The Standardization of crops has made distribution efficient and widespread. However the role of "Standardization" has shifted to price making. The reasons are as follows : the price of crops has been decreasing, the numbers of imported crops are increasing, and the distribution system is changing. There have been only a few studies on the standardization of crops in Japan. The purpose of this paper is to trace the changes of standardization process in Japan and its background, as well as to examine the function of standardization and its effect in each era.
