Cargill opened our first sales office in Japan in 1956. In Japan, we play a significant role in handling grain, oil, feed ingredients, meat, fruit juice, functional food additives, malt and other products.

Cargill Japan engages in the arrangement of transportation, processing, product development, sales and marketing of commodities to satisfy customer needs across a diverse range of products. We also develop new food ingredients with health-promoting qualities.

Toshoku Ltd. merged with Cargill Japan to form Cargill Japan Limited on June 1, 2007. Cargill Toshoku business unit is a unique food-marketing group with more than 60 years of history and close business relationships with major food companies in Japan. Cargill Toshoku not only represents Cargill products, but also provides various food solutions based on the needs of customers.

Charitable giving and community involvement activities are carried out throughout Cargill locations around the world. In Japan, Cargill is involved in various volunteer activities including forest preservation activities in the suburb of Tokyo, through cutting weeds and planting nursery trees in the forest. We also visit an elderly home to help wash wheel chairs and participate in YMCA charity run to raise funds to support their summer camp for handicapped youth.

We believe it is important that our employees work with high ethical standards, respect each other and work in a safe environment.
