Export system and facility development.: Through the FY 2017 Project to Bolster Growing Regions, a facility to maintain freshness (SmartFresh) was established as a measure allowing products to withstand long hours of shipment.

PR activities overseas: We have basically focused on negotiating on-site in overseas markets and taken advantage of the expanded and prolonged opening of sales booths in response to demand for products other than apples. Examples include the start of sweet potato cultivation dedicated to exports, and on-site production and sales of apple pies made from low quality apples.

Characteristics and strengths of businesses (producers): The only apple growing region in Japan meeting the requirements for export regulations in North America (Canada and the U.S.). Furthermore, the region registers producers in sorting products for export and packacking them in a way that allows differentiation, to handle the regulations and quarantine inspections of various countries. The region has been expanding exports as a pioneer in breaking into markets in new countries.
