Effectiveness and Economic Efficiency of Transforming Fisheries to the Sixth Industry

Abstract

Although solving various problems and promoting the region have been important policy themes for a long time, the Japanese fishing community continues to lose its vitality. The government has employed a variety of measures in recent years to transform fisheries through the sixth industrialization, without much success. One of the causes for this is a lack of cooperation between fishermen and related businesses. Therefore, at this symposium, we will discuss cooperation between fisheries and related businesses from the perspective of the sixth industrialization of fisheries, paying special attention to the effectiveness and economic efficiency.
