MESSAGE
Since our establishment in 1958, we have built “trust” by providing value to our customers as a specialized trading company, and leveraging the comprehensive strengths of the Mitsui & Co. group and its global procurement capabilities. In July 2022, our Marine Products Division was spun off into Mitsui & Co. Seafoods, Ltd., and we have been reborn as a trading company specializing in agricultural products, such as rice, soybeans, peanuts, and other beans and nuts. As a Mitsui & Co. group company specializing in agricultural products, we will pursue a deeper sense of unity with Mitsui & Co. and aim for speedy business development.
The situation surrounding the world has become increasingly uncertain, such as the occurrence of environmental problems on a global scale, the impact of industrial responses to such problems in various industries, and the global epidemics and geopolitical risks that have occurred and emerged in recent years. Even in Japan, the environment surrounding food is becoming more and more severe due to the declining birthrate and aging population, the accelerating trend toward the nuclear family as the norm, and a decrease in the number of agricultural workers. Under these circumstances, the need for a safe, secure, and stable supply of sustainable food is growing ever stronger, and we are working as a group of product professionals to meet the true needs of all stakeholders, including our business partners, local communities, and employees, by leveraging the comprehensive strengths and networks of the Mitsui & Co. group.
We will also contribute to the stability and development of society by fostering proactive human resources capable of engaging in these activities with sincerity, integrity, and passion. We look forward to your continued understanding of, and support for, our activities.
