Abstract

This paper focus on farmland obtaining for new farmers in orcharding. It is difficult for new farmers in orcharding to obtain farmlands because of its long foster period and the risk of profitable expenses, unlike other items. For this problem，we analyzed that who mediate farmlands between the landowner and the new farmer from the view point of the length of contract and the price of lease based on field investigation. As a result, we found that new farmers had to contract without help of agricultural cooperative staff or acceptant farmer and are on the weak position in contracting. In this way, the specific problem in orcharding has been left in the area that accepts new famer limited to orcharding yet.
