Nancy Hsu, Vice Chairman, went to Aomori to participate in the "Centennial Relocation" glory event of Hirosaki Castle

        Nancy Hsu, Vice Chairman of FE Retail Group, led a team to visit Aomori Prefecture, Japan, where she paid respects to the mayors of Hirosaki and Hirakawa. She was also invited to attend the relocation ceremony of Hirosaki Castle, the only existing castle in northeastern Japan with a history of 400 years. She was the only business leader in Taiwan invited to take a seat and personally planted top apple tree species such as "World No.1" and "Beidou" in Hirosaki City's Apple Park, marking the beginning of the "Aomori Prefecture Hirosaki City Cultural Products Exhibition Carnival" in November. She also made specific contributions to deepening Taiwan Japan exchanges.

        Hirosaki City and Hirakawa City in Aomori Prefecture are prime apple producing areas and have maintained a close supply chain partnership with FE Retail Group for a long time. Both sides reached a high consensus during the talks that there will be deeper cooperation in sustainable agriculture, direct supply from production areas, and cultural tourism in the future, allowing Taiwanese consumers to taste the highest quality Japanese exquisite agricultural products at the first time. Far Eastern Department Stores once again demonstrated the synergy of the group during this carnival, joining forces with City'Super and A.Mart mass stores to challenge the new record of selling over 400000 units and doubling the quantity in Taiwan by 2026.
