「For food ingredients imported mainly from overseas, there is a risk that procurement may become difficult if imports from affected countries are suspended due to outbreaks of epidemics such as avian influenza, BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy), and foot-and-mouth disease. Poor harvests of rice, vegetables, grains, and other products caused by extreme weather, cold summers, and other adverse weather conditions may disrupt the balance between supply and demand, creating risks including higher prices and difficulty procuring the products themselves.」
The Group specifically identifies import suspensions due to epidemics and procurement difficulties and higher prices resulting from poor harvests caused by extreme weather as risks.
