Green Shift

Basic Approach

Based on our mission statement “Farm for Tomorrow, Table for Tomorrow,” we are committed to the future of an abundant Earth. Oisix ra daichi will directly address environmental issues related to food and work to solve them through our business activities.
We are building sustainable supply chains by constantly evolving new methods to connect those who produce with those who consume.
