Creating a future and society where people can live actively through organic produce

We are an organic farmers' association based in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. We are developing overseas markets to promote to the world the organic agricultural products grown in Japan.

Therefore, we are looking for people who will promote the development of new markets and be in charge of business discussions, negotiations, and trade practices. Ideal candidates will have communication skills to negotiate tenaciously with overseas counterparts who have different business practices and will possess N2 or higher Japanese language skills and business level or higher English language skills.

After joining, new hires will be primarily responsible for creating brochures for overseas customers and dealing with such customers when English is required (e.g. for inquiries from overseas, online exhibitions). We work in cooperation with other team members, so even inexperienced workers can work in a comfortable environment. Eventually, we expect new hires to secure new export destinations and to lead market development operations.

If you are interested in organic produce, why not develop your career with us? Through the work for which new hires are responsible, they are able to learn specialized knowledge about organic agricultural products, as well as business knowledge such as marketing, organization, and more.

Business Content

Founded in 1984, our association is the largest organic farmers' organization in Japan. Through organic agriculture, our mission is to promote a way of life and living that is in harmony with the natural ecosystem.

Our core business is the domestic wholesaling of organic agricultural products shipped to urban areas such as Kanto and Kansai. These products are grown by 160 farmers affiliated with our association and by three directly managed farms, and they amount to more than 100 varieties of vegetables and other products each year. In addition to wholesaling, the vegetables produced are sold and offered at retail stores and restaurants operated within Kagoshima City, as well as to customers throughout Japan via our own website and e-commerce site. We also make and sell products processed using oddly shaped (non-standard) produce.

Our overseas business exports agricultural products and processed foods to nine countries, mainly in Asia, but also in the Middle East and Europe. In the future, we will further focus on developing overseas markets and promoting our agricultural products to more countries. We also aim to teach cultivation techniques and management methods to developing countries, as well as to create production bases where organic produce can be grown in all regions of the world.
