Message from the President

The spread of the new coronavirus in Japan and around the world has caused a great deal of anxiety and confusion. The spread of infection has begun to cast a shadow on the global food supply system with some grain-producing countries introducing export restrictions.
Whether it is a coincidence or a historical inevitability, our company was in fact founded a century ago in a similar social environment.
Spring 1918 – two years before the founding of our company – and in the midst of World War I, was when a novel influenza outbreak, which became known as the Spanish Flu, occurred. In the turmoil of the war, the first wave erupted mainly in Europe and America, and in the fall came the second wave spreading to Asia, Africa, and the southern hemisphere, and then a third wave, resulting in a worldwide pandemic. It is said that one quarter to nearly half of the world’s population was infected, and 50 to 100 million people died.
By the spring of 1919, Japan could no longer escape without harm, and the death toll was reportedly 450,000. The rice riot that led to the founding of our company was an incident that also occurred in that social backdrop.
In that sense as well, we will revisit our founding philosophy and continue to put forth efforts for the new era.
And now, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is about to begin. The digital revolution will further evolve in the coming era, which will be completely different from the past. Envisioning the perfect future and without falling behind the changing times, our company will venture into the new era with a determination to contribute to society.
Atsuo Morita, President & CEO
