[Press Release] We have decided on the direction of lunch for junior high schools after FY2021-We will aim for the early realization of school lunch under the School Lunch Act with a view to FY2021.

　Hamaben concludes agreement for five years from 2016 in Motoichi and company and carries out business, but original agreement period ends at the end of 2020. For this reason, we conducted questionnaire surveys on junior high school lunch for elementary school studenｔ students, parents and teachers and staff and sounding surveys for business operators to make it easier to use while taking advantage of the current system of choice for junior high school lunch. In addition, we conducted discussions such as holding a round-table conference on junior high school lunch in Yokohama City, which includes outside experts.
　In the future, based on this direction, we will work to further enhance junior high school lunch.
