日本的食品消费量非常大。每年日本的食品市场销售总额能达到2000亿美元,这其中有1/8是进口食品。由此可见,日本进口食品的数量相当可观,但现实情况却是,我国食品出口日本的难度很大,且利润低。究其原因,主要表现在以下四个方面: 第一,日本法律对食品行业的规定很多,且执行严格。日本有一个食品卫生方面的法案——《制造责任法》,对进口食品提出了较为严格的要求。比如,国内食品一般标明食品的生产日期与保质期,日本则规定要注明最后食用日期;包装若不符合其要求,也难上日本商店的货架。中日对食品安全期的观念也不一样。如罐头,我国普遍认为可保存一年,而日本人认为最多能保存3 Japan’s food consumption is very large.
