Abstract: Abstract Ever since 1961, when the Agricultural Basic Act was established, achieving large-scale, more efficient and productive farming has become a major concern in Japanese agriculture. In particular, this concern has been amplified in recent years due mainly to pressures by foreign countries for liberalizing Japanese markets of agricultural commodities. Consequently, it has been considered most essential to promote a transition from small- to large-scale farms. Along this line of thought, various policy measures have been introduced by the government: revisions of the Farmland Act in 1970 and 1980; launching of the Farmland Utilization Promotion Project in 1975; establishment of the Farmland Utilization Promotion Act in 1980; establishment of new policies on the Directions of Policies Concerning New Food, Agriculture, and Farm Villages in 1992; and the launch of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in 1995.
