Japan launched its regulatory certification system for organic foods based on the amended JAS laws in June 2000, followed by the implementation of regulations on organic agricultural products and organic processed foods in January 2001 and with the implementation of the standards on organic animal husbandry and organic feed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries in 2005, organic foods have been under integrated and systematic supervision. Certification of organic foods can be undertaken by registered accredited bodies (private certification bodies) or legal entities conforming to the regulations of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries. However, with the amendment of the JAS laws in March 2006, only legal entities conforming to the regulations of the ISO/IEC GUIDE 65 are eligible as certification bodies. Foreign organic products imported to Japan must be certified organic under JAS regulations and must be manufactured or produced by foreign manufacturers certified by local or foreign registered accredited organizations and distributed with the Organic JAS Mark affixed or through importers certified by local registered accredited organizations and distributed with the Organic JAS Mark affixed on the products. It can be implied from the Japanese case study that it necessary to reform the diverse agricultural products certification systems to set up an integrated certification system, and the restructuring of government organizations, reforms of environmentally-friendly agricultural products certification system and the integration of the organic food certification systems are needed in order to integrate the control of the standards and certification systems.

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the feasibility of exporting Korean organic agricultural products to Japanese market. To achieve the objective, we explored the marketing trend of organic agricultural products in Japan and surveyed marketing dealers and food processors that deal with organic foods. We also analyzed Korean farmers' intention of acquiring organic Japanese Agricultural Standard(JAS) certificate in order to export organic agricultural products. The results show that mini tomato is economically feasible to acquire organic JAS certificate but other agricultural products need more attentions. The results also suggest that the education of production and safety management using the international standards such as Japanese Agricultural Standard should be strengthened by local government to promote export of organic agricultural products. The paper implies that producers acquiring organic Japanese Agricultural Standard should be systematization to get larger scale and to guarantee the stability in export supply.

쌀식초(rice vinegar, RV)는 쌀, 찹쌀, 현미 등을 주원료로 발효되며, 쌀을 주식으로 하는 아시아 지역에서 조미료로 이용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 한국산(KRV1~4), 중국산(CRV1~2), 일본산(JRV1~4) 시판 천연발효 쌀식초 10종을 구입하여 이들의 품질을 비교하였다. 식초의 적정산도에 대한 나라별 기준은 한국(식품공전) 4~29%, 중국(GB) 3.5% 이상, 일본(JAS) 4.2% 이상으로 10종의 시료는 모두 이 기준을 만족하였고, KRV(5.07~6.27%)가 CRV(4.67~4.84%) 및 JRV(4.64~4.84%)에 비해 유의적으로 높은 값을 나타내었다. 쌀식초의 주요 유기산으로 acetic acid와 succinic acid를 포함한 6종이 분석되었고 유리아미노산으로 30종이 분석되었으며, 한국산의 경우 alanine, 중국산의 경우 phenylalanine과 aspartic acid, 일본산의 경우 leucine과 alanine이 주요 성분으로 확인되었다. 한편 생리활성물질인 ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid는 KRV1에서 유의적으로 높게 분석되었다. 총 폴리페놀은 KRV1에서 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었고, 이 시료의 DPPH 및 ABTS 라디칼 소거 활성 또한 유의적으로 높게 확인되었다. 천연발효 쌀식초의 이화학적 품질은 원료의 종류 및 함량, 발효방법, 숙성 여부에 따라 차이를 나타내었고, 현미를 사용하여 1년 이상 정치발효 한 KRV1에서 가장 높은 아미노산 함량 및 항산화 활성이 확인되었다.
