[Special issue 2 : Open Project on Supporting-tools for Municipalities towards De-carbonized Societies and Co-Creation of vision for future of the region] Risk factors affecting feed rice production in the Kyushu region of Japan

[ABSTRACT] This study examined risk factors affecting farmersʼ feed rice production in the Kyushu region, Japan. Risk perception of farmers were estimated and χ2 tests were performed to examine the risk perception differences between experienced group and non-experienced group. It has been found that farmers perceived labour force, policy, revenue stability, and environmental change to be important risk factors. As expected, environmental change was the most selected risk factor. This is followed by revenue stability, policy and labour force. It has also been found that more farmers in the experienced group worried about these risks than those in the non-experienced group. With the increasing frequency of typhoons in the Pacific region in recent years, more farmers in this region showed concerns about climate-related disasters. Under most circumstances, the success or failure of a policy relies on farmersʼ cooperation. Farmersʼ risk perceptions can be important information that helps policymakers understand the potential factors affecting feed rice production. The findings suggest that the government needs to consider additional supports to cover the loss from climate-related disasters.
