Abstract

This paper focuses on the management objectives and sales strategies in family farms immediately after succession, specifically analyzing a family farm in its third year of succession in Kuriyama Town, Hokkaido. The study reveals the practicalities and challenges of sales strategies based on management objectives. Additionally, considering potential constraints on future business resources, the paper discusses prospective directions for development. In the case study, the family farm management realized these objectives by coordinating multiple sales channels and adjusts strategies based on the objectives of "profit assurance" and "growth & customer creation." In the process of developing sales channels, the management objectives and the corresponding sales channel acquisition did not progress step by step, and flexible responses according to the life stage of the family business were observed. A challenge identified is the complexity of business management due to the expansion of sales channels, and measures are required in preparation for the potential retirement of the parent generation. Future management development may be directed towards reducing the management burden by rationalizing internal management structures and grouping producers.
