Hokkaido Corporation was established in 2015 with investment from local companies and regional financial institutions based in Hokkaido.
Since its establishment, our company has been working as a community-based trading firm to expand sales channels for Hokkaido products both in Japan and overseas, particularly in China and Southeast Asia.
Japan's population is expected to decline rapidly in the future, and Hokkaido's population is projected to decrease from the current 5.15 million people (as of the end of March 2022) to 4 million people by 2045.
It is inevitable for Hokkaido-based companies to strengthen their business with foreign countries amid declining population, but it is not easy for small and medium-sized enterprises to handle "collection of sales proceeds", "hedge foreign exchange risks" and "negotiations with foreign companies" on their own.
We have established a one-stop system to support such activities.
We will continue to take on the challenge of making Hokkaido a better place.
