Small-scale peasant management-per capita arable land is less, taking the family as the unit, and each household has less arable land.
The yield per unit area is high, but the commodity rate is low-intensive cultivation by farmers makes the yield per unit area higher; However, the farming scale of each household is very small, and the total rice output of each household is not large. Due to the restriction of traditional ideas and economic level, a considerable part of the rice collected by farmers is reserved for family rations and livestock feed, and is rarely sold in the market.
Low level of mechanization-small land and low economic level, farmers can complete farm work by their own labor. Japan has a high degree of mechanization.
A large number of water conservancy projects-irrigation is the basis of rice production. Frequent floods and droughts in monsoon region pose a great threat to rice production.
Direction:
Expand the scale of operation, improve the level of mechanization and science and technology, and improve the commodity rate.
