Increasing problems concerning pesticide residue have emerged. In a similar trend, problems concerning the detection of unauthorized additives has emerged. The importation of plums exemplifies such problems. This paper clarifies aspects of the raw procurement and quality control systems of a Chinese enterprise, T company. T company uses a broker mediation system where the broker both manages procurement and is the farmer of the plum trees. The plum tree processing of T company is not a system that can accommodate the manufacturing process. If a problem occurs, the cause of that problem is not ascertained, increasing the difficulty of solving the problem. Moreover, product quality is not inspected up to the stage where the product is exported, therefore the discovery of problems is difficult at early stages.
