We have been developing and providing innovative, high-quality products and services mainly in the automotive industry field since our founding, based on our belief that we put the customer first. Thanks to the development of automobiles, the range of action of a person has expanded and has become a step toward creating a variety of enjoyments. What we should do next and what we can do for further "quality life". We will work on new businesses to develop value for enjoying life.
Current situation in Japan
In 2007, the number of elderly people in the total population exceeded 21% in Japan, and a super-aged society is coming. In an ultra-aged society, the risk of increased life-style sickness and increased medical care costs is increasing. In addition, the working population of agriculture has not stopped decreasing, and the aging population and the shortage of successors are becoming increasingly serious. As the number of abandoned tillage lands increases year by year, there are concerns about the maintenance of agriculture and the fear that vegetables will not be cropped and prices will increase due to abnormal weather and irregular weather conditions.
Lack of vegetable consumption by Japanese
According to the Cabinet Office statistics for FY2015, the daily vegetable consumption of Japanese people was 293. 6g. We are lacking about 60g, compared with the target of 350g*1 per day. Even if we look at the situation over the past decade, there has been no year when the target value has been reached, and there has been a slight increase or decrease, and the Japanese people have been in a long-term shortage of vegetables. It is urgent to realize a society in which vegetables can be consumed deliciously and efficiently. ※1 Vegetable consumption, which is set as a target value in Health Japan 21, an indicator for health development proposed by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare
Proposal of new agricultural features
We believe that "health," which is the source of life's pleasure, plays the most important role in quality life, and we have set "food," which is the foundation for this, as a research theme. We believe that companies with a wide range of human resources and knowledge and technologies should become new bearers of agriculture, and we need to resolve the shortage of bearers as much as possible. We will take advantage of the technologies we have cultivated in the manufacture of automotive parts since our founding, while also tackling the challenge of a new attractive agricultural nature of plant factories. Our idea of future farming is not just to produce vegetables that have been produced in our factories. From the viewpoint of food, we will continue to conduct daily research to deliver the great value of eating for as many people as possible, as well as the taste of vegetables, and to contribute to a future where people can live healthy.
Baby leaves cultivated in plant factories
What is a plant factory?
By controlling the light, air temperature, liquid fertilizer, and other environmental factors necessary for vegetable growth with a machine, this cultivation facility enables annual and planned stable production of vegetables.
Type of plant factory
There are two types: a semi-closed type factory using sunlight, "solar light utilization type", and a fully closed type factory using artificial light such as LEDs, "fully artificial light type". We have adopted a "fully artificial light type" plant factory, which is capable of the most stable cultivation.
Characteristics and merits of plant factories
The environment necessary for cultivation, light, climate, liquid fertilizer, etc. can be completely controlled. This allows for high harvest volumes and yields, planned production tailored to trends in consumption, and reduced waste food. Compared to conventional agriculture, it is also light work in a clean environment, which can contribute to the employment of the elderly.
What is a baby leaf?
This is a generic term for larval leaves harvested at leaf heights of about 10 to 15cm. The energy required for growth is brittly condensed, and it is a nutritionally rich vegetable.

Origin of the Pulizia Green
The baby leaf is a locally originated vegetable and has been traveling over the United States to Japan. Our baby leave is clean vegetables grown in hydroponic cultivation. I named it PuliziaGreen by multiplying an Italian Pulizia of the meaning of fresh with an English Green that imagines vegetables.
Characteristics of Pulizia Green
Since the plant is manufactured in a fully artificial light-type plant factory, the plant will be provided in the middle of the year without using any pesticides during the cultivation period. Because hydroponic cultivation is carried out in a clean environment, there are few bacteria and they last for a long time. They can also be taken out of the bag and eaten as is without washing.
Safety and security
The plant is cultivated under light from LEDs in a completely sealed clean environment, and no pesticides are used during the cultivation period. It is a vegetable that can be eaten safely and safely by all.
Freshness
Using clean water, the plant is cultivated while supplying liquid fertilizer (culture fluid) necessary for vegetable growth, and almost no human hands are touched from seeding to packing. Therefore, the resulting vegetables become fresh and clean products. After vegetables have been harvested and packed, we are working on storage management at low temperatures until they are arranged in stores. Saving at low temperatures helps maintain freshness and freshness.
Taste
It has a very easy-to-eat taste due to its low bitterness and bleeding that are unique to hydroponic cultivation. We would like people from a wide range of ages, including small children, to eat them. Mixing results in a milder taste, but the individual vegetables have a sturdier taste.
Texture
Because they are growing under the light of LEDs, they are barely exposed to ultraviolet rays, and their leaves are soft. You can eat it as a salad as it is raw. In addition, since it lasts long with good freshness, you can also enjoy the shaxia texture of the stem together with the softness of the leaves.
Lineup
All products can be eaten without washing.
Vitamin AK-rich
Vitamin A and Vitamin K are abundant packs.
In particular, we recommend mixing easy-to-eat cultivars to all people who worry about their daily health.
Vitamin CK-rich
This pack is rich in vitamin C and vitamin K and contains calcium.
It contains a variety of ripples and hot tastes, and is recommended for men who work busy day by day. Intake of calcium and vitamin C together increases the absorptivity of each other.
Vitamin K-rich folate
Folic acid and vitamin K are abundant packs.
Folic acid is a pleasant vitamin for women and is also recommended for those who tend to have anemia.
Standard pack
This is a variety of packs that are randomly placed in several varieties from the cultivars currently being cultivated.
There is a good balance of nutrients for the health of all families.
