| Research Abstract |
This research looked out over the stability of supply and demand structure about the feed cereals in the United States and northeastern Asia, focusing on the management behavior of agribusiness as subject of supply and demand. The movement of the self-sufficient Chinese rate influences not only the relation of supply and demand in northeastern Asia but also the world. A self-sufficient rate relates to the difference of price at home and abroad, price level of the country, the domestic relation of supply and demand and so on. And the domestic relation of supply and demand is decided by the movement of the supply and demand and an agricultural policy.

So middle class of family farm are decreasing sharply. The same situation is presumed even China due to the growth of agribusiness in future. When China comes to make use of overseas markets so that it may adjust a domestic price, an influence on Japan and South Korea depending on import is big. In that case, we will have to pay attention more from now on what kind of influence is given to a Chinese feed cereals production farmhouse and a livestock breeding farmhouse in Japan and South Korea. It is connected with the decline of the self-sufficient rate that agricultural structure becomes unstable. Less
