Due to the changing agricultural environment concerning farmers in Japan, the issue of what type of agribusiness management structure (individual or group) will be optimal for the best interests of the individual farmer is of paramount importance. This paper will describe a short background of the characteristics of farm produce, characteristics of production, farm marketing problems, farm marketing questions, and farm marketing plan which are common to both farmers in the United States and Japan. It will then relate specific characteristics of farmers in both countries. Next, a brief comparison of both will be accomplished in an attempt to answer the aforementioned issue. The conclusion is that further research into the following areas is necessary before any recommendations can be put forward: current managerial practices of individual farmers; occurring changes in the Nokyo; and if the marketing mechanism is structured to meet the needs of individual marketers
