<p>The paper discusses how genetically-modified (GM) seeds containing patents affect benefits for bio-majors (large seed corporations) and farmers based on interviews with actors in the GM seed supply system. The first analysis indicated the importance of the patents system for bio-majors to recover investments when farmers replant bio-majors' seeds. The second analysis, based on a field study, revealed that seed suppliers in the GM seed system can enhance the benefits for bio-majors and of farmers who purchase GM seeds in the market. In conclusion, the role of seed dealers is indispensable in achieving the optimum resource allocation, to maintain the beneficial patent system for bio-majors and farmers.</p>

大規模な農業補助が農業生産コストの増やすことを刺激する,さらに農製品の市場価格を推進でいる.本論文では,時系列データを用い,共和分分析方法による中国の農業補助金政策が中国コメ市場価格に及ぼす影響を分析した.その結果としては,近年間実施している農業補助金は増加させると,コメ価格は上昇することになると指摘できる.さらに,推測結果から農業補助金によるコメ価格への影響は大きくないことであると分かった.また,長期的見れば,農業補助金が10%の増加により,コメ価格は0.41%の上昇をもたらすことが計測できた.

An econometric study of the technical efficiency of agriculture in the Soviet Union before its collapse has not been done so far. In this paper, an attempt is made to measure the technical efficiency of agriculture for 15 republic countries of the Soviet Union from 1960 to 1990. We calculated four measurements of technical efficiency, ROIN, PTE, SE and MIX, and determined whether they converged or not. The measured total technical efficiency ROIN showed that these values were all very low and continued to decrease until 1990, just before the collapse of the Soviet Union. We also checked the degree of convergence of these efficiencies, but found that most of them did not converge but instead diverged. The fall of the Soviet Union would be explained by many factors. Our study was able to show that the large scale agriculture conducted in Russia like kolkhoz and sovkhoz was very inefficient, and that the efficiency went from bad to worse over time. Therefore, they could not control the agriculture of other countries even if they had them adopt the same agricultural policy as that applied in the Soviet Union. In this paper, we showed that agricultural inefficiencies of 15 republic countries were one of the reasons why the Soviet Union collapsed, by using the above econometric measurements.

The purpose of this study is to identify the distinctiveness of the fisheries foreign trade in East Asia (Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asian countries). First, the dynamic change observed in the fisheries trade is explained with a focus on international division of labor in the fisheries and processing industries, and on an ever-increasing demand for fisheries products, driven by economic growth. Second, those appropriate systems and procedures in fisheries and processing businesses that would be required for achieving international competitiveness are discussed. The expansion of good aquaculture practice (GAP) is a controversial issue in global aquaculture development because of a perceived negative impact on small-scale farmers. However, in Thailand, the government has encouraged shrimp farmers to adopt GAP procedures in collaboration with the shrimp processing companies since the mid-1990s. Supported by extension services and research institutions, the farmers have invested considerable effort to improve their GAP-based aquaculture. Export-oriented processing companies have also accepted several certifications, including HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point), GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), and ISO. In East Asian countries like Thailand, fisheries and processing industries have systematized a part of the “farm to table” concept for food safety. Such a strategic approach substantially contributes in further development of the industries.

The Kinoeki Project is a community activity in which small forest owners sell logging residues they have collected. This study clarifies the actual conditions and the problems of the Kinoeki Project, and considers the sustainability and significance of the project. According to our questionnaire survey, registered forest owners comprise approximately 10% or less of all forest owners in most of the study area. Of 18 organizations, six chose “administration without relying on subsidies” as a problem of the project. In all areas, the Kinoeki Project has a deficit balance, after deducting subsidies from income. This means that the project is financially unstable. According to our break-even analysis, it is necessary to sell collected logging residues as wood fuel at a high price in order to increase the number of collected logs and to reduce the purchase price.

There are three purposes to this paper. First, I survey the process and mechanism of the rapid economic growth over the last three decades in China. Second, the nature of growth and structural change in Chinese agriculture over this period are clarified using official data. And third, I analyze the trends and main features of Chinese trade in agricultural products, especially between China and Japan. The main conclusion is that Japan should recognize China as an increasingly important factor in the realization of Japanese food security, as economic interdependence is becoming stronger and stronger between the two countries.

The Japanese government introduced the Farmland, Water and Environmental Conservation Improvement Scheme (CIS) in 2007, with the aim of promoting collective stewardship of common pool resources (CPRs) and enhancing agricultural multi-functionality. In order for rural communities to participate in this scheme, they have to meet requirements and sign a contract with the government outlining the scope of collective action for maintaining CPRs. In this paper, we measure the treatment effect of the CIS using propensity score matching methods. Some framed field experiments in the previous literature show that extrinsic motivations such as payments or punishments for participants may not enhance collective stewardship because exter­nal intervention crowds out or undermines partici­pants’ intrinsic motivation, based on social norms and reciprocity, to cooperate. Our empirical study conducted in Shiga Prefecture, however, reveals that there is a causal effect of CIS participation for increasing collective action, suggesting that the CIS is instrumental in conserving farmland, agricultural canal, pond, and irrigation facilities. Another important finding is that pre-existing social capital fostered by community members is positively correlated with their participation in the CIS.

The aim of this paper is to ascertain qualities of life and culture capital that is the foundation of community affluence, based on case analysis of folkloric performing arts and traditional local cuisine. The analysis shows that 1) residents maintain life and culture capital by carefully observing the essential elements for handing down of tradition using their own judgment criteria, 2) there exists multiple collective memories per life and culture capital in a community to produce “time affluence”, and 3) various collective memories function as a motivation for carrying on the tradition and are developing life and culture capital.

This paper examines the present situation of in-situ conservation of traditional vegetable varieties in Nara Prefecture, and how local producers reproduce original seeds of Yuzaki Nebuka (onion) and Katahira Akane (red turnip) to retain geographical authenticity of the products. Local Japan Agricultural Cooperatives (JA) play a vital role in collecting, storing, and allocating the seeds of Yuzaki Nebuka. In the case of Katahira Akane, however, villagers organize a competition for the turnip every year, in which plants of good quality are selected to multiply, as an attempt to conserve good seeds. However, there are few successors of both crops, partly because these brands are too narrowly defined in terms of producing areas. This implies that some flexibility is needed in order to establish geographical legitimacy and implement an effective in-situ conservation of traditional vegetables.
