Kagome is a corporate group that manufactures, procures, and sells food products domestically and internationally. The group consists of Kagome and 40 subsidiaries, along with 3 affiliated companies, and operates primarily through two business segments: domestic processed food operations and international operations.

In domestic processed food operations, the company manufactures and sells beverages and seasonings. Specific products include the "Vegetable Life 100 Series," "Tomato Juice," and "One Vegetable a Day," among others. Through direct-to-consumer channels, the company also offers vegetable beverages, supplements, and soups.

In international operations, the company handles all stages from agricultural production to product development, processing, and sales. Primary tomato products include "tomato paste" and "diced tomatoes," while secondary processed products include "pizza sauce" and "barbecue sauce." These products are sold worldwide.

The company also operates other business segments, including domestic agricultural operations, seed production and sales, research and development of new varieties and cultivation techniques, real estate operations, contract manufacturing services, and new business ventures. Through this diversified approach, Kagome operates across multiple business areas.

Kagome is developing a 2035 Vision to pursue sustainable growth. This vision serves as a long-term framework to address unpredictable changes such as climate change and the widespread adoption of AI. Building on the foundation of "creating value from agriculture," Kagome aims to realize sustainable farming practices and contribute to health through food and agriculture. Through this approach, the company seeks to achieve both low environmental impact and cost competitiveness while addressing social challenges.

Kagome's growth strategy is driven by both organic and inorganic growth. In organic growth, the domestic processed food business focuses on increasing vegetable consumption through expanded demand for vegetable beverages and tomato-based seasonings. In international operations, the company is strengthening partnerships with global foodservice companies to expand supply market share. For inorganic growth, Kagome is exploring business opportunities targeting the North American market and accelerating growth through partnerships and M&A.

Kagome aims to achieve sustainable growth by addressing social challenges. The company is working on three key social issues: extending healthy life expectancy, promoting agriculture and regional revitalization, and ensuring a sustainable global environment—while linking these efforts to corporate growth. In particular, through promoting vegetable consumption and developing plant-based foods, Kagome contributes to healthier eating habits. By doing so, the company creates both social and economic value, thereby enhancing corporate value.
