Mitsui & Co. Agri Foods Ltd.
also actively undertakes offshore trading.
Offshore trading involves a third-party country that is not directly importing or
exporting goods but purchases the goods from an overseas supplier and concludes
a contract for selling the goods with an importer. The goods are directly exported
from an overseas party to an overseas importer. In recent years, many Japanese
companies have engaged in local production, and demand for offshore trade is
growing more and more. An advantage of offshore trade is stable transportation at a
low cost between where items are loaded and where they are delivered. This
business style gives us new business opportunities.
