| Research Abstract |
In this study, we tried to illuminate the connection between the market and family farms in Japan and China. To compare the two countries, we were engaged in researches of enterprises, local governments, regional residents organizations, farmers and so on, by the case-study method, that is interview method. We have made analyses of the linkage of the cooperative association or the enterprise with family farms.
In Japan, there is the linkage of agricultural cooperative association-corporate body in hamlet-family farm. In this case, however, organizations have been extended out of villege. In China, there is the linkage of head enterprise-agricultural cooperative society-family farm. In this case, through the agricultural industrialization, green vegitable production are on the increase.
Both in Japan and in China, today's agricultural production and distribution diversifies in various fields. The intermediate organizations, which connect the market with family farms, rise in importance on the regional network in rural community. Because the rural community changes gradually by the penetration of monetary economy.
Especially, the agricultural cooperative association and the agricultural cooperative society are the key to the question of the regional network.
