The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Strawberry cultivation in Vietnam is currently limited to the winter season. The parties aim to achieve summer production using an everbearing variety and enable year-round supply. As it will take several years before the trial cultivation produces results, the impact on the current fiscal year's earnings is expected to be minor.
