About Osaki Farm, an agricultural corporation
We, Osaki Noen, are an agricultural production corporation combining facility gardening and open field vegetables on a vast farmland in the Osumi Peninsula, Kagoshima Prefecture.
We are a company built by three classmates who quit their jobs and came together with “passion, effort, and gratitude. Since its establishment, we have been constantly challenging ourselves to create new things, focusing on the original taste of vegetables, and working day by day to provide delicious and inspiring tastes.
As a leader of the local community and a creator of agricultural values, we have been trying to stay ahead of the times, and in the midst of the paradigm shift in values from material economic growth to environmental and social sustainability, we consider contract farming from a market-in perspective to meet the needs of consumers as the pillar of our business, and we are committed to improving quality and proposing products that meet our customers’ needs through thorough production process management and work time management. We aim to offer products that meet the needs of our customers by improving the quality of our products through thorough management of production processes and working hours.

Data-based managed agriculture.
We aim to “practice the production-first principle,” which is based on the production of delicious vegetables, by converting agricultural technology, which is the experience and intuition of our predecessors, into data, and by managing information from growth to production and soil information.
The Production First Principle is a way of thinking that improves productivity in an easy-to-understand manner through data and process management modeled after the manufacturing industry.
A crop sales plan is established, a production plan is created in line with the plan, and the plan is incorporated into farm work management, production process management, and work time management. Work procedures and management methods are clarified by sharing work manuals at the end of the work process. By recording all data, we strive to improve safe and secure products and productivity.
We believe it is necessary to design the future of agriculture to realize sustainable growth for both local communities and agriculture, to create the future environment for agriculture, and to develop human resources with attractive and human skills to establish strong agricultural management needed by the community.
Osaki Noen will continue to pursue and evolve our agricultural production to deliver “vegetables that please everyone” with smiles of local communities and customers through agriculture.

Consortium for cooperation between
production areas through work-sharing.
Each region has its own harvest season for open field vegetables.
During the harvest season, many vegetables can be shipped and it is a busy season in terms of work. On the other hand, there are no shipments during the leaf-border season, resulting in an overabundance of manpower.
Therefore, we collaborate with farms in Hokkaido, which have different harvest seasons, to manage production and work-sharing during the harvest season.
Through this production area collaboration consortium, we are optimizing manpower and establishing a year-round shipping system to efficiently produce high quality agricultural products.

Expansion of work machinery
to improve efficiency.
Mechanization is essential to manage and work the 120-hectare farm.
The introduction of agricultural machinery and state-of-the-art equipment appropriate for the level of work required has reduced staff labor and enabled more efficient farm operations.
