Message from the President

We sincerely thank everyone for their warm support and patronage.
We at NTT Green & Food, Inc. are an NTT Group company that primarily uses land-based aquaculture to produce and sell eco-friendly fish and shellfish and the microalgae used for their feed.

With the explosion in global population, geopolitical risks, and the COVID-19 pandemic, people are fiercely competing for food and resources, which has caused rapid price increases.

On the other hand, Japan is facing many issues, such as a decline in the working population of the agriculture, forestry and fishing industries and an accelerated aging population, in addition to a decline in the food self-sufficiency rate. This trend is particularly evident in the fishing industry, where Japan, once the world’s number one producer, has now fallen to eighth place, impacting regional economies.

Also, from the perspective of the global environment, problems such as climate change are worsening every year. Rising sea temperatures and other changes are also affecting the fishing industry, making it difficult to catch fish traditionally caught in coastal waters.

Can we maintain the current food supply ten years into the future? Will we be able to safely pass the baton on to the children of future generations? We want to solve these concerns and issues regarding food and the environment. We want to empower local communities by reviving local industries such as the fishing industry. In July 2023, under these principles and aspirations, we established a joint venture company with members of the NTT Group and Regional Fish, a fisheries operator originating from Kyoto University.

NTT group companies possess expertise in technology to produce microalgae, which absorbs more CO₂ and is also feed for fish and shellfish, and optimal aquaculture management using ICT. Regional Fish has expertise in fish and shellfish breed improvement and complete aquaculture technology. We will combine the expertise of both companies to realize a circular society while fully taking advantage of the blessings of nature using technology. In doing so, we aim to contribute to solving the food and environmental issues of local committees, Japan, and, eventually, the world. We look forward to your continued support and encouragement.
