Japan's beef farming is in a difficult situation since the Japan-U. S. beef trade agreement has been signed. The first object of this study is to make clear the effect of beef import liberalization. The second is to look at the evolution of beef productin, and the third is to investigate ploblems of family farming.(1) As the percentage of animal protein ingestion tend to be stagnant, a steady increase of beef import will probably lead to a reduction of Japan beef production, due to price competition.(2) An analysis of relations and trend of wholsale prices of each grade revealed the quality of wagyu beef overtake any other grade. However, the comparable quality of imported beef, and dairy beef lead to price competition.(3) If improved the fattening cattle farming is able to have a competitive price to a certain extent. To increase farming efficiency, farm expantion, and better production and financial management are suggested.As the wagyu caw/calf farms are usually small, it is difficult to reduce the cost of calf. As a drop of calf price is expected (due to import), the technology must change, and large scale-diversified farms, for income security, must be developed.(4) The system of land management and use must be revised. Policies to provide the element of farm business and raise funds should be enforced.
