Operating profits for paddy field farming by region in Japan

Operating profits in Japanese agriculture vary greatly among individual farms. While large-scale operations and farms that grow certain high-value crops make relatively high profits, small-scale operations and farms that focus on traditional rice farming often have low profits. Looking at the results by region, large-scale agricultural areas such as Hokkaido and Kyushu tend to have high profits due to efficient management, but in the Tohoku region and mountainous areas, profits are often low due to constraints on farmland conditions. Policy support and technology adoption are key to increasing profits.
