Fukuoka Central Wholesale Market Fruit and Vegetable Market (Vegefru Stadium)
In cooperation with branded products from various production areas in Kyushu, we have developed a technology to preserve freshness using CA containers, which are comparable to air freight, developed the Asian market in cooperation with related organizations, and are exporting to Asia and other overseas markets, taking advantage of the legal support, quality assurance through the cold chain and enhanced testing for pesticide residues to ensure safety and security, and the characteristics of the location closest to Asia.
The majority (84.4%) of wholesalers are enclosed, temperature-controlled wholesalers, which means that refrigerated produce is maintained at a constant temperature after it arrives at the market to preserve its freshness.
The Fukuoka Central Wholesale Market Fruit and Vegetable Market (Vegefru Stadium), which opened in February 2016, supplies fresh, safe and secure produce to the Fukuoka metropolitan area and beyond. It is Japan's most advanced market, featuring "functional facility layout" to suit the type of transactions, such as mass distribution and response to retailers, "compact facility planning" for efficiency and safety of on-site distribution, and "enhanced cold chain (cold logistics)" to ensure food safety.
Constant temperature
Kyushu is a treasure house of foodThe gross agricultural production of Kyushu accounts for 20% of the market share nationwide, which supports Japan as a food supply center. Furthermore, Fukuoka ranked as No. 1 in terms of amount of the sales transactions for marine products among the whole major fishing ports and approximately 300 sorts of fresh seafood are displayed in the fish markets in Fukuoka.

Fukuoka Food advancing into foreign marketsFollowing current trends of Japanese food in foreign countries, more companies in Fukuoka are advancing into foreign markets, mainly in Asia. Led by unique Fukuoka food culture such as Tonkotsu Ramen (noodle with a pork bone broth) and Mizutaki (chicken and vegetables cooked in a pot at the table), some wholesalers dealing with local foodstuff in Kyushu are advancing into Asian markets.
