Business Details
Operates a marine products wholesale business at the Yokohama Central Wholesale Market and the Kawasaki Central Wholesale Market Northern Market. The segment comprises two divisions, Fresh Fish and Frozen & Salted/Dried Products, selling to mass merchandisers, fresh fish specialty stores, mail-order businesses, and others. The company strengthens processing and sales of high-freshness products by utilizing the low-temperature processing and logistics facility "Nanbu Pescamercado" and the food processing facility "Nanbu Pescamercado II," both located in the Yokohama Southern Market. The main customer is Sotetsu Rosen Fresh Foods Co., Ltd. (sales to this customer in the current period: ¥3,484 million).
Recent Overview
Achieved higher sales and profit driven by increased sales at the food processing plant and higher volume in the Frozen \u0026 Salted/Dried Products division
In FY2026 (ending March 2026), net sales increased to ¥20,801 million (up 3.9% year on year), driven by increased sales at the food processing plant within the Yokohama Southern Market, among other factors. Operating profit increased substantially to ¥219 million (up 19.5% year on year), due to an increase in gross profit resulting from higher sales. The Fresh Fish division offset a decline in volume with higher unit prices, while the Frozen \u0026 Salted/Dried Products division expanded in both volume and value. Net sales to the main customer, Sotetsu Rosen Fresh Foods, expanded to ¥3,484 million (up 9.4% year on year).
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Increased sales due to the operation of the food processing facility (Nanbu Pescamercado II) within the Yokohama Southern Market
- Expansion of sales volume in the Frozen \u0026 Salted/Dried Products division (handling volume up 10.1% year on year in the current period)
- Expansion of sales channels to customers outside the market, such as mass merchandisers and mail-order businesses
- Maintaining and expanding Fresh Fish division sales by leveraging higher unit prices amid rising fish prices
- Maintaining competitive advantage through active sales of high-freshness products
Risks
- Risk of declining sales to main customers due to consolidation and closure of mass merchandiser stores
- Rising procurement costs and difficulty in sourcing products due to changes in the marine environment and poor catches
- Rising costs of imported marine products and increased costs due to yen depreciation
- Profit pressure from continued increases in logistics and labor costs
- Structural decline in sales to main customers (intermediate wholesalers)
