Abstract

Chapter 6 is a comparative study of the post-war technical and institutional agricultural transitions in China and selected Asian rice economies, especially Japan. After 1979, inter-sectoral competition for factors and resources between the agriculture and industrial sectors in China increased sharply. In the face of the same demands of technology diffusion, the experiences of China show significant differences in terms of technology selection, localisation and the duration of green revolution initiatives. Compared with China, Japan is another good example of technology deviation during green revolution. This chapter seeks to throw light on these issues by explaining the diversification in the same technology diffusion under different market structures and institutions between China and Japan.
