Taking the development of organic agriculture in Japan, the USA and European countries into consideration, I focused on the marketing system of organic agricultural products of today and its problems, mainly on labelling and standards. Most of the standards in Japan are being influenced by market-oriented traders, producers and local governments. Theses standards aim at the distinction of products just after the amount of chemical use like pesticides. Furthermore, compared to those of the USA and European countries, the Japanese standards and even the guidelines made by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries have serious problems; they have definitions too ambigous in the whole. To adapt to the widespread market of organic agricultural products, the USA and European countries introduced a legislation of unified standards on the US and EC levels. In the process of the unification, it harmonized the level of standards but this brought new problems; the failure of the principle of organic agriculture and the relaxation of regulation for chemical use against diseases and insects. While production and supply of organic agricultural products have increased and the relationship between producers and consumers become more indirect in the expanding and borderless market, the premium of organic agricultural products is set lower than before and fake products are brought to the market. It is a common issue in Japan and the western countries how to create an appropriate distribution system to promote and expand organic agriculture. From this viewpoint, a community supported agriculture (CSA), a distribution system very similar to the "teikei" system in Japan, has come to call attention now. There are also various kinds of ways and challenges for "alternative marketing" as local market, farmers market, direct purchase and others. It indicates the future direction to the marketing system of organic agricultural products.

Increasing problems concerning pesticide residue have emerged. In a similar trend, problems concerning the detection of unauthorized additives has emerged. The importation of plums exemplifies such problems. This paper clarifies aspects of the raw procurement and quality control systems of a Chinese enterprise, T company. T company uses a broker mediation system where the broker both manages procurement and is the farmer of the plum trees. The plum tree processing of T company is not a system that can accommodate the manufacturing process. If a problem occurs, the cause of that problem is not ascertained, increasing the difficulty of solving the problem. Moreover, product quality is not inspected up to the stage where the product is exported, therefore the discovery of problems is difficult at early stages.

The oil crisis of 2008 had severe implications for many agricultural farms and companies. Farmers, in particular, were distressed by the increasing costs for greenhouse heating and agricultural materials. This is seen as a structural problem in Japan, as farmers cannot determine the prices of own products on the basis of cost. In response, JA-Miyazaki (Federation of Miyazaki Prefectural Economic and Agricultural Co-operative) started an oil surcharge system for agriculture to overcome the problem. This paper considers this structural problem from economic and organizational viewpoints, and evaluates the oil surcharge system of JA-Miyazaki in order to clarify its importance and problems. The paper concludes that, because the scale of farms are not large enough to control the entire supply chain of their products and they are unable to form partnerships, Japanese farmers cannot overcome such structural problems. The paper also notes that the oil surcharge system of JA-Miyazaki succeeded, owing primarily to the excellence of the staff. Lasly, the paper notes that from now, the necessity of the risk hedges such as oil surcharge systems will be increasing.

Depopulation and Population Ageing in Japanese rural area are seriously progressing. In response, the concept of 'Social Capital (SC)' is attracting attention as the new means of facing these problems. The importance of SC is found in its potential for developing effects of the life of people and economy. Among of urban-rural exchange, 'Working Holiday in rural area (WH)' also carries out important tasks. WH means giving lodging and meals for city dwellers for free in exchange for working on a farm during busy seasons. It is said that farmers can get many opportunities to reappraise the value of their area seen through city dwellers eyes as compared to another urban-rural exchange on the basis of sharing time with the visitors, the so-called 'Mirror Effect' of WH. Therefore, this article conducted analysis of change of local communities from the point of view of SC using two questionnaire surveys and examples of WH in Tankou area, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. As a conclusion, four changes of local communities are confirmed as 'Mirror Effect' of WH. First, the potential of accumulating of SC in area and, second, vitalization of local communities. Third, expansion of new community activities and, finally, a reappraisal of the value of agriculture and rural area.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the relationship of cyclical fluctuation between cocoon prices and cocoon production from 1982 to 1994. Both the former and the latter were treated by statistical analysis. At first, the use of coefficient of correlation was used. Next in use of ALMON'S LAG was used to calculate the result. As result, the influence of cocoon production against cocoon price appeared one year after most strongly and next, two years after. Namely, in comparing from 1955 to 1981 and from 1982 to 1994, it appears that the correspondense of price in the latter is stronger than in the former. Finally, it is induced that sericultural farm households have given consideration to four facters for cocoon production, namely : 1) fluctuation of cocoon prices, 2) more opportunity of getting cash income from non agricultural works, 3) sericultural income in comparison with other field products and 4) improvement of productivity in cocoon production.

The 'Farm-Supermarket Connection' is a policy in China that operates to promote farmers, farmer's co-operatives, and supermarket's undertaking direct transactions. The policy has seen many meaningful achievements. However, the supermarket sector has grown too large relative to farmers and, as such, the supermarket sector's buying power is damaging the 'Farm-Supermarket Connection' development. Specifically, supermarkets began to collect a 'slotting fee' from farmer's co-operatives, which seriously damaged the existing 'Farm-Supermarket Connection.' In order to solve this problem, the Chinese government has issued several new legislative points.

The aim of this paper is to reconsider the concept of "modern estate ownership" and to suggest a new approach of the farm land problem by dividing farm land into land systems and tenant systems. In the past, land problems were viewed in terms of the relationship between landowner and tenant farmer. The establishment of tenant rights, in particular, was considered one of the main elements of "modern estate ownership." The farm Land problem in Japan, therefore, has been seen as an incomplete modernization of estate ownership. However, this thinking has overlooked the fact that private land ownership was established after the Meiji Restoration and that Japanese capitalism was generally developed under the regime of private ownership. Moreover, this thinking has also ignored the difference between the many small land owners in Japan and the large holdings of aristocratic landlords in Britain. Thus, we should deal with farm land problems as one part of a land system that was already established in particular historical context and also as a part of a tenant system in which the relationship between land owner and tenant farmer rested on commercial base. In that sense, we must recognize that land systems in different countries are affected by different natural conditions. We must also pay more attention to the situation of both landowners and tenants under the circumstance where capitalistic accumulation in the manufacturing sector affected peasant agriculture.
