Government expenditures are generally regarded as a major influence on the pace and pattern of the agricultural development. The government commonly funds agricultural research, rural education, and extension of technology to the farming community and development of a wide range of agricultural activities from fertilizer distribution to credit. The public investment has their origin in the government plans for different sectors while the individual or groups of enterprises carry out private investment. In the present study we will focus only on the public investment for Agriculture in Hokkaido and assess its impact on the economy of Hokkaido in general and the productivity of the farmers in specific. The study was conducted between the period 1996-2000 in the northern part of the Sapporo region of Japan.
