Olive Business
Objectives
As a company that aspires to develop business closely connected to the local community, we will contribute to society by building a new business model by taking on the challenge of a sixth-tier industry with an eye to the whole country and even overseas, in order to contribute to the further development of Kyushu's primary industry through "production (primary)," "processing (secondary)," and "distribution and sales (tertiary)" of safe and secure food. We will contribute to society by building a new business model.
In October 2011, an olive oil mill was completed in the Amakusa Olive Orchard. The Italian-made olive mill is now able to produce olive oil.
In July 2014, Amakusa Olive Garden began operations as Japan's first olive harvest experience farm, integrating production, processing, sales, and tourism.Thanks to your support, 82,000 people have visited the Orchard so far, making it a place where people can learn about the appeal of olives and a new tourist spot in Amakusa.
