Recent Overview
Interim revenue of ¥2,034 million and segment profit of ¥650 million, up year on year in both revenue and profit
In H1 FY2026 (ending November 2026) (December 2025–May 2026), the segment achieved revenue of ¥2,034 million (up 2.9% year on year) and segment profit of ¥650 million (up 6.1% year on year). The Seisen MD System and the local vegetable procurement support service were the main drivers, while in the Fresh Produce Sales Floor Construction Support Business, a new operating subsidiary (Marche Plus Co., Ltd.) was established and operations transferred to it, but upfront investment costs weighed on profit due to difficulties in coordination with partner companies. Relationship-building with drugstores is progressing.

- Expansion of the number of stores adopting the service and expansion into drugstore and food retail formats following the establishment of the operating subsidiary in the Fresh Produce Sales Floor Construction Support Business
- New customer acquisition and expanded adoption among existing customers in the local vegetable procurement support service
