NIPPON EXPRESS' NX AGRIGROW RECEIVES VIETNAMESE AMBASSADOR VISIT

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 17 (Bernama) -- NX AgriGrow Co Ltd, a group company of Nippon Express Holdings Inc, received a visit from Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Vu Hong Nam on August 4.

In a statement today, it said Vu recently made a tour of companies in Hokuto City, Japan during which NX AgriGrow was recommended to him by Hokuto Mayor Eiji Kamimura as a firm engaged in cutting-edge agriculture.

NX AgriGrow, formerly Nittsu Farm Co Ltd, was established by the Nippon Express in Hokuto City, west of Tokyo, in 2016.

The company has since been working with the local community on projects aimed at eliminating abandoned farmland, contributing to local employment and resolving other issues facing the city.

In February this year, NX AgriGrow concluded a comprehensive partnership agreement with Hokuto City to promote the sustained development of agriculture and revitalise the local economy.

It is also striving through Hokuto’s key industry of agriculture to create a new model for sustainable regional development.
