2. Convenient overseas door to door cool delivery

Japan Post provides door to door cool delivery of fresh Japanese food to Singapore with the same convenience as delivery in Japan, in cooperation with overseas transfer service providers.

Furthermore, a door to door express delivery service of frozen foods to overseas destinations is planned for launching in FY2014. We will continue to support businesses exporting fresh Japanese food by providing cool delivery and expanding overseas sales channels.
