| Environmental regulations impose construction and recurring costs on Australian feedlot operators. However to date there has been no published empirical information on these costs of environmental regulation.

The aim of this study was to attempt to measure the cost of complying with environmental regulations by large commercial feedlots in different Australian states.

| This paper begins with details on the current level of Japanese investment in the Australian beef industry. The reasons for direct investment by Japanese firms in the Australian beef industry are investigated, as is the nature and extent of integration by these firms in the Japanese beef production and marketing chain. The results are shown to be consistent with foreign direct investment theory. Specifically, the desire to provide quality assurance through ownership of upstream production facilities and the potential to exploit a domestic marketing and distribution advantage provide the principal motivations for beef industry foreign direct investment by Japanese firms. |

| This paper aims to review major recent developments in Japanese agriculture policy and to evaluate what these changes are likely to mean for the agricultural sector. An overview is provided of the Japanese economy, the position of agriculture in the economy and some of the important characteristics of Japanese farm households. The discussion then focuses on trade related policy developments, particularly those that have received most attention outside Japan. Recent important policy developments are then described for the rice industry, the focus of foreign criticism of Japan's agricultural policies, and the beef industry, an example of an industry to have recently lost protection against imports. |
