Business Activities

Fresh Food Business

The Fresh Food business mainly offers our private brand bananas, Frescana bananas grown in the Philippines that we developed in collaboration with ANA Trading and Tanabe Farm bananas grown in Ecuador (South America). Conducting complete in-house management from production to sales enables us to deliver fresh, safe bananas with total transparency that extends to providing photos of the farmers.
We import unripe green bananas and then conduct ripening in Japan to give them that familiar yellow color. During the ripening process, we always use visual inspections to confirm maturity and quality. Delivering bananas in their best condition requires product knowledge and an awareness of conditions at the production site. Our high quality is supported by the knowledge of our experienced staff.

We mainly sell to major supermarkets, convenience stores, and farmer’s markets around the country. Our banana sales account for a 11% share of the domestic market.
We also handle avocados,kiwi fruit, pineapples and other tropical fruits and vegetables.

In California, USA, we have long-standing distributor agreements with Grower Direct Nut Co. (walnuts) and Mariani Packing Company, Inc. (prunes). By providing customer feedback to our local offices, we are able to supply products that achieve the high Japanese standard of quality.

As a food trading company with strong ties to our production sites, we launched the walnut and prune farm investment project ANA Farm in California, USA.
