The authors have conducted an analysis on the economic impact of quality control and hygiene management of fishery products in the landing areas, which center on fishing ports, by employing the Input-Output (hereafter referred to as I-O) table by taking Hokkaido into an example. The analysis consists of three steps: 1) setting up two scenarios, 2) estimating input data to the I-O table on the basis of advanced cases in Hokkaido, 3) simulating economic effects by I-O analysis. The results are as follows: 1) 1Exporting fishery products and supplying to the nation under quality control and hygiene management thereof contribute to the rise in value, 2) The economic effects far reach the whole country, especially consuming areas as well as landing areas. This paper also has clarified the validity of the fisheries infrastructure development in landing areas and the effectiveness of I-O analysis.
