Production adjustment - SEISANCHOUSEI

Japanese: 生産調整 - セイサンチョウセイ

A policy that restricts production when demand for agricultural products continues to fall short of supply. It encourages and supports farmers to reduce acreage and switch to other crops.
[Additional information] In Japan, rice production adjustments were implemented from around 1970 as a measure to deal with the rice surplus that began in the mid-1960s. Initially, this was implemented uniformly across the country as administrative guidance, but with the enforcement of the Food Law in 1995, producer groups were required to determine and allocate production targets independently, in principle, and administrative allocation of quantitative targets came to an end in 2017.

[補説]日本では、1960年代中頃からの米余りへの対策として、1970年頃から米の生産調整が行われた。当初は行政指導として全国一律で行われたが、平成7年（1995）の食糧法施行に伴い、原則として生産者団体が自主的に生産目標を決定・配分する方法がとられ、平成29年（2017）をもって行政による数量目標配分は終了した。
