October Activity Report
01Recycling Business
Finally, a press machine from Japan has arrived at our factory for the local production of MAGO BLOCK III!
We will begin setting up the factory in November with our tile production partner for the local production of tiles using waste materials.
Going forward, we will proceed with the staff and the business toward mass production of products locally.

02EV Business
The EV bus, which has been undergoing customs clearance procedures at the port since last month, was unloaded from its container at the port for customs re-evaluation.
We are currently continuing customs procedures with the agent and tax authorities, while simultaneously proceeding with license plate and insurance procedures for driving.
To ensure the success of the demonstration, all staff members will proceed with the utmost care to ensure the smooth delivery of the bus to the factory.
04Agriculture Business
A new 11-pack package will be released.
In addition to the 2-pack that has been popular with many people, we are now able to offer a larger capacity as a "moringa tea to continue" that can be easily incorporated into daily life.
Moringa leaves carefully grown in Ghana are blended and packaged with care in Japan. We will continue to foster "health for people and the planet" through moringa and expand a sustainable cycle connecting Ghana and Japan.
Please enjoy it as a cup for your precious moments.
*The 11-pack is scheduled to go on sale around November 20th.
Also available on our EC site!
