CEO and vice president Takashi Nagamatchi told reporters that Asia’s top seasoning company intends to increase volumes. The group plans to shift 100bn units of Ajinomoto seasoning products a year by 2010, focusing its efforts on exports to fast-growing markets in Asia.


“We will be focusing on exports, food safety, environmental protection and seeking new synergies in fast-growing Asian markets,” Nagamatchi revealed.


However, the goal may seem ambitious given that Ajinomoto recently posted its first net losses in eight years. Ajinomoto saw losses for the nine-month period ended 31 December of JPY4.31bn (US$48.2m).
