Introduction:
The U.S. Soybean Export Council and Japan Natto Cooperative Society Federation welcome you to 2022 NATTO SUMMIT. This is a 3-day conference organized by USSEC and JNCSF and made possible through the support of our U.S. Soybean Producers as well as our key partners, the Specialty Soya and Grains Alliance (SSGA). This year the JNCSF will also organize the National Natto Competition in Mito City, the birthplace of natto, on the day before the Natto Summit. In addition, USSEC will host the U.S. Soy Buyers Outlook Conference the week after the Summit as well!

The purpose of the NATTO SUMMIT is:
・ Exchange opinions on the most recent soybean raw materials for natto
・ Share information on soybean production regions, and build future-oriented partnerships
・Create a valuable opportunity for exchange between natto producers and U.S. soybean producers

Details of the event will be announced at a later date.
We look forward to seeing you at the summit!
