ユーグレナに魅了されて
March 2010. There was a woman who visited Fukumoto, Our
This is Okada, the main character of this project.
As soon as Okada met Fukumoto, he suggested:
"I would like to help you expand into China, so why don't you visit China together? I will introduce various Chinese companies."
このとき岡田はまだ当社の仲間ではなかった。たまたま夫が持ってきた当社のパンフレットを読み、微細藻類ユーグレナに高いポテンシャルを感じた岡田は、胸の高鳴りを抑えきれず、その日のうちにパンフレット全てを中国語に翻訳し、確信した。 「生活習慣病にかかる人が多い中国で、ユーグレナという素材が役立つに違いない」
And since an acquaintance of the Chinese health food industry agreed, he actually visited Fukumoto to invite the person in charge of our company to visit China.
In late May 2010, Fukumoto, who accepted Okada's proposal, flew to Beijing.
ユーグレナに対する愛と熱意が芽生えていた岡田は、ユーグレナを中国に広めることこそが自分の役目であり、「私がやるしかない」という気持ちで臨んでいた。
現地では通訳を担当しながら、福本を中国企業などに案内して回った。
そこでの岡田の活躍とユーグレナへの思いの本気度を目の当たりにした福本は、2010年11月に岡田を当社の仲間に迎え入れ、本格的に当社の中国進出が幕を開けた。
第一の関門、ユーグレナで
「新食品原料」としての
登録を取得する
The initial plan to expand to China was to sell hard capsule-shaped supplements that we handle in Japan. However, the plan was implemented when the Chinese government issued a "health food application policy" stating that hard capsules cannot be imported without the qualification of Chinese health foods (functional foods in Japan). I can't do it anymore.
そこで岡田が中心となって、まずは中国でユーグレナを「新食品原料」として登録することを目指す方針に転換した。「新食品原料」として登録されれば中国で食品原料として認められることとなり、日本からユーグレナが原料として中国向けに輸出できることになるからだ。
登録には想定以上に時間を要した。当時の中国国内の事情や国際情勢に加えて、『認めた仲間』かどうかが判断に影響するという中国独自の風土も影響した。
岡田は、少しでも早く日本発の食材であるユーグレナを「新食品原料」として登録するべく、健康食品や試験に関連する仕事をしている知人にユーグレナのことを説明に行ったり、どうにか早く登録に進めないかという依頼をしたり、と奔走した。
そして2013年11月、約3年の月日を経て、遂に「新食品原料」の登録を取得した。
The second barrier, with our company as a foreign-affiliated company
In a Taiwanese company
Create a joint venture in Shanghai
The next barrier after obtaining the registration of "new food ingredients" was to create a system to deliver products to customers. We have decided to establish a joint venture with a Taiwanese food ingredient sales company in China.
Of course, Okada is in charge of the procedure for establishing the joint venture. However, this is the first time for me to complete the procedure for establishing a company.
The registration in China, that is, the procedure required to start a company, is dauntingly complicated, and I went through the preliminary surveys one by one. No one told me that I had no experience when I asked anyone.
Meanwhile, Euglena, will support him as a local consultant from May 2014, and the two of them are preparing for registration.
In July 2015, we finally established a group company, "Shanghai Yuryokuna Biotechnology Co., Ltd."
Euglena is written as "Yurinna" in Chinese name. Yu imagined a long history that has been made for 500 million years, and named the green from the beautiful green Euglena
And the opening ceremony of Euglena was greeted.
At the beginning of our expansion into China, Okada was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
「ユーグレナで中国の人たちの健康を支えたい」
その一心で、今日も岡田は中国で走り続けている。
