As part of the resulting organizational changes, we have newly established a Sales Support Office to take responsibility for these functions.

As part of our management policy, we aim to shift from a conventional receiving company to a sales company with a broad range of functions. While continuing to strengthen collaboration with shippers, we will incorporate a market-in perspective to an even greater extent by providing products and services that meet buyers’ requirements.」

「We aim to expand our business while fulfilling our responsibility as a fresh-food wholesaler connecting producers and shippers with consumers. We will do so by improving logistics efficiency through collaboration among group companies and the use of the Toyosu refrigerated warehouse, expanding commercial flows by deepening collaboration with group operating companies and existing business partners through the order-processing functions of our Sales Promotion Department, which were expanded in April 2020, and enhancing information flows through further use of IT.」

「Under these conditions, our group struggled with procurement and sales at Toyosu Market owing to lower volumes handled as a result of poor catches of saury and autumn salmon, among other species, and lower distribution volumes of frozen seafood. As a result, net sales were ¥34,298 million, compared with net sales of ¥37,557 million in the same period of the previous year.」

「Our group will make full use of the facilities at the new market, provide producers and shippers with faster and more accurate feedback on the needs of consumers and end users than ever before, and work to ensure timely procurement and sales. Through the use of the newly established multifunctional refrigerated warehouse and expanded processing capacity in consumer markets, we aim to enhance our functions as a wholesale company.」

「As sourcing and sales channels become more diverse, we recognize that timely transactions that accurately capture business opportunities are increasingly necessary. It is essential to accurately identify consumer needs and promptly provide that information to producers and shippers, while also promptly providing sales destinations with information on landings and other developments at production areas. By conducting timely and flexible sales activities, we aim to build the trust of business partners and expand transaction volumes.」
