18.(c) Fertilizer factory

Japanese name: Tozan Fertilizer Factory

Brazilian name: Casa Tozan Sesson de Azubo

Our company is also planning to enter the fertilizer industry, and as a trial start, we will first establish a bone meal factory within the Campinas farm, marking our first step into this type of business. Brazil is a world-renowned agricultural country and its land is said to be fertile, but areas like the state of São Paulo have been largely developed and the land, which has been cultivated for many years, can no longer withstand the traditional farming methods, so fertilization is required. Experts agree that we have reached a time when it is necessary to maintain soil fertility. The establishment of our factory was carried out with great expectations that it would contribute to future Japanese farmers in the hinterland. Although the company has only recently been established and its scale is not that large, it is still waiting for future expansion, but since it has already produced some quality products, it has set up a storage and sales office in Sao Paulo this year and has begun full-scale operations.
