In recent years, land mobility has been enhanced mainly through farmland leasing. Currently,about 50% of the nation’s total farmland is managed by leading producers. Although there are voluminous studies on farmland mobility or land consolidation,very few studies have examined the factors contributing to enhanced farmland mobility from a holistic point of view.This paper is intended to explore the deter­minants of farmland mobility with focus on the length of a lease contract. It also intends to highlight the differences in such determinants across various types of farmland mobility. Our empirical analysis relies on the panel data composed of 42 prefectures for three sub-periods spanning 1995–2009.The main results derived from the estimation are as follows. First,leading farmers are more likely to lease farmlands through a long-term contract. Second, the demand for non-farming purposes has little effect on farmland mobility through lease contracts with land rent.
