“Agri Foods FUKUI” was established to deliver the safe and healthy agricultural products we produce to consumers. Most producers entrust the sale of their produce to wholesalers and have no idea how their products will be sold. For example, we do not know if our rice, produced with reduced pesticides, is mixed with rice produced with more pesticides before it is sold. That is why we created the “Agri Foods Fukui” system to deliver safe and healthy rice produced responsibly by “Agricultural Producers’ Cooperative Corporation Ohkawa Aguri” to consumers. We wanted to handle the entire process of delivering it ourselves because we wanted to confidently say that our rice is safe and delicious enough to eat without worry. We believe that knowing the face of the producer reassures consumers as well.

We also hope to create a society where young people can have dreams and hopes in farming through our company’s agricultural activities. Farming is labor-intensive and time-consuming, but if one works hard at it, one will reap the fruits of their labor. Aguri Foods FUKUI is working to create and improve agricultural systems to spread the fascination and fun of agriculture.

Soil has its unique, natural powers. By cultivating the soil in a way that allows it to exert its powers, we can harvest various delicious crops. Soil preparation is a laborious process; there are no visible changes in the soil. However, if we continue to prepare the soil, it will improve, and we will be able to grow rice plants resistant to disease, pests, and weather elements. The same is true for our company. By steadily cultivating the company’s environment so that our workers can demonstrate their natural talents, we will see an increase in the number of people enthusiastic about their work, and we will reap the fruits of their labor. We will continue to earnestly engage in agriculture so that it will become an attractive industry and bear great fruits.
