| Abstract: | Japan's increased import of grain in the last decades has brought about the need for Japanese farmers to convert from rice production to other crops in which they are unexperienced. A model is presented which can be used to find effective means for inducing farmers to convert in an acceptable way. The model is composed of several subproblems to represent different interest groups. The farmer's subproblems are to maximise their revenues whereas the government subproblem is to save expenditure in attaining the conversion. These subproblems are coordinated from a holistic point of view by a coordinating subproblem of goal programming on equity among farms and on the soundness of the government budget. |
