The purpose of this paper is to clearly outline the issue of the rising prices of the frozen vegetables exported to Japan and to identify the reason for the increase in export prices of Chinese produce with a view to the cost items related to residual pesticides. Through review of the statistical data and reports by the exemplar company, the following points were clarified. First, the prices of the frozen vegetables exported to Japan are confirmed to be rising with all the products listed in the statistical data. This is, thus, positioned as a general trend. Second, the hike in Chinese export prices is not due to securing profits but due, in part, to increases in procurement, processing, and personnel expenses. As for the impact of the costs related to residual pesticides arising from the changes in export environments, which is our research group's interest, only slightly more than 10 percent of the hike in the export prices is attributed to the inspection cost, which is the highest cost item among all items.
