Yoshimoto, S. | Kondo, T.
In this paper, we analyzed the Regional Structure for the Food System by Flow of Food and Drink Expenditure in Hokkaido. To this end, we constructed a Flow of Food and Drink Expenditure in Hokkaido and Prefectures using the Input-output Table for 2005. Hokkaido is distant from the consumer place where the population is concentrated, and this locational factor makes it difficult to provide food and food service with increased commodity value. As a result of these difficulties, 47.1% of the agriculture and fishery products and processed goods produced in Hokkaido is supplied as raw material for the food manufacturing industry and the food service industry of other prefectures in the nation. The amount of gross value added to agriculture and fishery products is the largest in Hokkaido. The main pillars of this added-value creation of the Hokkaido food industry are Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
