| Research Abstract |
This study has found the following important facts and analyzed them.
Firstly, we found that there are three important types of community farming organizations as the most general form of the local agricultural cooperation organizations. Namely, the producer cooperation organization by a small number of leading farmers in the Tohoku (the northeast Japan) and the other regions ; the community farming organizations established by most of the community members generally found in the Nishinippon regions (the west Japan) ; and the rice-conversion crop customwork organization typically found in the Tohoku and the Kitakyushu (the northern Kyushu).
Secondly, many of the local agricultural cooperation organization are based on Shuraku, or the traditional rural communities, or Oaza, or the units of a few such rural communities. However, some of these organizations have recently merged with each other or expanded their territory for survival under such changes as aging operators, higher performance

of the machines and equipments, and decreasing number of managing members.
Thirdly, as the farm income stabilization program has started, in addition that the institutional design and accounting system become complicated, the supports by local governments and agricultural cooperatives (JAs) become indispensable for establishment of these organizations. Some cases can be found where the local governments and the JA put their supporting offices together in response to the local demand. Even in certain cases, they have established brand new integrated organizations such as the regional agricultural supporting centers.
Fourthly, the community farming organizations are proliferating with such supporting mechanisms on the one hand, and in order to meet the eligibility requirement of the farm income stabilization program on the other. However, there are many established on the weak basis, of which future is still concerned.
Finally, although the role of the local agricultural cooperation organization is large in the reorganization of agriculture, promotional policy should be carefully designed, respecting the local autonomy. Less
