Standardization of Cultivation Techniques and Know-how and Human Resource Development

「Personnel expenses increased as the use of temporary staff and other arrangements expanded amid the growing difficulty of securing the personnel needed for peak production during busy periods.」

「In terms of earnings, personnel costs increased as the company made greater use of temporary staffing and other measures to secure the personnel needed during peak production periods, when securing such personnel has become increasingly difficult, in addition to higher raw material costs for seeds, growing media and other items.」

「The company actively secured personnel for research and development and new initiatives.」

「Personnel expenses increased as the use of temporary staff and other forms of employment to secure personnel rose amid increasingly challenging employment conditions each year.」

「Higher labor costs and other expenses in the production division accompanying increased production volumes」

「Manufacturing expenses, selling expenses and general and administrative expenses increased due to higher staffing levels to support expanded production and increased sales activities to expand revenue.」

「Cultivation technicians who have acquired techniques and know-how at our farms nationwide are beginning to develop, and there is currently no shortage. However, our Group's performance could be affected if further increases and expansion of production sites result in insufficient cultivation guidance, higher costs to improve techniques and know-how, difficulties in securing personnel, or higher costs of securing personnel.」

「Accordingly, we expect labor costs to increase as production volumes rise, but will work to improve profitability by reviewing production processes and improving operating efficiency.」

「Securing employees for production expansion has become increasingly important, and we expect difficult conditions, including employment terms, to continue. Accordingly, we expect labor costs to increase as production volumes rise, but will work to improve profitability by reviewing production processes and improving operating efficiency.」

「Increases in raw material and labor costs were contained as production systems and processes at each farm were reviewed, including assigning even experienced employees responsible for technical training to focus exclusively on grafting during peak periods, which improved production efficiency.」

「Labor costs were held in check as production systems at each farm were reviewed, including assigning even experienced employees responsible for technical training to focus exclusively on grafting during peak periods, which substantially improved production efficiency.」

「Labor costs were held in check as production systems at each farm were reviewed, including assigning even experienced employees responsible for technical training to focus exclusively on grafting during peak periods, which substantially improved production efficiency.」

「Personnel expenses increased due to the acceptance of foreign technical interns and other measures to secure labor for expanded production in response to higher orders from the second quarter onward.」

「Labor costs increased as a result of raising employment rates to secure personnel for expanding production capacity and promoting paid-leave use to improve employees' working conditions.」

「Fixed costs, including labor costs, increased as a result of securing employees to expand production capacity.」

「We will pursue proactive recruitment, including new graduates, and enhance our training and personnel evaluation systems to pass on techniques and know-how and develop the human resources needed to support growth.」

「There were no material changes in the status of the Group's research and development activities during the first nine months of the current consolidated fiscal year.」

「We will pursue proactive recruitment, including new graduates, and enhance our training and personnel evaluation systems. We will pass on techniques and know-how, ensure that employees understand the corporate purpose upheld by ベルグアース, centered on its management philosophy, and develop the human resources needed to support the Group's overall growth.」

「To help employees quickly acquire techniques and know-how, we place them in practical roles immediately after joining the Company, enabling them to accumulate extensive experience. We also seek synergies by assigning cultivation technicians to fixed product categories and seedling facilities and organizing teams centered on cultivation instructors to foster a sense of competition.」

「We are working to revise our basic technical manuals and prepare cultivation training curricula. To share the techniques and know-how of cultivation technicians, we are also reexamining past cultivation cases and repeatedly conducting cultivation tests to standardize seedling quality and specifications.」
