Take on new challenges for the future as a food creator

The environment surrounding marine products produced in Japan is currently changing. The balance of the marine ecosystem has started to be disrupted due to overfishing, environmental changes, and marine pollution, which affects shellfish and fish that used to grow naturally in waters close to the region. In addition, the consumption of marine products has been increasing globally as the exchange of food cultures has expanded because of the globalization of the economy and the number of people who take an interest in marine products has increased.

Under such circumstances, we build our own network of information on the production areas in Japan and overseas not only to maintain the supply of food in the region but also to try to deliver Japanese ingredients to the world.

In June 2023, we established the Overseas Business Department. We have established new logistics routes in Japan and overseas.


01

Introducing Japanese food culture to the world

Since there has been a global increase in health consciousness, Japanese food gets increased attention in other countries. In response to such trends overseas, we have launched efforts to spread Japanese ingredients and food all over the world.

We are currently developing products for overseas markets. We have also started working on the creation of a comprehensive system from purchase to processing and export by utilizing the strengths of each Maruuo Suisan Group company.

In addition, we aim to acquire new customers by running a booth at trade shows in Japan and overseas so that we can spread the food culture created in Japan to the world.

02

Creation of an environment where ingredients can be grown

The effects of global warming have been threatening the Japanese seas. As a company engaged in the fishing industry, we continue our efforts to protect the Japanese seas in cooperation with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, local governments, and fisheries cooperatives so that we can preserve fisheries resources and operate sustainably for the next generation.

03

Development of new ingredients

Because of the effects of ocean warming, the harvest of marine products that used to appear on the dinner table has been decreasing. In response to such a situation, we strive to effectively utilize fish in nonstandard sizes and unused and underused fish that have not been familiar ingredients.

Maruuo Suisan is also working on the development of new ingredients and products by utilizing the networks and technologies that each group company has developed.
