Japanese Agriculture and Farming Villages

VHS, 17 min., 2003
Order Code: A-17
Price: US$60 (PAL), US$60 (NTSC)

To provide a comprehensive picture of Japanese agriculture and the role of rural communities, the government, and nongovernmental institutions in its development, the APO jointly with the Japan Association for International Cooperation of Agriculture and the Agriculture and Forestry National Broadcasting Corporation produced the APO video on "Japanese Agriculture and Farming Villages."  

The video presents the history, current situation, and future challenges of Japanese agriculture and rural communities. It shows the transformation of impoverished wartorn rural villages into modernized, productive farming villages. It also captures the shift in the role of the Ministry of Agriculture, local government units, cooperatives, community organizations, extension workers, and other stakeholders which facilitated rural transformation.The video also provides a general overview of the basic characteristics of present agriculture and farming systems in different regions. In the latter part, structural problems and future challenges faced by Japanese agriculture and farming communities in light of globalization and greater concerns for environmental protection are discussed. 

This video provides valuable lessons to planners and implementers of agriculture and rural development in member countries based on the experience of Japan. It also is useful to help participants in projects organized in Japan to obtain basic knowledge on agriculture and rural areas in Japan before visiting the fields.


Role of APO in Asian Agriculture Development

VHS, 20 min., 2002
Order Code: A-16
Price: US$60 (PAL), US$60 (NTSC)

The APO has implemented projects for productivity improvement in the agriculture sector since its inception. This video highlights the APO's role in agriculture development in member countries.

The Agriculture Program of the APO has three pillars: 1) Processing and Marketing of Agricultural/Food Products; 2) Sustainable Development in Agriculture; and 3) Integrated Community Development. Under these three major pillars, agriculture projects are identified through continuous dialogue with various stakeholders, particularly NPOs, in member countries and finalized in an annual program formulation workshop. In recent years, about 30 agriculture projects have been organized annually.

Taking a concrete example of a seminar on sustainable agriculture in Japan, the video describes the salient features and the impacts of APO agriculture projects. APO agriculture projects are aimed at increasing agricultural productivity in member countries through: 1) changing mindsets; 2) knowledge sharing and networking; and 3) multiplier effects.

APO agriculture projects are not focused on technology transfer or investment, but emphasize human resources development (HRD), which is indispensable for using technologies and investments effectively. APO agriculture projects deal with various issues by concentrating on HRD and developing and adapting original tools and methods to improve productivity.

Learning from Success: Participatory Writing Workshop (PWW)

VHS, 14 min., 2002
Order Code: ICD-2
Price: US$30.00 (PAL), US$30.00 (NTSC) (Postage is not included.)

In the area of community development, governmental as well as non-governmental organizations are successfully implementing many projects in the Asia-Pacific region. Such projects provide a unique opportunity to understand the key factors in their success. They provide ideas for initiating new projects and extrapolating the success to the national and international levels. To promote such learning from the field, the APO Integrated Community Development (ICD) Program regularly organizes multi-country study missions to selected projects in APO member countries.

The video documents one such study mission, which was organized in 2001 with special focus on micro-credit activities in Bangladesh. Collaborating partners were the Centre on Integrated Rural Development for Asia and the Pacific (CIRDAP) and the National Productivity Organisation (NPO), Bangladesh. The focus of the video is on the methodology and applied to ensure successful learning through study missions. Key activities of study missions are the sharing of ideas and experiences through presentations of papers and workshops, learning from the field through direct interactions with key stakeholders and documentation of the lessons learned through an innovative method called the Participatory Writing Workshop (PWW).

The study mission and the video production were implemented under the ICD Program, which is financed by the Government of Japan.


Accelerating the Progress of Japan's Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Research

VHS, 25 min., 2001
Order Code: A-15
Price: US$60 (PAL), US$60 (NTSC)

Scientific research is a fundamental driving force in raising agricultural productivity. Japan has a long and successful history of developing comprehensive R&D systems for agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. Nevertheless, recent changes in the socio-economic environment and technological developments demand that research become more effective, more advanced, and more focused. In light of this, the Japanese agricultural research system was reorganized into a few independent research institutions. One group of reorganized institutions focuses on the development of technologies with practical use such as cost reduction, disease prevention, creation of new crop strains, etc. Another centers on more basic and fundamental research that in the long term will contribute greatly to the sector's development.

This video presents the history of the Japanese agricultural research system with particular emphasis on its recent transformation. Representative research results in major institutes are also briefly touched upon.


Planning with People

VHS, 25 min., 2000
Order Code: ICD-1
Price: US$30.00 (PAL), US$30.00 (NTSC) (Postage is not included.)

Participatory planning with communities is considered the key in ensuring effective and sustainable rural development and poverty alleviation. Particularly Project Cycle Management (PPCM) is a planning concept for such community-driven planning process. It combines the methods and principles of two approaches known as Project Cycle Management (PCM) and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA). PPCM structures the interaction among communities, government and non-government organizations and international partners as a systematic and joint planning process. The Asian Productivity Organization (APO) organized in 1999 an international training program on PPCM in collaboration with the Centre on Integrated Rural Development for Asia and the Pacific (CIRDAP) and the National Productivity Organisation (NPO), Bangladesh. This video is the documentation of that training course on PPCM. The training course and the video production were implemented by the Integrated Community Development (ICD) Program which is financed by the Government of Japan.


Aquaculture Development in Japan

VHS, 21 min., 2001
Order Code: A-14
Price: US$60 (PAL), US$60 (NTSC)

For many people in APO member countries, fish and fish products have been one of the conventional food intakes and an important source of protein. Various ways and means for catching, processing and marketing fish and fish products have been developed using traditional practices as well as modern technologies.

In recent years, however, in view of over catching, strict international regulations on catching fish, and growing environmental concerns, recourse to alternate fishery resources has been recognized as one of the best options for ensuring a sustainable supply of fish protein. "Aquaculture" is one such promising alternative. Asian aquaculture has made remarkable progress in the last three decades due largely to improvements made in production techniques and management efficiency. Such improvements have transformed aquaculture from a livelihood sustaining activity to a profit-oriented industry in the region.

This video features the Japanese experience in cultivation fishery, marine and freshwater aquaculture as well as their environmental aspects.


Productivity in the New Millennium

VHS, 18 min., 2000
Order Code: SE-85
Price: US$315 (PAL), US$84 (NTSC)

The dawning of the new millennium brings new challenges and opportunities for improvement. One area ripe for improvement is productivity, which is fundamental to economic progress, prosperity and the well being of a country and its people. This video examines the concept of productivity, its importance to the nation, the corporation and the individual, and the factors that will enhance it at the corporate level.

The video opens with a discussion on the evolution of the concept of productivity, how it has expanded from its earlier concern with efficiency, cost and quality issues, to embrace social objectives such as job creation and security, poverty alleviation, improvement in the quality of life, resource conservation and environmental protection. This comprehensive approach to productivity means that when a corporation implements a productivity improvement program, its effects will extend beyond the company to impact on the country and the people as well.

In examining productivity at the corporate level, the video identifies four major groups of factors that would enable an enterprise to produce superior quality and high-value goods and services at the lowest possible cost. The four groups are classified as Corporate Strategy and Objectives, Organization and Systems, Human Resource Development, and Organizational Climate and Culture/Industrial Relationships. The video explains that these four groups are interactive in that whatever happens in each group will affect the others. The video is careful to mention that the factors covered in each broad group are not exhaustive. Those mentioned are among the more important ones, at least in the current business environment. This means the list may differ from one organization to the next, and between different time periods for an organization as well. The explanation on the four major groups of factors that could enhance productivity is succinct, clear and well presented. The video concludes with a case presentation on the Chiba Isumi Golf Club, a 1997 winner of the Japan Quality Award.

The video is most appropriate for use by corporations to explain the productivity concept to its workforce, and to serve as a basis to solicit ideas from them for improving productivity in the workplace. The basic message in the video is that productivity is the key that ensures today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow better than today, and that it has to be everybody's business and every enterprise's concern.


Agro-Industry Development in Japan

VHS, 23 min., 2000
Order Code: A-13
Price: US$60 (PAL), US$60 (NTSC)

Agriculture in Japan is characterized by small farm size, low income, aging farming population as young people migrate to the city, and low status of rural women. These characteristics are themselves problems which need urgent attention. A promising solution lies in the development of agro-industry. This is an entrepreneurial agriculture-based business initiated by a local community. With agricultural production as its central activity, this business includes the manufacturing of farm-based products, and their distribution, sales and service.

This video showcases four agro-industry undertakings which illustrate the important contributions of the agro-industry in Japan toward expanding agricultural production, increasing local income, creating employment for the rural women and the elderly, attracting the young people back to the farms, and developing the local communities.

Meihou Ladies Corporation manufactures and sells tomato ketchup. As explained by its President, Ms. Eiko Motokawa, "Because of their shape and size, some tomatoes cannot be sold in the market. These are good quality tomatoes. Instead of wasting them, we make ketchup with them." Members of the corporation also collect and preserve seasonal mountain vegetables for sale. Their products are sold at railway stations, in the open markets, in restaurants, including one they owned, at ski resorts, and through mail order.

Nagato Stock Farm uses the milk it produces to make ice-cream and cheese. It runs a restaurant which serves its products, and also sells them over the counter. It takes mail orders as well. Although the number of stock farms is decreasing, Nagato Farm accepts trainees to improve the capability of the stock farms.

Sanshu Asuke-yashiki is a museum of traditional mountain handicrafts. It endeavors to keep alive the skills for making the handicrafts, like straw weaving, paper and umbrella making, indigo dyeing, smithing, and charcoal making. Although the museum does not relate directly to agricultural production, those responsible believe that the preservation of traditional culture will contribute to agriculture in the long run. The museum is self-supporting through revenue generated by its restaurant, coffee house and gift shop outlets.

The final showcase agro-industry is the Moku Moku Agricultural Cooperative Association. It runs a factory park with the theme "nature, agriculture and handicrafts." Visitors to the farm can practice baking bread, making pasta and sausages, milking cows, treading wheat, digging potatoes, and watching beer production, among others. Moku Moku President, Mr. Osamu Kimura, said, "We want visitors to directly understand agriculture and to experience the reality of production. We also want people to enjoy agriculture in our park."


Moving Ahead with 5S

VHS, 24 min., 1998
Order Code: SE-84
Price: US$315 (PAL), US$84 (NTSC)

The Japanese concept of 5S has gained much popularity around the world. Taken from the Japanese words of Seiri (regulation), Seiton (proper arrangement), Seiso tenken (cleaning and inspection), Seiketsu (maintenance) and Shitsuke (training), the 5S concept has been accepted as a practical and highly effective way to improve workplace management and to increase productivity.

"Moving Ahead with 5S" focuses on how to enhance the implementation of 5S by avoiding the 3Ms (muda or waste, mura or irregularity and muri or the impossible) and by taking into consideration the SCSC factors, i.e. Safety, Cleanliness, Speed and Communication. This video introduces a "color strategy" to develop and institutionalize 5S practices in the workplace. Using simple methods (e.g. markings, coloring schemes and check lists) and the step-by-step approach, this video explains the strategies to involve all personnel in 5S. A case study is included to provide illustration. This video is a useful information-cum-training tool for those interested in implementing 5S. (Also available in the Thai language.)


What is Green Logistics?
Volume 1: Concept

VHS, 23 min., 1998
Order Code: SE-82
Price: US$315 (PAL), US$84 (NTSC)

This video introduces a new approach in logistical management by injecting a critically important element into the conventional definition and practice of logistics, namely environmental protection. Defined as "Green Logistics," the new approach goes beyond the standard logistical imperatives for efficient, effective, and fast handling and movement of goods, and takes into account measures for protecting the earth's environment. As such, the Green Logistics is defined as "logistics that is gentle on the earth."

At the heart of the matter is the increasingly prominent, in fact inescapable, business requirement of meeting customer satisfaction. As with production and marketing, logistics fulfils several important functions vis-a-vis customer satisfaction, e.g. in terms of cost and customer service. As the scope of customer satisfaction now goes beyond cost and quality considerations to also include concern over the state of the environment, it is therefore timely to improve the current conventions in logistics by introducing the Green Logistics approach.

The implementation of the Green Logistics concept requires a sound grasp of an advanced and superior logistical management practice. For this purpose, Volume I of the video focuses on discussing the basic concepts and key factors involved in creating a superior logistical management system, as well as operations such as Information Technology (IT), Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). Explanation of these concepts and their interplay is made through a series of interviews with Mr. Shigetomo Koshitani, a leading expert on the field of logistics.


What is Green Logistics? – Volume 2: Case Study

VHS, 13 min., 1998
Order Code: SE-83
Price: US$315 (PAL), US$84 (NTSC)

Volume 2 of the video examines the implementation of Green Logistics by Fujitsu Company, a leading computer maker in Japan. The Fujitsu Company has developed an extensive recycling system and facilities, with 13 collection terminals around Japan. The Company targets to achieve a recycling rate of 90% from discarded products by the year 2000.

This video first highlights the principles of Green Logistics in business. These are 3Rs and 1S, or Reduce, Substitute, Reuse and Recycle. The experience of the Fujitsu Company adds another important dimension, namely profitability. For Fujitsu, Green Logistics constitutes a business proposition, and not a voluntary activity. Hence, one big challenge in practicing Green Logistics is balancing profitability with concern for the environment.

Another big challenge for Fujitsu relates to certain lifestyle pertaining in Japan, particularly the people's preference for products made from recycled materials. Selling second-hand computers (made from recycled materials) could be one of the strategies for further expanding the computer market. This will be good for the environment, as well as Fujitsu's own business. However, realizing this in Japan is difficult as the Japanese people are not accustomed to accept second-hand goods.

The Fujitsu experience illustrates the many challenges facing Green Logistics. One lesson to be extracted from this experience is the sharing of role and responsibilities. It is not only the business community who should bear environmental perspectives in their mind, but also the people in general should consider changing their lifestyles in order to make Green Logistics acceptable and practicable. In this sense, this video is suitable not only for business managers, but also for others who are interested to follow the current trend in business practices, including its contributions to preserving the environment.


Farming Organizations in Japan

VHS 26 min., 1998
Order Code: A-12
Price: US$60 (PAL), US$60 (NTSC)

This video explains agricultural activities in Japan, particularly the farming organizations that have contributed greatly to make the agricultural production efficient, productive and profitable despite the many limitations and problems this sector faces.

Japan has a long history of farming organizations. This is due largely to its physical landscape. The hilly terrain of the country allows for only small-scale, intensive farming, largely rice cultivation. Out of this situation, each farming village, over the centuries, has created autonomous organizations of farmers to manage the village's common resources, including irrigation and drainage works.

At the heart of these farming village organizations is the "Yui," a tight cooperative unit that makes work, like rice planting, a communal process in which everyone in the village is involved. The driving force behind "Yui" is the community's traditional spirit of mutual aid and self-reliance.

The video focuses on how this traditional spirit of "Yui" inspires farming organizations in Japan today, particularly in overcoming new problems such as depopulation in the farming villages due to the aging of the farmers and the drift of young people to the cities; changes in crop production pattern due to over-production of certain staple crops like rice; farmland accumulation; and the need for continuous modernization in management, and improvement in production efficiency.

The video discusses the different types and structures of farming organizations in Japan, e.g. those that represent the farmers' interests, and those that cater to agricultural production. It also explains the organization and relationship of these farming organizations at the village, town and prefecture levels.

Gunma Prefecture of Japan provides the setting for the video. Gunma is an inland prefecture characterized by hilly regions. Despite the lack of flat lands, it is known for the production of arum root, welsh onions, and Chinese cabbage. It cultivates two rice crops a year, with wheat as the secondary crop. It has the largest basin area in Japan, and is irrigated by the Tonegawa River. With Gunma Prefecture as an example, the video shows how farming organizations in Japan are organized, their guiding principles, and their importance to agricultural productivity.


Benchmarking Theory and Practice – (Volume 1): What is Benchmarking

VHS, 18 min., 1997
Order Code: SE-79
Price: US$315 (PAL), US$84 (NTSC)

Benchmarking is one of the latest additions to a multitude of approaches for quality and productivity improvements. Previously, financial ratios were used to compare inter-company performance. The emphasis is now shifting to comparison of business strategies and processes. Learning from the "best-in-class" business practices is the basic essence of seeking improvements through benchmarking. This video gives a seven-step approach for conducting benchmarking in different specific situations.


Benchmarking Theory and Practice – (Volume 2): Case Study

VHS, 20 min., 1997
Order Code: SE-80

This video uses case studies to explain how companies like Xerox Corporation of the United States, Misumi Corporation and Chiba Isumi Golf Club, both of Japan, improve business performance through benchmarking.


Technopolis: Industrial Integration Areas in Japan

VHS, 22 min., 1997
Order Code: SE-81
Price: US$315 (PAL), US$84 (NTSC)

The technopolis, a new type of industrial complex, has recently been created in Japan as a response to developmental challenges faced by the country. Instead of accommodating the mass production of standardized products, these high-tech centers aim at supporting the manufacture of high precision and technologically demanding products. To achieve this aim, cooperation among the business, academic and governmental sectors to develop creative and high value-added products is emphasized. This video uses the technopolis located in the Kitakami City as an illustration. It includes interviews with companies in the area, and with local government representatives.

Sustainable Agriculture in Japan

VHS, 25 min., 1997
Order Code: A-11
Price: US$60 (PAL), US$60 (NTSC)

Newly developed farming technologies being implemented in Japan include fertilizer application based on soil diagnosis, and the forecasting of occurrence of pests and diseases. The linkages and coordination among the farmer, extension worker, agricultural cooperative, pest control office and agricultural experiment station are explained in this regard. The video also introduces the case of cooperation between a producers group and a consumers group in the trade of organic farming products. It includes an explanation on the "Guideline for Labeling" of specified farming products, which requires the producer's name, quality and other relevant information to be indicated on the product for consumers' convenience.


Developing Supporting Industries,
Vol. 1: Quasi-Integrated System

VHS, 17 min., 1996
Order Code: SE-76
Price: US$315 (PAL), US$84 (NTSC)

This title illustrates the importance of developing supporting industries for the supply of parts and components for local industries. It describes the pros and cons of "vertical integration" and "shared production" systems in the manufacturing industry. The vertical integration is when a company undertakes all its production activities in-house. On the other hand, shared production features in contracting out certain manufacturing process outside, while retaining one's core technologies in-house. The film suggests a third option: functional collaboration of the suppliers into a "Quasi-Integrated" system. Under this firms could benefit from the positive points of the two modes of manufacturing systems mentioned above. This system, best described Japanese "shitauke (subcontracting)" has contributed significantly to the success in Japanese manufacturing industry.

(Thai version is also available.)


Developing Supporting Industries,
Vol. 2: A Strategy for Catching Up

VHS, 16 min., 1996
Order Code: SE-77
Price: US$315 (PAL), US$84 (NTSC)

This title focuses on how the Japanese subcontracting system could be employed as a corporate strategy to cater to the coming age of increased competition. Specialized production capabilities of subcontractors, it is emphasized, allows companies to take advantage of inter-firm production sharing. To make it happens, long-term and close relationships between parent companies and subcontractors are essential. Besides cost reduction, other important elements of the Japanese subcontracting system are in the areas of quality control, shared responsibilities in technological development, and reduced burden of parent companies in investing in specialized machinery and equipment.


Developing Supporting Industries,
Vol. 3: Subcontracting System in the Internet Age

VHS, 15 min., 1996
Order Code: SE-78
Price: US$315 (PAL), US$84 (NTSC)

New developments in information technology, exemplified by the phenomenal expansion in the use of Internet, have posed new challenges to the Japanese subcontracting system in the forthcoming increasingly open network society. Each project could have different participating companies. In order to achieve a high level of cooperation in such open network, one company must lead the project and coordinate among all the participants. This title stresses that the ability of that leader to coordinate all the participating members is dependent on the degree to which the leader's "core competence" can contribute.


Human Resource Development for Productivity Improvement

VHS, 16 min., 1995
Order Code: SE-73
Price: US$315 (PAL), US$84 (NTSC)

The cornerstone of productivity and quality improvement lies in the people; the success of a company is how it can optimize the human resources. The film compares the Japanese and the Western management styles, both from the perspectives of their merits and demerits. The Japanese style excels in maintaining the technology build-up within a company because of its recruitment practice and training schemes. However the style finds its shortcoming in its inflexibility in adjusting to rapid changes in business environment. The video recommends that companies need to devise a mixture of the Japanese and Western approaches, which allows flexibility as an organization and encourages worker participation. (Also available in Thai language.)


ISO 14000 Series: International Standards of Environmental Management
Part I: General Concepts
Part II: Case Studies

Part I: VHS, 17 min., 1995
Order Code: SE-74
Price: US$315 (PAL), US$84 (NTSC)

Part II: VHS, 14 min., 1995
Order Code: SE-75
Price: US$315 (PAL), US$84 (NTSC)

The video charts the development and progress of ISO 14000 series. Initiatives from private industries led the International Organization for Standards to create the ISO 14000 series, a newly emerged concept of environmental obligations for corporations. Part I on General Concepts illustrates five steps to adopt the ISO 14000 series: (1) to establish an environment policy, (2) to plan actions, (3) to implement measures for environmental management and third-party audits, (4) to check and take corrective actions, and (5) to review the system to ensure a continued cyclical operation of the ISO 14000 series. The video details how the concept of environmental obligations is not only necessary but also beneficial to firms and commercial establishment.

In Part II: Case Studies, it demonstrates a success story of a chain of convenient stores which practiced EQS (the environment, quality and safety) as a company-wide effort to establish and to implement new strategies to meet customer satisfaction.

Note: ISO14000 Series, Part I and Part II are priced separately


Changing Role of Finance Division

VHS, 18 min., 1994
Order Code: SE-70
Price: US$315 (PAL), US$84 (NTSC)

This title illustrates how the Finance Division of a firm could perform the role of "information center" to support the strategic development of the company. It examines how the Finance Division could assist Sales Division in detecting new market opportunities and help estimate cost of production at the product development stage. These would of course require better understanding of the task of other Divisions in order to perform the role of "information center" to support the company's strategic development.
