- 研究成果概要
- In recent years, there is a heightened interest in the food safety issue. This reflects the number of food scares in developed countries as well as globalization where countries are relying more and more on the imported food materials. Research in this area is still sparse owing to the lack of systematic data gathering efforts. The purpose of this research is to construct an internationally comparable dataset of US port rejection data from 2007-2010 so that quantitative analysis can be conducted. Of 37,000 cases of the rejections, more than one third of the data (13,000) was processed to be assigned HS codes. The result indicates that there is a large variations among different types of agriculture and food commodities in terms of their shares in rejections. In case of the US, the share of aquatic products (HS03) was the largest (18%), followed by edible preparations (HS21) with 14%, preparations of vegetable products (HS20) with 11%, and bakery products (HS17) with 10%. Compared to the Japanese data, the compositions of the products with frequent rejections are different reflecting both the differences in imported goods and the focus of the regulatory agencies.
