Support for HACCP Implementation: Ehime Prefecture Announces New Funding Opportunities
Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture – September 9, 2025 – Ehime Prefecture has announced the opening of new application periods for its HACCP Hard Business initiative, designed to assist businesses in strengthening their food safety management systems. This initiative provides financial support for the implementation of necessary hardware and equipment to meet HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) standards.
The prefecture is currently accepting applications for two distinct funding cycles:
- FY2024 Supplementary HACCP Hard Business (5th Application Period): This round offers an opportunity for businesses to secure support for projects initiated or requiring funding adjustments within the current fiscal year.
- FY2025 Initial HACCP Hard Business (4th Application Period): This cycle is for businesses planning HACCP-related hardware investments and implementations commencing in the next fiscal year.
The HACCP Hard Business initiative underscores Ehime Prefecture’s commitment to fostering a robust and safe food industry.
