The Japanese economy experienced rapid development during the
mid-1950s through to the early -1970s, with a compound annual
average growth rate of higher than ten per cent. Although the labor
productivity of the agricultural sector increased fairly sharply,
the non-agricultural sectors enjoyed much higher growth rates of
labor productivity during the same period of time. This resulted in
big income gaps between the agricultural and non-agricultural
households. To reduce such income gaps between the two sectors, the
Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF) enacted the
Agricultural Basic Act in 1961 and started enforcing various
policies for agriculture. These representative policy measures have
been the output price-supports, in particular rice, the output-mix
change, the set-asides, the input subsidies, and the research and
extension (R&E) programs.
In Volume 2 the (crops-livestock) multiple-product translog
variable profit function is used to quantitatively investigate the
impacts of the output price-supports, the set-asides, the input
subsidies, and the R&E programs on the important economic
indicators from 1965-97. The most important finding based on such
quantitative analyses is that the agricultural policy measures
introduced by the MAFF played a vital role in restricting land
transfers from small- to large-scale farms for more efficient and
productive farming on larger-scale farms contrary to expectations.
