Abstract

We investigate the profi tability of self-sufficiency from a general point of view by analyzing self-sufficiency ratio and cost performance in Kanto, Tokai area. From the results of analyses using survey data collected in Awa area, it was clarified that, dairy farming on paddy fields holding the subsidy for change of crop, and the price of self-sufficient feed is more expensive than in other areas. Present problems of Awa area are the difficulty in getting rights of chained cultivated paddy fields and short age of labor for feed stock. We need urgent reinforce ment of the bounty for land use and coodination of farm land use to eliminate purchased feed. For this, policymakers such as administrative organs, and local offices should make a joint effort to solve these problems. The only way to continue dairy management is to eliminate purchased feed and manage feed through the land.
