- 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. Existing research relies on specific commodities but does not cover the entire agriculture and food materials. The purpose of this research is to construct a dataset of Japanese port rejection data from 2000-2005 so that quantitative analysis can be conducted. 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 Japan, the share of vegetables (HS07) was the largest (17%), followed by preparations of meat and aquatic products (HS16) with 15%, edible preparations (HS21) with 12%, and aquatic products (HS03) with 12%. Compared to these, cereals accounts for only 2% of the rejections. Thus, among agriculture and food products, the share of rejections vary widely among different commodity groups. The future research could explore the link between the frequency of rejections to commodity and/or country characteristics.
