| Research Abstract |
In order to cope with international competition, Japanese agriculture is facing with various difficulties. These are basically two alternatives to deal with these objectives. One is to reduce and cut down production costs ; the other being to increase the value-added part to the side of agriculture. This research is to inquire the latter subject, i. e., how to raise value-addedness in Japanese agriculture.
Both theoretical and empirical researches have been done in order to examine the significonce and possibility of enhancing value-added to agricultural production, processing and marketing. The key variables for the success of this strategies are the proper collection of information on changing consumer needs and the explotation of demand expertion.
