本研究では，鹿児島県指宿市を事例に，野菜生産法人がどのように産地内の農家や集出荷組織と関わりながら農地と労働力を確保し，供給量を調整しているのかを明らかにすることで，脱産地化の現象を捉えた．農地の確保では，農業後継者は産地内の地縁を利用し，一方，新規就農者は地域内の活動を通じて積極的に農家と関わることで，相互の信頼を得て農地を借り入れている．労働力の確保では，野菜生産法人は産地内の労働力不足を背景に，経営者や職員の交友関係に基づく地縁を利用して，20歳代から30歳代の農業未経験者を雇用している．また，大規模経営の野菜生産法人は技能実習生を受け入れて，労働力不足を補っている．供給量調整の面では，野菜生産法人は加工業者や飲食店に規格外品を出荷し，集出荷組織や卸売市場との取引で出荷量の過不足を調整している．一方，大規模経営の野菜生産法人の場合には，契約取引先が供給量の調整役を担っている．すなわち，野菜生産法人は農家との社会関係を強めて農地を確保しているが，経営規模の拡大が進むにつれて，労働力や供給量調整の面では農家や既存の集出荷組織との社会関係は薄れつつある．

This study explained restructuring of the vegetable region in Ibusuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture by clarifying whether production companies are able to secure farmlands and work force and adjust supply while associating with shipment organizations. By securing farmlands, the agricultural successors utilize the territorial relationships between the farmhouses in the production center, while new agricultural workers establish mutual trust with farmhouses and are positively concerned about the activities in the area and borrow farmland. Vegetable production companies employ an agriculturally inexperienced person in his/her 20s and 30s from the territorial relations including friends and acquaintances of the manager and the staff because of the lack of workforce in the production center, while large-scale vegetable production companies accept a skilled trainee to make up for the lack of workforce. About the aspect of supply adjustment, vegetable production companies ship their non-standard produce to a processor and the restaurants and make adjustments about surplus and shortage of the volume of shipment with shipment organizations and the wholesale market. On the other hand, in case of large-scale vegetable production companies, a contract business partner manages the supply adjustment. In other words, the vegetables production companies strengthen social relationships with the farmhouses by securing farmland. However, this aspect of social relationships with farmhouse and shipment organizations is fading from the work force and supply adjustment with the expansion of the management scale.
