Mitsui & Co. Retail Trading Ltd. was established on April1, 2020, by consolidating the export and import services, human resources, and knowledge of the retail business sector of Mitsui & Co. Since the establishment of the company, we have put our efforts into further improving our services of procuring foods and food materials from all over the world and delivering those to food services, retailers, and food manufacturers, while leveraging Mitsui & Co. group's comprehensive strengths and global networks.
The environment surrounding us has been impacted by growing global uncertainty, such as the spread of infectious diseases, climate change, and increased geopolitical risks. Meanwhile, in the food-related areas, in addition to the heightened importance of safety, reliability, and health, further changes in the market are expected. For example, with diversification of lifestyles, such as a shift toward teleworking and an increase in the number of single occupancy households and double-income households, more convenient and easier ways of eating will be pursued, and demand for eating-out and ready-made meals is expected to further increase.
As professionals who continue providing and implementing specific measures and solutions in response to continuous changes and new issues, we aim to “make” new goods and services and “connect” companies and countries around the world. By doing so, we will brush up and strengthen our capabilities and thereby fulfill our mission as a food-related company.
Through the realization of our mission, we will contribute to the development of a sustainable society and the prosperous lives of people.
