Message from the President
Ibusuki Yasai no Okoku" has established agriculture as a business, but there were hardships at the start of the business.
The story of "Ibusuki Yasai no Oukoku" is about a trio of inexperienced farmers, led by the representative, Ryoma Yoshimoto, his younger brother, Yoshihisa Yoshimoto, and his junior, Yuki Tanohata, who worked hard, covered in sweat and dirt, believing in their dreams and success.
Our farming business began by chance, but it is with the support of many people, including employees, senior farmers, and customers, that the Kingdom has been able to continue to grow.
We want our customers all over Japan to enjoy safe, secure, and delicious vegetables. With this single-minded focus, we have produced high quality vegetables and accumulated a variety of know-how. We believe that it is our mission to return these resources to like-minded farmers.
We are now in the process of maturing as a company, with new goals such as expanding overseas and strengthening sales.
We would like to continue to grow our business with passion and challenge so that the world will be able to enjoy safe and healthy Japanese vegetables in the future.

GLOBAL GAP
Complying with GAP standards and disclosing information as proof of safety and security
What is Global GAP?
GAP stands for "Good Agricultural Practice," and it is beginning to spread around the world as a standard that guarantees safety and security.
From the perspective of protecting the safety and security of food and people, GAP is gradually becoming more widespread at production sites.
GAP is a system that certifies that all production processes, including not only the quality of agricultural products but also the use of agricultural chemicals, the environment such as soil and water quality, and the safety of farm workers, are in compliance with certain standards after a third party examines them.

GAP is a system that certifies that all production processes, including not only the quality of agricultural products but also the use of agricultural chemicals, the environment such as soil and water quality, and the safety of farm workers, are in compliance with certain standards after a third party examines them.
Our Approach
Ibusuki Yasai no Oukoku acquired Global GAP certification in 2020 (certification of "agricultural products with an international safety management evaluation" that is widespread in 124 countries, mainly in Europe).
In compliance with Global GAP certification, the establishment of appropriate internal controls, material management, and human resource development have improved the level of quality management and realized the production of uniform vegetables required for commercial use.
By adhering to strict international standards, we are now able to ship vegetables at the high level required for export.

Benefits to Farm Producers

- Reliable farms
- Stabilization of transactions
Examples of GAP initiatives
1.Documentation of operations
Clarification of hazardous areas in farm work
Passing on skills
2.Organizing
Inventory reduction
Improvement of work efficiency
Our strength
We are honest in our manufacturing
Stable prices and stable supply, unaffected by market prices
We deal directly with our customers.
We do not go through a market where vegetables are sold at auction or on a negotiated basis, but rather we make a contract on the price of delivery at the beginning.
When determining the price, if the price is too low and we cannot make a profit, we honestly tell the customer that we cannot make a profit.
We do not ask for an unreasonable price increase, only an increase in the actual cost.

There is a difference in enthusiasm and determination.
We always try to find the best cultivation method for each variety and how delicious the vegetables can be in season.
We want our customers to enjoy safe and delicious vegetables.
We must never let them run out." We put our lives on the line every day to grow vegetables.
That is how proud and responsible we are of our vegetable production.

Fertilizer design to improve the soil to suit the crop and environment
The soil in the Ibusuki area is basically black-bok soil suitable for agriculture, sandy and gravelly soil derived from Mt.
Ibusuki Yasai no Oukoku, which has fields in various locations within the area, needed to create soil tailored to vegetable production in each field in order to ensure stable production in terms of both quantity and quality under such an environment.
We diagnosed the soil and developed our own fertilizer formulas. We established a fertilizer application method that complements the roles of organic and chemical fertilizers and their respective advantages and disadvantages. The soil for vegetables was created while controlling nitrate nitrogen in the soil. We are also particular about high-quality compost and organic fertilizers, and use our own organic fertilizer made from a mixture of rice bran and shochu (distilled spirit).
With this in mind, Ibusuki Yasai no Okoku is constantly monitoring and reviewing the condition of the land, aiming to create soil that will lead to higher quality production.
