Learn About the Current State of Game Meat with National Seminars

Discover the Current State of Game Meat in Japan

In Japan, wild animal-related damages, especially from deer and boars, have escalated to a critical level, necessitating continued efforts for control and mitigation. In response to this situation, Issei Corporation is launching the "Complete Game Meat Seminar," which will take place in five locations across the country this year. The goal is to effectively utilize captured wildlife as a local resource, balancing damage prevention with economic growth.

This comprehensive seminar aims to educate attendees on essential skills for hygienically processing captured wild animals. The curriculum will cover a systematic approach from capture to processing, distribution, and sales, preparing participants for venturing into the game meat business. Learning will extend beyond theoretical knowledge; we aspire for attendees to develop practical skills applicable in business planning and local implementation.

Whether you are just starting or already involved in the game meat industry, this seminar welcomes everyone interested in deepening their knowledge. It represents an excellent opportunity for all to consider the potential of game meat and translate ideas into practice. We warmly invite many people to participate and explore these possibilities together.
