A must-see for food companies aiming to expand overseas! This seminar will allow you to learn about the challenges faced by food companies and support measures all at once.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Public-Private Council for the Promotion of the Global Food Value Chain (GFVC) hold a seminar every year to support the overseas expansion of food-related companies. This time, we invited food manufacturing and restaurant companies from the Kinki region to introduce their business overviews, challenges, and future prospects.
