The Japanese Perspective

Abstract

Due to the rising tide of protectionism in the industrial world, especially in the US, which threatened Japanese exports in particular, Japan generally welcomed the initiation of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations in September 1986. Even the Japanese farm lobby, under strong bi-lateral pressure from the US to open the Japanese rice market to external competition, sought to use the Round as a shelter from this pressure. It was hoped that because of Japan’s huge export surplus with the U.S., the protection of Japanese agriculture might emerge more favourably from multilateral than from bi-lateral negotiations, due to the support of other major food importers, such as the European Community. This explains why, in April 1986, the Japanese government stated that it was not prepared to deal with the rice issue bi-laterally, but only through the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations.
