The main force of Japan to ensure the food safety is not the government department but the “Agricultural Association”. Japanese “Agricultural Association” makes the people eat the “rest assured food” by food quality control from the source, circulation and each link.

Japanese “Agricultural Association” is affectionately called “JA” by the Japanese. If the package of the agricultural products sold on the global market is printed with these two clear characters, safety can be guaranteed. JA is an independent legal person which is spontaneously established by practitioner engaged in agricultural production, which accepts government guidance. As Japan’s food safety commission, Ministry of Agriculture and the relevant agricultural policy performer, JA has carried out food safety supervision, which has provided the maximum guarantee both in production and life for farmers and consumers.
