      abstract = {This paper focuses on the role of the agricultural sector  in achieving regional integration in Northeast Asia.  Competition between Korea and China in the Japanese import  market is increasing. China's agricultural export has  significantly increased at the expense of domestic  producers in Korea and Japan. All the three Northeast Asian  countries have experienced similar structural changes in  agriculture, with each country moving towards land saving,  and labor or capital intensive farming. They have observed  an increase in the share of products with high income  elasticity. Each country tries to increase its export of  horticultural and small animal products.  This paper  suggests possible ways of achieving agricultural  cooperation in Northeast Asia, while competing each other  at the same time. Each country's role in agriculture (i.e.  China as a source of food security in the region and a  leading exporter, and Japan as a facilitator of trade  through import) is stressed. Negotiations over loose form  of economic integration are strongly required as a stepping  stone for further economic integration to discuss  agricultural issues such as trade facilitation, e.g.  standards, labeling, customs procedures/ administration and  economic and technology cooperation. The terminology of  negotiation or bargaining, though not friendly to those in  the losing sectors, is similar to the meaning of  cooperation based on competition.},
