Market impacts of Japanese rice policies with and without supply control

Article Abstract:

The impact of Japan's current supply control policy, the rice acreage reduction program (ARP), was studied using an imperfect competition model that simulates farm revenues with and without the ARP. Findings suggest that the current ARP increases farmers' revenue by 600 to 1,000 billion yen, as against the no-supply-control policy. Rice farmers are thus benefiting from ARP, contrary to popular belief. The market impacts of a loan rate system without supply control is also investigated.
