A bridge connecting the world and the dining table.<\/h2>\r\n

\r\n

UNION's greatest strength is our ability to work closely with overseas production areas to meet the needs of our customers by quickly delivering safe, high-quality fruits and vegetables verified by Japanese people with Japanese eyes and tastes.<\/p>\r\n

By carrying out consistent planning and coordination from purchasing to sales, based on our global fruit and vegetable procurement network, and our quality control and delivery systems, we have realized stable supply. By continuing to develop new markets, we have maintained superior levels in volume of fruit imports, especially citrus, for over 10 years.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

    Message from the President<\/h2>\r\n
    \r\n
    \r\n

    Since we were established in 1971 as a trading company specializing in imported fruits and vegetables, we have pursued our mission to deliver \"safe, fresh, and delicious\" fruits and vegetables for Japanese families' smiles and health by importing fruits and vegetables from all over the world.
    \r\nWe have reviewed our way of being, on the occasion of 50th anniversary of our company's establishment, and expressed our belief in our Management Philosophy too.
    \r\nWe will work hard to keep this Management Philosophy for our employees, which could support them.<\/p>\r\n

    Fruits and vegetables are one of the food which are very tasty with high nutrition that provide health and good mental. Of course, there are many good fruits and vegetables grown in Japan, but what we handle is imported from all over the world.
    \r\nWe provide the fruits and vegetables which are not grown in Japan. We offer the value, happiness, and richness which Japanese families have not experienced, and this is what we are proud of.<\/p>\r\n

    Now we look back over the past 50 years and consider what the next 50 years will be.
    \r\nAs a leading company for imported fruits and vegetables, we would like to play a role in creating a more prosperous society by growing the demand for and consumption of fruits and vegetables. Even though this is an extremely enormous theme and it might be difficult for us to achieve on our own, we will work on it because we believe that its realization will lead not only us but also those related to production, distribution, sales, and others, to a better future.
    \r\nIn order to contribute to creating a sustainable and better society through foods, we will keep managing flexibly with the following current trends.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
