ABSTRACT
Why has the history of agricultural trade relations between the United States and Japan often been so troubled? And what of the future? Even though trade in agricultural commodities is apparently of mutual advantage, unless the issues that have created problems are recognized and defined, future trade relations are likely to be worrisome to both parties. This book is written in the hope that a thorough analysis of the basic complementarities between the two agricultural economies and an understanding of the internal problems of each country will point toward better relations in the future.
