The authorities concerned have attempted to promote the cooperation among organizations for contract farming in rice and feed and forage crops production. However, most have failed. The reason are as follows: Firstly, it is difficult to consider the cooperation without avoiding the competition for contracting farmland among the organizations. Secondly, since agricultural production heavily depends on the weather, it is apt for the farmers in cooperation to conflict each other.
The key whether we can resolve the aforementioned problem or not depends on the potential of energy stemed from daily social relations such as friendship and kinship. Therefore, we must pay attention to farmers' informal activities based on the daily social relations. The informal activities have remarkable effects on the operation and management of an organization and the relation among organizations in the following three phases:
when a series of cooperation is developed by a part of members of an organization, the energy makes up the deficiency of functions of the organization in the manner which reduces the occurrence of conflicts in the organization;
when a series of cooperation is developed beyond an organization, even if the organizations compete each other, the energy reduces the intensification of competition and leaves the door open for cooperation in the manner which prevents from the occurrence of conflicts among the organizations;
and when a series of cooperation developed beyond an organization is combined with that in the organization, even if the organizations compete, the energy amplified by the combination makes the group cooperation and its continuation possible.
