Abstract
In this paper, I researched characteristic index of demand and supply which indicates the are aand supplying ratio regarding the circulation of fruits and vegetables controlled under wholesale market. First, using factor analysis, I clarified the differences in eight regional characters among one hundred cities in Japan. Secondly, I have found two factors correlated with the characteristic index, using multiple regression analysis. One is the accumlation of commerce and the other is the manner of employment influenced by manufacture. These two factors are useful for qualitative grasp on the subject of perishable foodstuff's circulation controlled under wholesale market.
