It is well known that Japan has taken up food safety as an important issue. As Japan continues to import vegetables from China in large amounts, it is important to note the movements in export cropgrowing districts in China with regard to pesticide residuals. This paper elucidates these movements in the management of a Chinese vegetable cultivation area for export to Japan. The research analyzed J and Z vegetable exporters, clarifying that strict safety controls are difficult due to the fact that while public management is strengthening in China, the pressure for reducing costs is severe. Unless this pressure is eased the possibility that this problem will continue is high.
