History of JFA establishment
Jf Azuma-Cho (Sales Division) established another company, JFA (JAPAN FOOD ARTISAN), due to strict business operations based on the ordinance for internal sales of farmed fish and general fresh fish within the General Processing Division, Processing Division, and Fishing Cooperatives.By acquiring the brokerage right of the JFA, the purchase (wholesale business) of general fresh fish and farmed fish will be developed.
By acquiring the right to buy, it becomes a threat to existing brokers, and by making competitive bidding, fish prices will be raised.At the same time, it leads to price stability, and income improvement and management stability can be achieved.In addition, we are moving toward the establishment of a new company JFA with a view to cafeteria business and e-commerce business.
