Jin'ya Kimura Award (2007 Recipient)
It is the highest honor in the apple industry, recognizing innovation, pioneering spirit, and the achievement of strong social trust. Fuji Plant received this award for its achievements in establishing and promoting long-term apple storage technology using CA storage.
"Only professionals in the highest-level precision storage technology (CA technology) can provide the optimal solution for all storage needs."
Fuji Plant has mastered the industry’s most advanced CA storage technology. By flexibly combining it with other storage methods, we can offer the most suitable storage plans for various fresh products.
Reasons why CA storage is highly precise technology:
Strict Gas Concentration Control
The concentrations of oxygen (1–3%) and carbon dioxide are carefully controlled within an extremely narrow range. Even slight deviations can lead to quality deterioration or physiological disorders.
Precise temperature and humidity control
To precisely maintain the internal gas composition, it is crucial to ensure high airtightness that completely prevents external air from entering, as well as to have systems capable of detecting abnormalities and maintenance teams that can respond rapidly.
Extremely High Airtightness
To precisely maintain the internal gas composition, it is crucial to ensure high airtightness that completely prevents external air from entering, as well as to have systems capable of detecting abnormalities and maintenance teams that can respond rapidly.
Understanding of Each Variety's Characteristics
Even among apple varieties, the optimal storage conditions differ, and their respiration rate changes over time. Thus, fine-tuned condition settings and dynamic adjustments tailored to each type of produce are required.
High-Precision Automatic Control System
Because gas concentration measurement, pressure adjustment, gas injection, and ethylene removal must be continuously controlled, high-precision sensors and devices, along with remote monitoring and control systems, are indispensable.
By combining precise construction, advanced control management systems, and extensive maintenance experience, we provide stable storage operations that last for decades.

(2023 Apple University)
Thanks to the widespread adoption of CA storage, apples can now be supplied stably throughout the year, leading to significant growth in the industry.With over 80% market share in CA storage, Fuji Plant has made a major contribution to the economic development of the apple industry.
“Expanding CA storage technology developed for apples to other crops.”
A new business initiative has begun — one that preserves freshness and value.
Potatoes
Marketed under the brand name “Well-Rested Potatoes,” these are gaining popularity. CA storage significantly increases sugar content, enhances flavor, and minimizes nutrient loss — proving that both quality and taste can be maintained.
Onions
We are building a system that allows year-round supply of domestically grown onions without relying on imports. CA storage suppresses sprouting, preserves nutritional value and flavor, and enables stable year-round distribution. It is also attracting attention as a solution to harvest fluctuations caused by recent abnormal weather conditions.
Garlic
Enhancing the competitiveness of domestic garlic, which faces pressure from imports. Long-term storage enables flexible market timing and creates high added value. This contributes to the stable supply of domestic garlic and its differentiation from imported products.
