What is Ikegami farm?
1. Our Vision
The number of people working in the swine industry in Japan is decreasing, with only approximately 5000 houses left. Under this situation, the reason why we continue to operate a business with a history of more than 50 years can hardly be discussed without mentioning the help of community resident and members of Nara Coop.
Our company mission is to protect Japan’s brand and aim to be a safe and secure farm while continuing to develop the potential of the swine industry.
