Recent Overview
The centralized headquarters procurement system contributed to stabilizing procurement costs, driving a substantial profit increase of 145.8% year on year.
In FY2026 (ending March 2026), Fruits & Vegetables Business segment sales reached a record ¥60,977 million (up 5.4% year on year), and segment profit (ordinary income) reached a record ¥2,034 million (up ¥1,206 million, or 145.8%, year on year). The centralized headquarters procurement system introduced this fiscal year contributed to stringent management of procurement costs and inventory and reduced disposal losses, while optimization of staffing and logistics also contributed to more efficient field operations. Although some items were affected by price surges due to extreme heat, the impact was appropriately managed.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Steady growth in food service demand and increased transaction volume driven by expanding inbound consumption
- Rising demand for labor-saving commercial-use Cut Vegetables & Vacuum-Heated Vegetables amid labor shortages
- Strengthened procurement cost management and reduced disposal losses through the established centralized headquarters procurement system
- Expansion of the customer base (optimizing the balance of business types and developing new customers)
- Expansion of the BtoC business (Meal Kits) centered on Rakusai Co., Ltd.
- Strengthened upstream supply chain through the newly consolidated agricultural corporation Delica Farm Co., Ltd.
Risks
- Risk of sharp increases in vegetable procurement prices due to unusual weather and climate change (price surges occurred for some items due to extreme heat in FY2026 (ending March 2026) as well)
- High dependence on imported vegetables, creating risk of rising procurement costs due to yen depreciation and geopolitical risk
- Risk of demand slowdown as chronic labor shortages and rising prices in the food service industry heighten consumer thrift consciousness
- Risk of profit pressure from continued increases in labor and logistics costs
- Risk from regulatory and policy changes, including trends in review of the consumption tax rate on foodstuffs
