The swine production in Tanegashima, Kagoshima Prefecture is on the point of falling into a destroyed state. In this paper,the cause responsible for this state was investigated and further study was conducted in order to solve the various problems in swine production. Up to 1975, the price of pigs in Tanegashima was beaten down and pigs were dealt within extremely low price, because there were only three business firms dealing pigs. The business firms which bought pigs asked the contract-farmers in Tanegashima to breed pigs and they thereafter transported bred hogs to the mainland of Kagoshima Prefecture. Because of this weaner producers started a sort of co-operative hog-production-system as a through-process to attain the promotion of the profit. In Tanegashima, the facilities for this hog-production-system were brought into completion during a period from 1976 to 1979
