| Research Abstract |
The final report of the research project, "An Economic Study of the Characteristics of the International and National Rice Markets and Policies, " supported by a research grant of the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture of the Japanese government during fiscal years of 1995,1996 and 1997 (Grant Number 07660290) was published. My English Papers published from the research results of the current research project and published from the research of other research projects but related to the research topic of the current research project are compiled in this volume. This publication will inform to the Japanese and foreign researchers such characteristics of the international and national rice markets as thinness, uncertainty and unreliability of the international rice trade market and the strong tendency in the rice policies of Asian countries for attaining and maintaining rice self-sufficiency and stabilization of domestic rice price and supply. I believe that these characteristics of international rice market and of rice policies of Asian countries, who produce about 90% of the world total rice production and where the world starved concentrate, imply the need for considerable modification of the idea of the benefit of free trade that has oriented the recent international agricultural trade negotiations.
