In the lecture entitled "Integrated Logistics, a combined transportation network for fruits and vegetables", Mr. Abe explained the outline of Farmind group and its comprehensive fruits and vegetables platform. Also, as a solution to the problem of long-distance transportation brought by the upper limit of driver’s overtime work by the enforcement of the Work style reform law, he stated that Farmind group would promote long-distance transportation using Farmind 14 processing and distribution centers for vegetables and fruits nationwide as relay bases for distribution networks. In this promotion, Farmind group can realize sustainable long-distance transportation and deliver small lots to multiple delivery destinations. Through collecting and combining a variety of vegetables and fruits at the center, Farmind group also can realizes the improvement in loading ratio and "Integrated logistics" system that can reduce transportation costs.
