Description

<p>The aim of this paper is to focus on the development policies of the Manchurian government, which was under Japanese control, regarding Japanese immigration. Japanese immigration into Manchuria in the 1930s and 1940s has been examined only from the viewpoint of Japanese domestic matters and nobody has as yet looked at it from the perspective of agricultural policy and agricultural production in Manchuria. The development policies of the Manchurian government had frequently changed because to the Second Sino-Japanese War and the clashes between Japan and the Soviet Union along the Manchurian-Soviet border. After the outbreak of the Second World War in Europe in 1939, efforts to achieve food self-sufficiency within the yen block were put into effect and the agricultural administration in Manchuria was enlarged. Agricultural production in Manchuria, however, faced serious problems, such as diminishing fertility and labor shortages. Policymakers had to try and innovate farming system to overcome these structural problems. It was at that very time that a ray of hope emerged for agricultural policymakers in Manchuria. Farming technology in Hokkaido was beginning to offer potential solutions to the problems being faced by Japanese settlers in Manchuria.</p>
