About Our Work

Japan's meat industry

With about a tenfold increase in meat consumption per person, the diet of people in Japan has changed radically over the last 50 years.

Whether it is domestic or imported beef, pork, or poultry, today, quality meat raised with care by farmers is a vital component of people's lives. Providing our many customers with tasty products, HANEWFOODS GROUP is proud to contribute to happy and healthy lives.

Spurred on by the increase of meat consumption in Japan, the meat industry has seen significant development. The many businesses that exist alongside each other today include meat-specialized trading companies and distributors, producers of processed meat products, large and small retailers who directly sell meat to consumers, and restaurants. All these businesses are linked together as they conduct their daily operations with a single goal in mind: providing consumers with safe, quality meat that tastes good. Each business plays an indispensable role in delivering quality products that empower people's lives.
