Funasho also focus on the importance of logistics center functions to deliver fresh, delicious fruits and vegetables
Utilizing the fix-temperature logistic areas of the Ohta Market Logistics Center (kept at 15°C all year long),
which began operation in April 2011, Funasho has enhanced its freshness control structure to establish thorough cold chain logistics.
These cold chain logistic system are assured with FCC Logistics Center 1 inside the Ohta Market and FCC Logistics Center 2 inside Prologis Park Tokyo Ohta.
Since the refrigerators, elevators, and packaging areas are located adjacent to the constant-temperature logistic areas, this structure enables swift receipt and processing, as well as the smooth loading of trucks.

Produce collection capabilities
We take pride in our ability to stock stable supplies of produce from producer regions across Japan at the Ohta Market.
Purchasing products directly from the farm enables stable supplies of products unaffected by the volume delivered to the market.
In addition, we purchase unique products and excellent products grown with special care directly from farmers.
The Metropolitan Central Wholesale Ohta Market where we are located is Japan’s largest market for fresh fruits and vegetables trading.
Our broad pipeline with this market enables us to deliver stable supplies of products to our customers.
