Abstract: Abstract Agriculture has played an extremely critical role in Japan’s transition to a leading industrial power. As mentioned in Chapter 1, it not only provided the country with food and export goods (such as silk) but in the early Meiji period (around 1880) it furnished the state with 91 per cent of its direct tax revenues.
