Japan: Japan Implements Agricultural Competitiveness Reinforcement Programs

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Following the establishment of a set of agricultural reform measures, known as the “Agricultural Competitiveness Reinforcement Program” in November 2016 (see JA6065), Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) submitted eight bills to the Diet to implement the reform programs. The eight bills were passed by the Diet during the 193rd session (which ended on June 18, 2017). The agricultural reform programs aim to improve the environment to increase agricultural producer income and to facilitate the reorganization of the agriculture-related industry (with a goal of decreasing farm production costs).
