Established in 1979, SFC Inc. operates as a specialized trading company within the Japanese food sector, focusing on the procurement and distribution of agricultural products. The firm is headquartered in Tokyo and is currently led by President Yukihiko Matsuo. SFC's business model is anchored in a dual-sourcing strategy that combines domestic production with international imports to ensure a stable, year-round supply of produce.
The company's core operations involve the wholesale of fresh vegetables, fruits, and processed food ingredients. Domestically, SFC has cultivated a robust network of contract farms spanning from Hokkaido to Kagoshima. This direct partnership model allows for deep involvement in the production process, from seeding to harvest, ensuring traceability and a consistent supply of produce where the producers are known. For its international operations, the firm collaborates with long-standing, reputable suppliers to import vegetables and fruits, maintaining the same standards of safety and quality as its domestic products. Revenue is generated through the sale of these agricultural goods to other businesses within the food industry, with a corporate mission centered on delivering safe, reliable food to the end consumer.
SFC provides a diverse range of products categorized into domestic vegetables, imported fruits and vegetables, and processed food items. To support its logistical and processing needs, the company operates a dedicated facility in Koga, Ibaraki, which is equipped with a 200-tsubo (approximately 660 square meters) factory and a 70-tsubo (approximately 231 square meters) cold storage warehouse. Looking toward the future, the firm has stated its intention to explore the application of AI in the agricultural field and is actively involved in creating an environment to nurture the next generation of agricultural professionals.
