Our Business
Aiming for Environmentally Friendly Agriculture
Vegetable Production Business
With the great expansion of food diversification, the demand for vegetables for processing and commercial use has increased, and agriculture has been faced with the challenge of meeting the demand.
As demand is not limited to the domestic market, but exports to foreign countries are increasing year after year, we have turned our attention to the production of crops that can satisfy both quality and production efficiency. At Yasai no Oukoku, we take advantage of the mild climate throughout the year to produce mainly leafy vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, and leaf lettuce, as well as sweet potatoes such as Beniharuka and Kogane Sengan.
While producing the core crops as our mainstay, we are also conducting experimental cultivation and basic research on fruit trees and vegetables to find crops that suit the ever-changing climate and soil.

The shape of demand for vegetables is constantly changing with the shift to individual meals and home-cooked meals.

Generally speaking, vegetables for processing use are large and heavy, while vegetables for produce use are beautiful to look at and well-packed, but we sell vegetables that meet the different standards of each customer.
