Abstract

<p>This study uses individual data from an agricultural census to analyze factors influencing the choice of agricultural farms to continue their businesses related to agricultural production. The scope of these businesses ranged from farm product processing to pick-your-own farms, farm restaurants, and farm inns. We classified farms into types such as “continuing,” “ceased,” and “newly started” based on the status of their businesses, and compared their scale of agricultural production, the degree of their business diversification, and their location. Additionally, we conducted a logistic regression analysis with the continuation of the business as the dependent variable. The study’s results are as follows: （1） Small-scale family-owned farm management entities were most likely to end an agriculture-related business even if they continued agricultural production; （2） The number of business sections has increased among farms that chose to continue the business. Among them, some family-owned farm management entities had transformed into organized management entities; and （3） The proportion of farms continuing the business is high among the farms located in areas with a concentration of businesses related to agricultural production.</p>
