Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, We clarified the condition for the wide area circulation of rice WCS. On the distribution side, first,the accumulation of the farm land is a necessary condition. We made clear that degree of the accumulation of the farmland prescribed a circulation sphere. In addition,
Regarding a condition in the commercial distribution, it is important that the existence the firm produce rice WCS by oneself. Second, it is important the existence of the person of merchandising to mediate those firms and livestock management. Because an adjustment function of the quality becomes important in the wide area circulation. However, from a point of view called the restraint of the distribution cost, We proposed that direct trade not to go through a person of merchandising was desirable as possible.
