| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this study is to clarify the effects of Farmers’ Income Support Direct Payment Program on rice farm size expansion. The program, a set of a direct payment and rice production adjustment is voluntarily participated by rice farmers. The results are as follows: (1) the program is more generous support for middle-size farms than large-size farms, and is considered to disturb the improvement of the agricultural structure through the expansion of farm size; (2) about a half reduction of the participation rate brings drops of rice price and farmland rent in the first year, and almost stable levels of rice price after the second year and of farmland rent after the third year; (3) then, transfer of farmland held by small-size farms whose rice farming incomes are negative to middle- and large-size farms can increase incomes of middle- and large-size farms, resulting in expanding rice farm size.
