Japan concluded the MSA Section 550 agreement in 1954 and this is regarded as a trigger for the dependence on US agricultural commodities. This paper aims to examine the negotiation process and to explain the reason for the failure of the Section 402 agreement after 1954. For the recipient country, whereas the Section 550 agreement had the advantage of a combination of military and economic aid, the Section 402 agreement had little economic merit because the US plan was triangular trade with developing countries. The failure of the Section 402 agreement refutes the claim that the Section 550 agreement provoked Japan’s dependence on US food imports.
