Comments by Tsutomu Kagami
Over this time, our operating environment has changed rapidly. We face major forces: global environmental challenges, geopolitical risks, and the rise of new technologies such as genomics and AI. Precisely because of these constant changes, we must reaffirm the significance and role of our company and continue to manage with consistency.
We will build on our strong foundation of a stable agricultural and horticultural business that delivers health and happiness worldwide since our founding. I have always believed that my mission is to create and provide something innovative that people and societies all over the world wish to have, even if they do not yet exist. This is Sakata’s identity.
We are currently formulating our next long-term business plan. I intend to lead the way, honoring our DNA, reading the times, and steering flexibly and dynamically. I look forward to enhancing our corporate value as one team of employees and management.
