Progress of sustainable agriculture
Based on our corporate philosophy of “harnessing nature’s gifts,” which has been our desire since our establishment, we deliver products focused on natural ingredients such as potatoes. Agriculture must always be soundly managed. However, problems such as declining harvests and diminishing quality resulting from climate change and labor shortages have been arising, so the sustainability of agriculture is threatened. The Calbee Group continues to work on improving productivity by helping to sustain and stimulate agriculture in order to expand consumption and stabilize production and procurement of domestic-grown potatoes, our main ingredient. By being deeply involved in agriculture, we are helping to preserve natural capital so that we can harness nature’s gifts.
