Abstract
In the preceding sections we have shown that Japanese agriculture is finely adjusted to the climatic conditions prevailing in different regions of the country. In northern Japan in particular, where thermal conditions are critical determinants of rice production, seemingly small temperature anomalies can result in wide variations in productivity and regional rice supply that have implications for the national rice market, itself a precarious balance of domestic heavily subsidized supply and demand.
