Abstract

 While Japan is now working on the export promotion of Japan's marine products and food, the functions of production and logistics for their export have yet to be fully studied. The author has clarified that the ports serve vital functions in production and logistics from the production areas to the export destination countries by analyzing related statistical data and other existing data, and concluded that it is effective to export more live fish, fresh fish, chilled fish or fillet by utilizing the proximity shipping routes.
