The Certified Farmer System has been the basic support system for farmers since 1993. However, issues including insufficient follow-up in improving the management situation have been prevalent.

The author has continuously examined the possibility of changing this support system into a stratified support system to further improve the management situation even after certification. This stratified support system is a support measure mechanism that is being introduced into certified farming on a step-by-step basis. The contents of the support measures vary depending on the managerial ability or attainment level of the certified farmer. As a basic research in support of establishing a stratified support system, this study aimed to verify the changes in the necessary support systems based on level of managerial ability, sales of agricultural products and years of managerial experience.

The analysis of factor scores and sales by support measures revealed that the managerial ability was proportionally parallel with the necessary support measures. In terms of by-commodity, the growth process of management by land use type was shown to be proportional, while the management by facility type was“ dual-track.” Therefore, the difficulty in deriving linear curves in relation to managerial ability and farm size has been clarified.

Furthermore, the relationship analysis of years of managerial experience and management support measures isolated several groups. One group received management support measures not in accordance with their managerial ability. Another group had a diffusive form of management support measure in relation to their ability factor scores.

In general, when establishing concrete management support measures, there seems to be a need not only respond to the participant’s immediate concern, but to establish a comprehensive plan of the support details, which will lead to improvements in managerial ability.
