Abstract: To make an approach to this report theme, the imported food focused on is imported beef from Australia and America. Quality is defined as attributes for which the direction of good evaluation by all buyers is identical, and safety is included in quality. To resolve this issue, practices of improving beef quality and safety in the imported beef food system, from cattle production to its import are surveyed, with an explication of vertical relations among players and market structure for each stage in the food system. Finally, choices concerning imported beef quality and safety level are considered, analyzing some performances and their factors for improving imported beef quality and safety.
