This event is the sixth installment of the "Agriculture to Food Marché" (to be held in July 2023), which was born out of a desire to promote the connection between people and nature, to learn about the seasons, and above all, to deliver "local delicacies". This year's event will again be held in cooperation with Tokyo farms and "VEGESH TOKYO," a local production for local consumption project that is being implemented in Tokyo, a city with a food self-sufficiency rate of 0%, in an attempt to expand the circle of local production for local consumption by making people aware of the safety and deliciousness of vegetables and fruits produced in Tokyo.

The theme of this year's event is vegetables and herbs grown in Tokyo. In addition to the sale of fresh agricultural products, visitors will have the opportunity to experience picking herbs, which are generally used for flavoring, preservatives, medicines, fragrances, and insect repellents, and to enjoy cooking with herbs.

Vegetables for VEGESH

What is VEGESH TOKYO?

VEGESH TOKYO" (hereinafter referred to as "the service"), a store pickup type EC service with free shipping developed by R-E Corporation, focuses on "ensuring food security," which has become unstable due to various factors such as climate change and changes in the international situation, as a critical theme that directly affects the lives of Japanese citizens. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has a food self-sufficiency rate of 10%.

We believe that sustainable measures are required from the perspective of rising prices and environmental burdens, as Tokyo has many issues such as traffic congestion problems and lack of manpower for logistics, in addition to its low food self-sufficiency ratio of 0% (*Note 1).

To address these issues, we are promoting the development of a supply chain for agricultural products produced in Tokyo, building an intra-regional eco-system, and providing a logistics system with a joint delivery system to meet the needs of Tokyo consumers by shipping small quantities and eliminating the burden of shipping costs, thereby promoting local production for local consumption within the Tokyo metropolitan area. This service promotes local production for local consumption in Tokyo.

This service is also provided in collaboration with unerry Corporation, a smart service implementation promotion company under the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's "Be Smart Tokyo" smart service implementation promotion project, implemented by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Bureau of Digital Services. We will utilize the real behavioral data platform operated by unerry, improve the service through data analysis, and disseminate information to those who need this service.

Note 1: Refer to the food self-sufficiency rate by prefecture for fiscal year 2008 (approximate values) and fiscal year 2021 (finalized values).
