This is a study of the economic and political forces shaping agriculture and trade in the Pacific region. As rapid industrialization and agricultural policy reform take hold in many Pacific Rim nations, Japan and the newly-industrialized countries of East Asia will provide important and growing import markets for agricultural products well into the next century. The contributors provide information about policy reform in Japan, the meaning of economic de-regulation for New Zealand agriculture and trade, the potential role of the Soviet Union and China in the Pacific, and the prospects for agriculture in the South-East Asian nations. Underscoring the region's promise and importance for global agricultural markets at a time when the world's attention is fixed on Europe and the Soviet Union, the book is intended for scholars and policymakers interested in the political and economic forces shaping world agricultural trade.
