The Act on Interim Measures concerning Subsidies for Soybean and Rapeseed was implemented in 1961. Since then, producers have not received subsidies for soybean production when selling soybeans directly to processors. Processors’supply shortages have been resolved throughimports. Since 2007, the cell agricultural cooperative has been selling soybeans as “koufukin-daizu” to processors. Agricultural Products Inspection (API) plays an important role in product distribution and determines the product value standard based on appearance quality. However, processors want component information about soybeans to confirm processing suitability, revealing a discrepancy in product value between API and the processors. Supplying information on the contents of proteins and sugars in soybeans will improve soybean product distribution.
