“Dekopon” is a registered trademark owned by JA Kumamoto Fruit Federation. Harvest time is from December to March. After that, it will be stored and will be on the shelves until June. P-Plus is useful for keeping freshness in both regular and stored products. For P-Plus®, the amount of oxygen permeation is adjusted by methods such as applying micro-hole processing to the film. You can set the optimum film permeation amount according to the type, weight, distribution environment, etc. of fruits and vegetables inside. Based on a wealth of data on each fruit and vegetable, P-Plus® (Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd.)finely adjusts the size and number of micropores according to individual distribution conditions to control the optimum state for vegetables and fruits. Blessed with a warm climate and fertile land, Kumamoto Prefecture is said to be a treasure trove of a wide variety of fruits, especially citrus fruits. The fruit trees that spread out on the gently sloping land facing the coastline, which benefits from the sea breeze and the sun, are divine.
Sales of 2016 crops seem to have grown steadily from September through the end of the year, partly due to the flow of reconstruction assistance following the Kumamoto earthquakes. After the beginning of the year, the sales situation continued to be tough due to the late shipment of unshu mandarin oranges and the fact that the middle and late varieties were in the new year, but I heard that the sales of decopon in the latter half of the year went smoothly.
