04 NOV 2025
ARE, KU would like to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Tomonori Yahata from The University of Tokyo for his insightful presentation in our ARE Knowledge Talk Series.
He presented on “Decomposition of Total Factor Productivity (TFP) in Japanese Rice Farming”, using farm-level data and the Malmquist Index to break down productivity components and explain key factors behind the stagnant TFP growth in Japan’s rice sector.
A very informative and inspiring session for our students and faculty 

Thank you for sharing your valuable research and perspectives with us!
