Japan's Large Scale Retail Store Law: a cause of concern for food exporters?
研究了日本实施近40年的大规模零售店法是否构成非关税壁垒并阻碍食品进口，以及改革对国内外供应商的影响。
Abstract The Large Scale Retail Store Law has been a feature of the Japanese distribution system in one form or another for almost 40 years. It has been viewed by critics as a form of non‐tariff barrier and an impediment to imports. Others view the Large Scale Retail Store Law as just another part of a distribution system that fits in, and has served Japanese society well. Reforms planned for the distribution system are likely to benefit Japanese agriculture just as much as foreign suppliers to the Japanese market.
