What a workable Wagyu inquiry looks like.
First Agri works each inquiry against Japan-side supply, inventory planning, and export requirements. Here is what helps the conversation move — whatever market you sell into.
Lead with what you're sourcing, then we can shape the supply path.
A short brief lets us open the right supplier conversation in Japan. We reply with what can be supplied, what needs confirmation, and what the next step should be.

What we need to validate
A good inquiry covers six operational dimensions.
Before we open a sourcing thread with Japanese suppliers, we need to know enough about your channel to ask answerable questions. The more of these you can specify, the faster we move.
i.
Grade
Why it matters. A4 vs A5 changes both availability and cost dramatically. Whether your buyers care about prefecture-of-origin also changes which suppliers we can approach.
Coreii.
Cuts
Why it matters. Buying whole muscles vs selected primals vs trim shapes the supplier conversation entirely. If your channel can absorb off-cuts, more programmes open up.
Coreiii.
Temperature
Why it matters. Chilled product needs a ≤30-day shelf-life lane and lands a different price than frozen. We confirm your chain can hold it before we shape the offer.
Coreiv.
Volume
Why it matters. First order, monthly cadence, and seasonality decide whether this becomes a spot programme or a recurring one. A range is fine — precision can come later.
Corev.
Terms
Why it matters. FOB vs CIF vs DDP changes which side carries risk, financing, and importer of record — and which side talks to the inspection authority.
Helpfulvi.
Import readiness
Why it matters. Licences, certifications, and the inspection pathway already on your side decide the lead time more than anything else does. We work the missing pieces from there.

A four-step supply path. We confirm feasibility before final terms — and if the fit isn't there, we'll say so.
