and Nagano prefectures.

Licensing Japanese Patented Varieties

We are bridging the gap between Japanese breeders and overseas producers who are interested in growing Japanese brand new patented varieties.
Although globally-preferred varieties such as Fuji apple & Shine Muscat are developed in Japan, their Plant Breeder’s Rights have never been registered outside of Japan due to several issues.
To build up a long-lasting sustainable relationship between Japanese agriculture and overseas producers, we not only license patented varieties but also help selling those fruits with marketing expertise that we accumulated since our foundation.
Anything you’re interested in regarding Japanese varieties, we’re more than happy to discuss how we can help.
