Overview

Fishery, Agriculture and Forestry

HOB Co.,Ltd.

HOVE Inc. is a vertically integrated strawberry company that conducts everything from breeding and seedling production to fruit procurement and sales, supplying domestically grown strawberries year-round to confectionery manufacturers and other food industry customers. The company's core competitive strength lies in its proprietary everbearing (day-neutral) strawberry varieties 'Pechika Ever' and 'Natsu Mizuki,' which enable harvest during the summer-autumn season (May–November) when domestic supply from conventional seasonal varieties is scarce and imports from the United States dominate the market. In addition to the strawberry fruit and seedling businesses, the company operates a potato business (seed and fresh potato procurement/sales) and a logistics business through its consolidated subsidiary, S-Logistics Co., Ltd.
