Abstract
The aims of this text were the attention of the distribution side in the wholesale market circulation and the evaluation and the judgment of the it's working. The transportation costs of a main vegetable 14 articles were totaled and the transportation efficiency was calculated for the transportation cost. And, five indices were installed and were analyzed from this total and the calculation. Five indices are 1. It is gross weight of the transportation cost. 2. It is an amount of the collection shipment, is a transportation distance, and it is transportation time to compos the transportation cost. 3. It is the be solution calculated as a necessary at least for transportation cost. 4. It is an additional cost as the difference between an actual transportation cost and the best solution. 5. It is transportation efficiency shown as a ratio of the best solution and an additional cost. The outline of the result is as follows. The first half of 80's is the one according to the increase of the amount of the production circulation though the cost of the vegetable transportation increases and the latter half of 80's is due to the increase of the transportation distance and the transportation time. A constant level is maintained concerning the distance about the transportation efficiency through 80's. Moreover, it is improved largely the time about the transportation efficiency in the first half of 80's and the latter half is maintained concerning. That is, the wholesale market circulation of the vegetable is ruled from the distribution side and it is judged to be avalid system in 1980's.
