This study analyzes the characteristics of financial burden for the rice production adjustment policy of FY2018. The distribution of subsidies by the government has the following three characteristics. First of all, the rice crop diversion subsidies as a whole is skewed, similar to previous similar policies. Second, the percentage of subsidies that can be used freely varies widely from prefecture to prefecture. This allocation method has the role of adjusting the total amount of grants. Third, the planting trends of the previous year and the current year affect the distribution. The distribution by prefecture has the following three characteristics. First, there is a large regional disparity in distribution among the 15 prefectures. Secondly, the previous year's cropping trends affect distribution. Third, the additional allocations vary by region. As mentioned above, in FY 2018, when the new rice policy was started, the discretion of the national and prefectural governments is still involved in rice production adjustment.
