Abstract

Eight years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake. In the areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, early-starting management entities have already reached their seventh year, and are facing different challenges from the start-up stage, such as the consolidation of agricultural land and agricultural facilities, technology, and business management. In this paper, we first use statistical data to understand the restoration situation and the state of new farm leaders in the tsunami-affected areas of Miyagi Prefecture, and further examine the direction and issues of farming development based on examples. Then we close up on corporate management, and list six corporations as examples. I pointed out four important issues. First, it is necessary to invest in machinery and equipment at an appropriate time, second, the need for new sales channels, third, securing successors, finally, the need for involving the related organizations and new support.
