4 Institutional Reforms for
Agriculture
Irrigation systems were developed
Better seed varieties
Commercial fertilizer were used
Small farms units and labor-intensive
technology were practiced
Multi-Purpose Cooperatives
Agricultural Cooperatives were already
active in supplying services and credit to the
farmers. However, agricultural cooperatives
were reorganized to complement the land
reform program. Its function is to cover all
the active and needs of the farmers like farm
management and marketing, purchasing
medical services, etc.
Agricultural Development
The success of the Japan in agriculture
growth has been very impressive despite of
shortcomings, such as limited land, infertile
soil, and othe natural disadvantages. They
still contributed to the agricultural progress
of the country.
Farming is an important component of
Japan’s economy. A lot of japanese
depended on agriculture for its income.
Industrial Development
Their government didn’t borrow funds
from foreign powers. It was the farmers who
financed the industrialization of their own
country. They also established technical
schools and introduced teaching modern
science. Foreign Engineers were employed
as instructors and consultant. Constructed
transportation and communication facilities.
Japan at Present
Today Japan is an industrial nation with
many larged-sized factories and plants with
automated equipment, produce large variety
of industrial goods like cars, motorcycles,
huge ships, etc..
Japan manufactures the largest number
of motorcycles in the world. Japan has been
the world’s leading shipbuilding. It launched
the largest ship in the world.
Technology Development
Once a upon a time. Japan copied
western technology. It acquire the bad
reputation of great imitator. Today it is the
country itself who are teaching american
manufaturers on productin efficiency.
Produce more Scientists and Engineers
The education system of Japan is very
supportive by producing more scientist and
engineers and they work in their own
country.
Because of their natural disadvantages
they rely more on technology to make its
shortcommings in a natural resources.

KEY TO JAPAN'S SUCCESS
The principal key to Japan's success is not
adaptation, innovation or creativity.
Neither it is devotion to individual effort
and hardwork. The real key to its success
is cooperation through teamwork.
Honest day's work for a fair day's wage
ASSISTANCE TO DEVELOPING
COUNTRIES
Japan helps the socio-economic development of
the less developed countries mostly through
technical cooperation.
Japan's official development assistance in 1980
was $3,304 million, of which $229 million was in
the form of technical assistance.
Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is
in charge of providing official technical
assistance to developing countries.
In Southeast Asia, assistance is focused on
human resources development.
In the Middle East, technical assistance is given
to projects like sea desalination and electricity.
Principal forms of technical
cooperation
Acceptance of trainees for group and
individual training programs by government
agencies and private organizations.
Experienced and highly qualified experts are
dispatched by JICA
Survey missions conduct feasibility studies
for public development projects.
Training centers for vocational and technical
education are established.
The Japanese government sponsors trainings
and seminars.
The Asian Challenge
Japan is now a highly developed country.
Its people enjoy a high standard of living.
Aside from the farmers of Japan who had
helped the early industrialization of their
country, family business houses called
"zaibatsu" played a vital role in the
economic development of the country.
Former prime minister Zenko
Suzuki noted three areas where
Japan's efforts could be utilized:
1. Japan is limited to peaceful means. It
cannot cooperate militarily with other
countries. Such policy is in line with the
unfortunate events in the past.
2. The greatest contribution that Japan could
make is towards Asian countries' nation
building which is linked to economic and social
development, and stabilization of national
livelihood.
3. Japan is now called to play a political role in
the peace and stability of the region.
Real Assistance, not self-
interest
Japan has been extending assistance to
the less developed countries in the form
of money, materials, and technology.
However, these have been given to
countries which supply raw materials and
oil to Japan.
Japan is interested in the Asian market which
has a very large population.
Japan has doubled its foreign assistance
program, and most of it goes to Asia.
When a rich country helps a poor country, it
is always for self-interest. There is nothing
wrong about this, if the assistance creates
mutual benefits between the giver and the
receiver. After all, the fortunes of the few rich
countries depend on the economic conditions
of the many poor countries.
