Report Synopsis

Toward Sustainable Livestock: Integrating Domestic Feed and Exports

Shinya Okazaki

This report outlines strategies for achieving sustainable management within our company by

reducing dependency on imported feed, minimizing environmental impact and costs, and

increasing profitability through exports. Based on an analysis of domestic and international case

studies, the following key points are presented:

1. Reducing Environmental Impact and Costs through Domestic Feed

Transitioning to domestic feed can reduce CO2 emissions from transportation by

approximately 750 kg per ton. With a total replacement of 647 tons, this equates to

an annual reduction of approximately 485,250 kg of CO2. Additionally, leveraging

local feed materials and by-products has achieved cost savings of approximately ¥15

million annually.

2. Increasing Profitability through Exports

The company aims to establish a fully operational export business by 2025, focusing

particularly on regions with growing demand for beef, such as Asian countries.

Tailored product offerings based on market-specific needs are expected to enhance

profitability.

Our goals include increasing the ratio of domestic feed to over 50% by 2026, building stronger

partnerships with local farmers and public institutions to secure a stable supply chain, and

expanding export operations. This report provides actionable solutions to address these

objectives and serves as a blueprint for the company’s long-term sustainable growth.
