Cargo creation business: Osaka Port support for food exports

We are promoting the establishment of logistics facilities by private business operators within Hanshin Port, with parties such as the port management body playing a central role, and also utilizing the cargo creation support system of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

From the perspective of “creating new cargo,” we are coordinating with the port management body and actively promoting the “exporting of food” promoted by the government.

Establishment of a cargo collection incentive system for agricultural, forestry and fishery products and food, etc., using reefer containers, etc.

We conduct support business using incentives, such as a project to attract mixed-load reefer export services for the NVOCC^* companies offering mixed-load reefer export services, and a logistics improvement project aimed at cargo owners and logistics businesses. See below for details of the business.

*NVOCC: Abbreviation of Non Vessel Operating Common Carrier. These are operators that do not have their own transportation means such as marine vessels, but use the vessels of shipping companies to transport cargo.

Support for the matching of Japanese suppliers with overseas buyers through participation in exhibitions and the hosting of business negotiations

In order to promote the exporting of agricultural and fishery products and food, etc., from Osaka Port, we are receiving cooperation from related institutions and are participating in exhibitions and hosting business negotiations. In order to support suppliers in the development of new sales routes through negotiations with overseas buyers via local trading companies, the local trading companies invite overseas buyers from various locations, including China, Hong Kong and Singapore, and then business negotiations are held with suppliers selected through a public appeal for participation.
