President's Message

Last year, we set out a long-term vision of “Achieving a global supply chain that meets customer needs” as our desired state in 10 years, and formulated our “Medium-Term Management Plan 2030” in order to realize this vision. This long-term vision truly embodies our Management Philosophy of “Connecting people and food around the world through inspirational experiences.” It aims to feed the voices of customers back to producers so that products and services may evolve, and to build a supply chain where the technology and value of producers and artisans are delivered to customers in a tangible form.

In our Medium-Term Management Plan 2030, for which FY2026 marks the first year, we will invest ¥56 billion in growth initiatives over five years both in Japan and abroad under the theme of “Further enhancing our strengths and expanding into global markets ” Overseas, we will expand exports of Japanese Wagyu and Australian Wagyu beef while enhancing processing and sales functions in Southeast Asia. In Japan, we will develop processed foods and reorganize our sales offices to address diversifying consumption styles. In addition, we will strengthen our business foundation by reforming logistics and through DX, while undertaking a unified implementation of our human resources, sustainability, and financial strategies.

By FY2030, we will aim to achieve net sales of ¥550 billion, ordinary income of ¥16 billion, ROIC of at least 6%, and ROE of at least 10%. To make this a reality, we will ensure disciplined investments and balance sheet management with a focus on capital efficiency, and will work toward an appropriate balance of growth investment and shareholder returns through optimized capital allocation. And while looking into achieving our DOE target of 3.0% as swiftly as possible and undertaking flexible share repurchases, we will also work to maximize our corporate value through PBR enhancement.
Targeting both the resolution of issues faced by society and an increase in corporate value, the Starzen Group will expand the possibilities of food and continue to take on new challenges. I humbly ask for your continued kind support as we move forward.
