    This study elucidated the cause of the stagnation of Japanese Shorthorn production, and the production area marketing that matched them. There are two conclusions from conducting detailed case studies in Japan's largest production region and its largest sales destination. First, it was true that even one of Japan's leading buyers was not able to buy high due to sluggish sales, and the quantity purchased was greatly reduced. For this reason, Japanese Shorthorn producers could not obtain stable profits unless they also increased the proportion of Japanese black cattle raised. Secondly, although the scale is still limited, the new production area marketing has formulated an All-Win approach that benefits all parties. With this approach, the largest meat distributor in the production area will build a new route for stocking short-horn cattle stock from the largest sales outlets that are not selling well and strengthen sales for each meat part.

    After implementation in 2007 of China's first 'Law on Farmers' Specialized Cooperatives,' the number and scale of Agricultural Machinery Service Organizations (AMSOs) have increased. Within these AMSOs, Agricultural Machinery Specialized Cooperatives (AMSCs) have taken on a most important role in increasing the level of mechanization in food-producing areas. A particularly pressing issue for the AMSCs in their pursuit of efficiency is the need for the consolation and rationalization of the scattered and small-scale holdings that are common in rural areas today. This paper takes up the RF Agricultural Machinery Cooperative in Heilongjiang Province, the main grain producing area in China, as a case study. It analyzes the process of farmland accumulation through land investment as well as the changes in dividend policy.
