Farmind Corporation (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Tatsuo Horiuchi) has largely renewed “Shokusenden.com” (https://www.shokusenden.com), a website for users of foods operated by Farmind. “Shokusenden.com” is a community site that boasts about 100,000 registered users. It features such functions as introducing foods to users through recipe articles from popular bloggers, and providing feedback from survey monitors and suggestions to manufacturers.

This time, we have revamped the site design and reviewed functions and services to make it easier for both users and manufacturers to see and use the site. This has resulted in the creation of a site that can share “real and useful” information for both users and manufacturers.

In this renewal….

[Enhancement of Needed Content]
In addition to continuing to offer popular content such as blogs and recipes, we also launched content pages that include discount campaigns, information on events, and back talks about product development. From the top page, the following six categories provide easy access to the page you want to see.
