Farmind leads the Japanese produce industry with the nation’s largest processing capacity for bananas and other fruits. At least one third of the bananas in stores throughout Japan today were processed by Farmind.
This success is the result of customer trust earned through such accomplishments as the long shelf lives resulting from our quality control technologies, smooth ordering and delivery procedures, and stable prices achieved by holding down operating costs. We have responded appropriately to the growing interest in environmental and health issues in recent years by processing organic bananas and other organic agricultural products, for which demand is expanding.
* In 2014 we processed some 36%, or 24.4 million cases (approx. 840,000 tons) of the bananas imported into Japan (1 case = 13 kg).

Consumers have confirmed their hassle-free enjoyment of the full-fruit flavor of Farmind fresh-cut fruits. We have responded to changing lifestyles by treating customers who hesitate to purchase whole pineapples to refreshing bite-sized chunks of the sweet, fresh fruit, for example.
Our fresh-cut processing is not limited to imported fruits such as pineapples and kiwi fruits, moreover, but extends to domestic fruits such as strawberries and apples as well, which we cut fresh and deliver to the market in season. Our product offering ranges from cup products for eating in bite-sized pieces with individual meals to primary-processed products such as fruits with their peels removed.

Farmind’s partial packaging processing coordinates the most effective wrapping methods to suit various circumstances, such as the shapes and selling methods employed for fruits and vegetables. We add the finishing touches before shipping to accentuate the value of the fruits and vegetables. Skilled workers handle every stage of the work, from sorting of produce at arrival to processing and storage, and we have optimal systems in place for delivery of high-quality products after they leave the processing center. We have also acquired JAS certification for repacking of organic produce, moreover, for which demand has risen in recent years, further enhancing our preparedness to deliver safe products of the highest quality.
