What's Pecan Nuts Project ?
We aim to regenerate agriculture and create regional revitalization in collaboration with three unions: ‘Salon de Royal’, Rikuzentakata city and Tokyo university.(Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Science).
To achieve that goal, we would grow domestic production and distribution of American well known pecan nuts which have high profitability and anti-aging effects.
[What is the division of roles in the Pecan Nuts Project?]
The role of Salon de Royal Co., Ltd. and Golden Pecan Co., Ltd. in the Pecan Nuts Project is to promote the excellence of pecannuts as a food ingredient in Japan and overseas as a food-related company.
We are focusing on the establishment of a wide range of "the culture of putting pecan nuts on the table" through the development of Pecan recipes and the proposal of new eating habits.
