During the two decades 1960-1980 the Japanese government was faced with a problem of declining domestic demand for rice and a persistent over-production which created mounting surpluses stored at public expense. In an attempt to remedy the situation the Japanese government imposed production controls on rice and offered incentives to farmers to grow alternative crops such as wheat. This thesis outlines the Japanese government's concern about food self-sufficiency and how this concern may be reflected in the government's wheat and rice pricing policies. The thesis evaluates the producer and consumer welfare losses due to this pricing policy. The thesis further evaluates associated economic costs of increasing self-sufficiency in wheat through other policy variables including income, producer price and land availability. The impacts on self-sufficiency in rice if Japan were to become 100 percent self sufficient in wheat production are also estimated. The methodology adopted was an extension of Bales and Greenshield's model to evaluate welfare loss. Transportation rates were calculated using a freight rate model developed by Clement. Prices for wheat and rice were derived from Japanese government, Food and Agricultural Organization, and USDA sources. Three methods were used to evaluate the associated cost of increasing self-sufficiency in wheat. The first method estimated the increase in total household income resulting from a one percent increase in the production of rice and wheat. The second determined the increase in the producer price of wheat necessary to equate the incomes of wheat and rice producers. The third method evaluated the potential of achieving 100 percent self-sufficiency in wheat production, and the effects this would have on the self-sufficiency ratio of rice. The study found that as a percent of Japanese Gross Domestic Product, social welfare losses resulting from the self-sufficiency policy were less than one percent for both rice and wheat. As a percentage of total expenditures on the two commodities, however, average welfare losses were 41 percent for rice and 118 percent for wheat. The introduction of the production control program increased the welfare losses for both wheat and rice. Criteria developed to measure the costs of increasing the self-sufficiency in rice found that the potential income from growing rice exceeds that of wheat, despite the production control program and incentives to farmers to grow wheat. The study estimated that producer prices of wheat would have to be raised from ten to five hundred percent to equate rice and wheat producers' incomes. The study also showed that a goal of 100 percent self-sufficiency in wheat production would have been unobtainable in the years following 1962, even if the potential divertable rice land was used for wheat production. The self-sufficiency ratio of rice, however, would remain above 100 percent for all years but three. Thus, it appears that the welfare losses due to the pricing policy are large while the potential to expand the production of wheat is limited under the Japanese policy.

Few nations rely upon the ocean as much as Japan for livelihood, culture and transport. The seas have long played a vital role for the Japanese, helping to support the economic and social life of a nation that possesses few resources and little arable land, and sustain a population that has nearly tripled in the last century. Fish are a distinctive feature of the Japanese diet, constituting nearly half of all animal protein consumed – the highest rate in the world. The industry itself has provided an impetus for coastal community growth and national economic development over the past century, while fisheries have worked their way into Japanese culture and customs, serving as a dominant symbol in traditional arts and folklore. This book explores the overarching rationale that motivated Japanese international fisheries policy throughout the post-war period until today, highlighting the importance of international fisheries to Japan and the stature this resource has occupied as a national interest. It provides a comparative view of Japanese foreign policy at various ocean conferences, treaty negotiations, bilateral diplomatic initiatives and other maritime relations that constitute ocean policy over half a century, and investigates the domestic constituents of national policy. Roger Smith argues that the rationale for international fisheries policy may be best viewed as deriving from Japan’s unique defence strategy for its national interests: comprehensive security. Encompassing non-military elements and most importantly defence of economic interests, Japan’s international fisheries policy provides an interesting case study of how comprehensive security is conceptualised and carried out. Taking a broad view of Japan’s international fisheries policies from 1945 to the present, this book highlights the key trends in policy motives and means throughout the post-war period. As such, it will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese studies, international and environmental law, resource management and international relations, as well as to policy makers working in the field.

A major paradox in the political economy of Japan is why an enduring majority of citizens, as voters, consumers, and taxpayers, has explicitly supported or implicitly consented to a policy regime of agricultural protection that reduces material welfare and limits consumer choice. This book goes beyond standard political economy approaches that focus on self-interest pursuit by policy actors to contend that ideational factors are an important explanatory variable shaping the policy preferences of individuals towards agriculture and agricultural policy in Japan. The book traces the historical origins of ideas about agriculture, particularly those associated with the nōhonshugi tradition, and offers an original taxonomy classifying the development of agrarian thought from the Tokugawa era until the 1930s. It then analyses postwar media portrayals of agriculture in public policy debates around the 1961 and 1999 agricultural ‘basic laws’, charting the evolution of both economic and non-economic ideas in those periods. Finally, it investigates the predominant ideas held about agriculture by individuals today, as evidenced through public opinion survey data, and demonstrates that concerns about health and food safety, food self-sufficiency, and the environment strongly outweigh economic welfare considerations. The study concludes by examining developments in agricultural policy under the Abe administration in the context of these predominant ideas, and considers how those ideas could be operationalised in agricultural policy responses to major crises including the coronavirus pandemic and climate change.
