On September 11th, JapanHarvest had the honor of meeting with Hanako Jimi, Minister of State for Special Missions, during her visit to Okayama Prefecture. This meeting was facilitated by Halows, with President Sato and Product Management Director Ohta in attendance.

During the visit, Minister Jimi observed the "Halows Model" and learned about JapanHarvest's initiatives, including our "foodbank without a warehouse" model and "collaboration with government agencies to support those in need."

Minister Jimi, who is also responsible for next year's Expo in Kansai, expressed interest in our goal to expand beyond Okayama to regions like Hiroshima, Osaka, and Tokyo, enhancing public welfare throughout Japan.

We are grateful to Halows for this valuable opportunity and to Minister Jimi for her time and support. We look forward to continued collaboration in the future.
