農業を中心とする食資源産業においては、とりわけ「メガFTA元年」とされる2019年以降、急速なグローバル化の進展が見込まれる。こうした食資源産業のグローバル化は、従前は国家の保護政策の下で、小規模経営を維持してきた農業経営に危機をもたらす反面で、新たな食資源供給体制の構築をはじめとして、新たな展開の端緒となる可能性を有している。かかる現状認識を踏まえた本研究は、法学・行政学・農業経済学の研究者が、多角的フィールド調査(利害が対立する関係者から広くヒアリングを行うことによる立体的な実態把握)による実証研究に挑戦し、食資源確保のための実践的な法戦略の構築をめざす異分野融合型研究である。

This paper aims to test the effects of countermeasures implemented by the government to deal with recent butter shortages by making supply and demand adjustments. Since 2007, the food market in Japan has frequently faced an insufficient supply of butter, mainly because of a decrease in raw milk production. The government has devised two countermeasures in parallel, namely, butter imports through the National Import Control System (NICS) and Provisional Measures (PM) to support the additional production of milk products. The NICS has added an enormous volume of imported frozen bulk butter to the domestic market. The authorities concerned, however, have not been completely able to overcome butter shortages, especially as regards the refrigerated kind used for cooking, which accounts for approximately 60% of total butter consumption. The reason is considered to be imperfect product substitutability between frozen bulk butter and the refrigerated kind, due to smal-scale consumption and low profitability when subdivided packaging of bulk butter is involved. On the other hand, PM has promoted increased production of butter in spring and early summer through a switch in uses for raw milk, contributing to an elevated supply of refrigerated butter. These analyses have led us to the conclusion that effective supply and demand adjustments have substantially depended on not only imports by NICS but also vertical coordination in the uses for raw milk between agricultural cooperatives and milk processors in the private sector. It is important to recognize that such coordination does not work well without government interventionin the form of PM. The succeses of countermeasures for butter shortages are deemed to reflect the complementary relationship between the government and coperatives.
