An agricultural corporation jointly funded by rice farmers in Utsunomiya and Genki GDC has reached its first harvest, with Genki GDC purchasing the entire crop. The purchase price will be determined within preset upper and lower limits.
清原Genkiファーム, an agricultural corporation established jointly by rice farmers in Utsunomiya and Genki GDC, the operator of a sushi chain, has reached its first harvest. Genki GDC plans to purchase the entire crop going forward.
To address volatility in rice prices, an upper and lower limit will be set in advance, with the purchase price determined within that range.
清原Genkiファーム was established by Yamaguchi Tomozo (山口智三), who operates Tomozo Farm in Utsunomiya, and is intended to secure Genki GDC's rice procurement and ensure a stable supply.
Future developments of interest include supply stability and actual price levels after the full-crop purchase arrangement begins, as well as the potential for expansion into other regions.
