Technology Development for High-Brown-Rice-Content Bread Selected for SBIR Funding

「Advertising investment is expected to contribute to future performance by maintaining a high retention rate, while research and development investment is scheduled to be recovered as non-operating income in the form of subsidies in the following fiscal year.」

「Under this project, we will receive a subsidy of up to ¥1.87 billion and, through March 2028, work on the basic and applied technology development of nutritionally balanced bread containing a high proportion of brown rice flour, using biotechnology, molecular engineering, digital technologies and other methods, with the aim of further improving flavor, texture and manufacturing efficiency.」

「In October 2024, we were selected under the second call for proposals for the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries' Small and Medium Enterprise Innovation Creation Promotion Program (SBIR) as a recipient of a subsidy for a project themed "Demonstration of manufacturing technologies that create new demand for grains." Under this project, we will receive a subsidy of up to ¥1.87 billion and, through March 2028, work on the basic and applied technology development of nutritionally balanced bread containing a high proportion of brown rice flour, using biotechnology, molecular engineering, digital technologies and other methods, with the aim of further improving flavor, texture and manufacturing efficiency.」
