From Suppliers to Users
The main products that we offer are various different types of grass hay that are imported from the North America and Australia.
Speaking of grass hay, many might have such an image that a herd of cattle/horses are grazing at ease in a green pasture. However, Japan currently imports about 2 million tons of the grass hay a year for forage use. Today grass hay, corn, and barley, the so-called forage crop of 30 million tons are imported to Japan for livestock feed. It can be said that imported forage crop play an important role in Japan with such a low ratio of local forage availability.
Cattle's feed are imported from the overseas. Then farmers produce and distribute meat, dairy products, and eggs to the market. These products are sold at stores, served at a household and eventually ingested into our bodies. Given the food chain, don't you think that animal feed is highly relevant with our daily life?
By striving to deliver our products that farmers (users) can feel safe to feed their cattle, we directly exchange information with overseas suppliers to increase the transparency of distribution route on a constant basis. We will be a channel between suppliers and users, and relay quality, safety, and trust.
