Japan Agricultural Cooperatives (JA), a nationwide network of farm
cooperatives, is under increasing pressure to expand farmer incomes
by adapting coop strategies to changing market incentives. Some
coops have adapted more successfully than others. In Betting on the
Farm, Patricia L. Maclachlan and Kay Shimizu attribute these
differences to three sets of local variables: resource endowments
and product-specific market conditions, coop leadership, and the
organization of farmer-members behind new coop strategies. Using
in-depth case studies and profiles of different types of farmers,
Betting on the Farm also explores the evolution of the formal and
informal institutional foundations of postwar agriculture; the
electoral sources of JA's influence; the interactive effects of
economic liberalization and demographic pressures (an aging farm
population and acute shortage of farm successors) on the propensity
for change within the farm sector; and the diversification of
Japan's traditional farm households and the implications for farmer
ties with JA.
