Abstract
In this paper the author tries to clarify the agrarian problems under the Paddy Field Reorientation Program through surveying some cases. Major conclusions are as follow.
1） The Paddy Field Reorientation Program has brought about a kind of “rice production right.” The rent of paddy field as the price of rice production right rose up to the same level of rice production income. As the result, the rent of paddy field is becoming complicated.
2） In some case, tenant need not to pay the rent from his production income to the landowner, because he can earn it from the subsidies for production adjustment. It means that the lease of this kind derives from the administration's policy for diversification imposed on the rice producers.
3） Under production adjustment, the trend of farmers’ differentiation is changing. Part-time farmers have lost their intention towards farming.
