 note = {The Ryukyus has achieved a remarkable economic growth in recent years, yet there is no doubt that Ryukyuan economy has structural defects in itself: heavy dependence upon income from U.S. military base and deficiencies of agricultural and industrial productivity. In this view, a study was made to analyze farming status in the Ryukyus as well as to find out encouraging effects of agricutural finance on development of the Ryukyuan agriculture. The followings are summary and conclusions of the study: 1) The Ryukyuan farmers earn less than the Japanese farmers do. The low income is caused by not merely unstable price of agricultural products but also inadequate production resulting from a smallness in farm land per farm and poor techniques used. An enlargement in farm land per farm, coupled with a necessary advance in farm management and techniques, is essential to the Ryukyuan farmers. 2) The recent trend of farmer's income shows that non-agricultural income increased noticeably and accounted for as large a portion of the total farm income as 65.5 per cent in FY 1967. As for agricularl expenditures, a small amount of income has been put back in production and the agricultural expense has not increased much in recent years, causing the low agricultural income. 3) A typical farming operation of the Ryukyus is a combination of sugarcane production and livestock(hog) raising on a small scale. Such a small faring practice dose not help the Ryukyuan agriculture grow to the extent that will contribute toward improvement of the defective economy of the Ryukyus., 4) It is possible to make an operation on the sugarcane-hog type farming with a relatively small amount of agricultural funds. That is, a small amount of capital inputs are made as fixed cost, accordingly the capital equipment ratio is very low. On the other hand, cost of fertilizer and feedstuff have been invested as variable cost every year. These are the reasons why the Ryukyuan agriculture has been weakened. 5) The weakness of agricultural structure is attributable to a smauuness in an individual farmer's farm land. Land productivity on the large scale farming, as compared with the small scale farming, is low because of extensive farming, but the capital earning ratio and family labor productively are relatively high. Accordingly, the following points are necessary to utilize fixed capital effectively: a) Expanding of the farm land per farm by increasing fixed capital investment, and b) Improving managerial and technical structure for effective use of farm-investment. 6) Since the accumulation of capital by individual farmers seems to be difficult today, the treasury loans and investment and agricultural cooperatives finance play an important role in the Ryukyuan agricultural operation. However, the amount of these agricultural policy funds is indequate and also the present loan conditions are not suitable for the actual circumstances. Therefore, a supervised credit program, furnishing financial and management counselling besides funding at rates and terms that the farmers can carry, is a must for achieving the sound and stable growth of the Ryukyuan agriculture., 論文},
