「Higher costs for artificial feed are expected as a result of large-scale rearing, and we will continue efforts toward commercialization to secure mulberry leaves and reduce the cost of artificial feed.」
Continues to address higher feed costs associated with the increase in the number of silkworms being raised, as well as the challenges of securing mulberry leaves and reducing artificial-feed costs. - FY2019RestatedAnnual report
「In addition, the number of genetically modified silkworms that must be raised to support the increasing number of research and development projects and the production of commercialized products, Laminin and Neosilk®-Human Collagen I, is expected to increase dramatically, resulting in higher costs for artificial feed due to large-scale rearing. To address this issue, we will continue efforts toward commercialization to secure mulberry leaves and reduce the cost of artificial feed.」
Anticipates higher artificial-feed costs as the number of silkworms being raised increases and continues efforts to secure mulberry leaves and reduce feed costs. - FY2017RestatedAnnual report
「In addition, the number of genetically modified silkworms that must be raised to support the increasing number of research and development projects and the production of commercialized products, Laminin and Neosilk®-Human Collagen I, is expected to increase dramatically, resulting in higher costs for artificial feed due to large-scale rearing.」
In addition to the risk of disruption to sericulture technology and feed supplies, identifies rising artificial-feed costs associated with the increase in the number of silkworms being raised as an issue. - FY2016First statedAnnual report
「The decline of Japan's sericulture industry and the aging of sericulture farmers have made succession increasingly difficult. In addition, uncertainty remains as to whether the supply infrastructure for materials required for sericulture, including silkworm feed, can remain stable over the long term under these conditions. If these supplies are disrupted, it may become difficult to continue the business.」
Identifies the decline and aging of the sericulture industry and the supply infrastructure for feed and other materials as business continuity risks.
