Part-Time Rice-Farmers. On Two Issues for the Japanese Agriculture.
Agriculture in Japan has been characterized in recent years by a sharp decline of winter crops (such as wheat) and overproduction of rice on the one hand, and a high rise of part-time farming on the other hand. Overproduction of rice is the effect of a public system in which rice is paid at a higher price to the producer than it is by the consumer. The extraordinary diffusion of part-time farming is explained by some political, economical and cultural peculiarities of the Japanese society. All of these factors are intertwined and account for the failure of past agricultural policies. The new policy is a global one, which attempts at the same time to reorganize production (promotion of winter crops), management (collective use of large machinery) and consumption (promotion of rice food).
