Vegetables closest to the sun: Taking advantage of the characteristics of the cool plateau, Chinese cabbage grown on the plateau in the frosty autumn season becomes softer and sweeter when it frosts, and the quality increases. A vacuum pre-cooling facility has been set up at the complete collection and shipping station, and the collected vegetables are immediately cooled and delivered to consumption areas nationwide while maintaining their freshness. It seems that several collection points are effectively using the three-dimensional storage facilities to disperse the harvesting labor of producers and respond to market closures. As for corrugated cardboard, staples have been abolished for all items since 2006, and built-in type and Igeta Seicha have been implemented. In addition, it seems that they are trying to reduce costs by using all items of “single cardboard” made of new materials. Until now, cardboard boxes have been made of two layers of paper to give them strength, but it seems that even one layer is the same as the strength of the past, even if the material is changed. In addition, it seems that it is water resistant to keep the vegetables fresher. As a basic production and sales policy for fiscal 2007, we will pursue sustainable and profitable agriculture (securing farmer’s take-home) starting from sales, promote production areas that can overcome competition with competing production areas and imported vegetables, and produce in line with consumption patterns and the needs of actual consumers. We are practicing aiming for a sales system.
The Nobeyama Plateau (belonging to Minamimaki Village, Minamisaku District, Nagano Prefecture) is over 1,300 m above sea level, and the plateau vegetables grown there have become a major brand nationwide under the name of “vegetables closest to the sun.” In the summer here, there are many sunny days, low rainfall, fog peculiar to the plateau, and a large temperature difference between day and night, so it seems to be ideal for growing vegetables. With this cool climate and the sunshine, the chinese cabbage is produced with a soft texture.
The Cold Chain described in cardboard refers to a method of distributing the product from the production area to the retail store while keeping it at a predetermined temperature (refrigerated / frozen). In order to maintain the quality and deliciousness of foods, etc., it is necessary to prevent the chain of management from being broken over the entire distribution (production area, wholesale market, retail and distribution connecting them), and for this reason, low temperature logistics and fresh supply chain management. It seems that it is also called. The history of the method is old, and it seems that it is said that frozen transportation started as a business in Japan in 1958. After a transportation company in Fukuoka Prefecture succeeded in commercializing frozen transportation, the Japanese government also promoted this business from around 1961. After technological advances have enabled precise temperature control within transport trucks, the transport area will expand dramatically.
