- Reforming Fresh Produce Distribution for the Bountiful Future
- We started our business in 2001 from Kyoto, with the aim of structurally reforming fresh produce distribution, and with a vision of "creating a bountiful future and providing valuable services through the distribution of fruits and vegetables."
Since then, we have been working to optimize the whole value chain from production to distribution and sales, and are taking on the challenge of building a completely new fresh produce distribution system that will lead to a bountiful future.
Today, as the social environment changes rapidly on a global scale, the importance of food security is being reaffirmed in Japan, and efficiency in agricultural production and fresh produce distribution is becoming an important issue to solve.
Under such circumstances, we see the changes in the environment as an opportunity, and are expanding our business by creating new distribution services and maximizing the value provided to customers, by the means such as cooperation with the farmers, building a logistics network, and development of our vegetable brands.
In order to achieve these goals, we will promote digitalization, structural reform to accommodate diversity, environmental measures to reduce food loss and waste in the value chain, and execute other growth strategies that balance economic and social benefits to establish a competitive advantage.
Through our business activities, we will strive to contribute to society by building a distribution system to ensure safe and secure food for all people and achieving a bountiful future. - Earthside Co., Ltd.
