About this book

Kuroda uses quantitative measures to investigate the rice production structure and effects of agricultural policies in Japan over the second half of the 20th century. Almost all policies have played negative roles in transferring paddy lands from small- to large-scale farms, which has slowed down to modernize the rice sector.

Reviews

'This book is full of useful information about the structure of Japanese agriculture, its transformation, and obstacles to achieve it. That is why I strongly recommend policymakers, governmental agricultural officers, agricultural specialists, and agricultural economists, including graduate students, to read this book, learn lessons from the Japanese experience, and draw socially and globally useful policy implications.'

Professor Keijiro Otsuka, National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies, Tokyo, Japan

'This book is a must-read for researchers seeking to understand diverse aspects of and approaches to the study of Japanese agricultural structure, particularly in the rice sector.'

Professor Masayoshi Honma, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, University of Tokyo, Japan
