Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study is to recognize how the large-scale farms in Japan have developed with the help of full-time workers. Especially the corporate farms in Kagawa Prefecture show their rapid expansion by mixing staffs of Japanese workers and the technical intern trainees from abroad. Their business strategy like the independent operation of different division of companies makes them able to accept the number of trainees which they need, against the quantum system of training program that each farm has the limit number of trainees in proportion to the number of Japanese full-time workers.
