Food Division
Message from the COO
- Executive Officer, COO, Food Division
- Daisuke Okada
The Food Division engages in the domestic and international trading of a comprehensive range of food products. One of the division’s particular strengths is raw materials, where it holds a leading market share as a grain trader with a lineup that includes wheat, corn and soybeans, as well as in coffee beans. Elsewhere, we are building a robust structure for the division in midstream and downstream sectors by strengthening our hand in the area of food distribution. Actions on this front include our investment in functional subsidiaries of AEON Co., Ltd., and a business partnership with SOTETSU ROSEN Co., Ltd.
In this way the division, through its involvement at every phase of food production, aims to supply safe food products and flexibly meet the needs of its diverse customers.
