Abstract
We have compiled information based on the latest data from 2022 on agricultural gross revenue and income from paddy field farming. The gross agricultural income of farmers with more than 100 hectares of paddy fields can reach up to 185 million yen. This shows that large-scale rice paddy management is economically advantageous. Gross agricultural revenue includes income from crops and receipts from mutual aid and subsidies, etc., which helps to diversify sources of income. In particular, rice is Japan’s main crop and plays an important role in meeting domestic demand. In recent years, technological innovation and efficiency in agriculture have progressed, leading to reductions in labor and production costs. In addition, the use of subsidies and mutual aid systems in paddy field management is common, and they play an important role as stabilizing measures in preparation for natural disasters and fluctuations in market conditions. These support measures reduce farmers’ revenue risks and support sustainable agricultural management. In general, while paddy field farming requires advanced management and technological investment, there is also potential for increased profits through large-scale management. Looking to the future, the challenges will be to promote sustainable agriculture and improve productivity, but with appropriate policy support and technological innovation, it is hoped that paddy field management will become more stable and develop.
Gross agricultural revenue
When organizing the characteristics and trends of gross agricultural revenue in paddy field farming based on data from 2019 to 2022, 2022 was a noteworthy year, as large-scale paddy field operators achieved gross revenue of up to 185 million yen. This represents 100% growth from previous peaks. Over the past few years, the trend in rice paddy management has been toward improving profitability thanks to technological innovation and improvements in management efficiency. Larger operators, in particular, are able to take advantage of economies of scale to increase productivity and boost profits. The introduction of precision agriculture technology and the use of ICT play a major role in this. Policy support for paddy field management is also an important factor. The use of subsidies and mutual aid systems is expanding, helping to reduce agricultural risks and promote sustainable management. This helps farmers secure a stable source of income and improves the stability of their business. On the other hand, issues regarding environmental considerations and resource management have also come to light. There is a need for a transition to sustainable agriculture, including protecting water quality and maintaining soil health. In response to this, improvements to production methods and environmental considerations are becoming part of management strategies. In summary, paddy field farming has shown stable economic growth thanks to the synergistic effects of technological innovation and policy support. In the future, promoting sustainable rice paddy farming management will be an important issue, aiming to reduce the environmental impact while also being profitable.

Crop income
We will organize the characteristics and trends based on the latest 2022 data on crop revenue from paddy field farming. The highest overall crop income was 106 million yen for farms with 100.0 hectares or more of paddy field land, with the average income being 32.3 million yen and the overall total income being 290 million yen. These figures show that large-scale rice paddy operators are achieving high profits. Large-scale operators take advantage of economies of scale to efficiently manage production and produce crops that meet market demand. Rice, in particular, is the main crop and enjoys stable demand as the staple food in Japan. A recent trend is that technological innovations are having a major impact on crop income. The introduction of precision agriculture technologies and data analysis is helping to improve crop quality and production efficiency. This allows us to provide a stable supply of high-quality crops and maintain our market competitiveness. There is also a growing diversification of crop income. There is a shift from reliance on a single crop to the cultivation of a variety of products and the production of processed products, which is helping to diversify risks and stabilize profits. Diversification of crop production according to local climatic conditions and market needs is encouraged. On the other hand, from the perspective of environmental considerations and sustainability, organic farming and resource-saving agricultural methods are attracting attention. As a result, income from crops has increased and efforts to achieve harmony with the local community have also progressed. In summary, crop income from paddy field farming is becoming more and more diversified through technological innovation, and is becoming both highly profitable and sustainable. Going forward, the challenges will be to further improve productivity and reduce the environmental impact, but with appropriate policy support and technological investment, it is hoped that rice paddy farming management will develop.

Rice cultivation
We will organize the characteristics and trends of rice cultivation in paddy field management based on the latest data from 2022. The highest overall rice farming income was recorded by farmers with 100.0 hectares or more of paddy field land, at 87.3 million yen, the highest ever recorded. Rice is Japan’s main crop, and cooked rice in particular plays an important role as the nation’s staple food. Large-scale rice paddy operators are taking advantage of economies of scale to implement sophisticated management and efficient production, thereby increasing profitability. Rice cultivation requires ensuring quality and maximizing production efficiency, and in recent years the introduction of precision agriculture techniques and data analysis has led to increased work efficiency and production volumes. Market trends in rice cultivation are also an important factor. Demand is highly stable and relatively unaffected by fluctuations in agricultural product prices. This supports rice farming as a stable source of income. At the same time, reducing the environmental impact and promoting sustainable agriculture are also important issues. Efforts are being made to manage water quality and conserve soil in rice cultivation, and efforts are being made to achieve harmony between agriculture and the environment. As a result, rice production in paddy fields achieved record profits in 2022, with growth supported by technological innovation and market stability. Going forward, greater efficiency and sustainability will be required, and policy support and technological investment will play an important role. It is expected that the stable development of rice cultivation will contribute to the local economy and support the sustainability of agriculture.

Receipt of mutual aid, subsidies, etc
This article summarizes the characteristics and trends of mutual aid, subsidies, etc. received in Japanese rice paddy farming, based on the latest data from 2019. The largest amount received from mutual aid, subsidies, etc. overall was 77.5 million yen for farmers with 100.0 hectares or more of paddy fields. This figure shows that large-scale paddy farmers are taking advantage of support from the government and local governments. The mutual aid system supports risk management against natural disasters and market fluctuations, and contributes to the stabilization of agricultural management. Subsidies are used to promote more efficient and sustainable agricultural production, and are used for technology investments and environmental protection measures. Recent trends include greater diversification of subsidies and increased transparency. Specific support measures are being implemented in response to regional characteristics and agricultural challenges, and policies are being promoted that meet the needs of farmers. In addition, the introduction of digital technology has made subsidy application and management more efficient, reducing the burden on farmers. On the other hand, the use of subsidies is subject to certain conditions and screening, and efforts are being made to ensure fairness and transparency. Furthermore, policy adjustments are needed to address regional disparities and changes in agricultural structure. In summary, receipts from mutual aid, subsidies, etc. in Japanese rice paddy farming play an important role in stabilizing agricultural management and ensuring its sustainability. It is expected that more effective policy management and promotion of technological innovation will contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of agriculture and the development of local communities in the future.
