In addition, since wheat was not the staple food of Shandong’s agrarian population, due to its high price, it was milled al Jinan and Qingdao, the two terminals of the Jiaoji Railway. Consequently, wartime surveys conducted by Japanese exploration teams tended to intensify around the Jiaogi Railway and that hinterland. The present article discusses socioeconomic changes that occurred in Shandong Province at that time through an analysis of the Province’s wartime food situation, in terms of production, distribution and consumption.In the western part of Shandong Province, which is particularly we11-adapted to wheat cultivation, many farm families were accustomed to cultivating wheat to sell in exchange for cash to buy cheaper cereals for self-consumption. However, with the Japanese invasion of the Province, together with changes in and shrinkage of the wheat collecting sphere, the amounts of other grains in distribution also decreased, resulting in food shortages and rising food prices throughout the region around the Jiaoji Railway. In response to this situation,many farm families stopped selling wheat to appropriate for self-consumption, leading to further decreases in the distribution of wheat. Furthermore, as one measure in dealing with the increases in the flow of the migrant population from the cities back to the country, cultivation was shifted to growing sweet potatoes, which produced the largest output per unit of land than any other staple. It was in this way that rural Shandong, which had been enjoying the expansion of its commercial economy, was forced to revert to self-subsistence farming.In sum, the Japanese invasion of Shandong brought about not only a reversal in the development of its rural economy, but also significant changes in the economic structure of local agrarian society.}, pages = {151--180}, title = {日中戦争期山東省における食糧事情と農村社会経済構造の変容}, volume = {92}, year = {2010}, yomi = {ベンノウ, サイイチ} }
