Sato Foods to Build New Plant, Boost Production of Packed Rice

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--In recent years, Japan's market for processed rice, especially packaged rice, has been growing steadily. In addition to becoming a household staple, it has been popular as an "emergency food" amid disasters such as 2011's Great East Japan Earthquake and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sato Foods (Komaki, Japan) is expanding its production of packaged rice amid steady but strong sales of the company's main product, "Sato No Gohan." Sato expects to begin construction next year on a US$51.7 million expansion of its Higashikou Packed Rice Processing Plant in Kitakanbara, which will add 13,000 tons per year of product.
