At Ark Farm, we have a variety of animals, but the main thing is raising pigs for pork production. A system has been established to ship more than 70,000 pigs to the market each year.
Meanwhile, feed is being fed to the pigs. Up until now, we have been feeding all of our animals with feed purchased from external feed manufacturers, but we have now decided to start a feed manufacturing business, which has been our long-cherished desire.
The facility is as shown in the photo.
The factory will purchase raw materials in-house and perform all processes from crushing to compounding. In fact, freshness is the key to feed as well. By allowing the pigs to eat feed that is produced daily and in the freshest possible condition, the happiness of the pigs will naturally increase. (It's just like freshly cooked rice is delicious lol) We can create a system where we can feed freshly prepared feed to them.
Although you might think that we don't produce products from raw materials, we also produce grains such as wheat, and we use our own raw materials, as well as locally produced feed rice, to produce locally produced grains. The idea is to gradually focus on feed production that takes advantage of the farmland.
As problems such as fallow fields and abandoned farmlands are increasing in Japan, especially in rural areas, we hope that our business can contribute to society through this business, even in the slightest way, so that it can become the foundation for the revival of Japanese agriculture in the future. I strongly believe that.
