Japan: Major Cropland Support Payment Programs Operated by MAFF

This report summarizes the major cropland support payment programs operated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF). MAFF’s support payment programs have long focused on shifting production within paddy fields from table rice to other crops, including rice for other purposes, to better reflect domestic demand for a diverse range of agricultural products. MAFF continues to provide support to table rice producers through a year-round supply and demand purchasing system that limits price fluctuations and an income stabilization safety net program. In addition, MAFF operates a revenue insurance program and an agricultural mutual relief insurance program for all producers.
