The present situation of financial supports for dairy farms is clarified, and the economic influence of them on dairy farms in the future is considered. Main financial supports are subsidies of Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries and Agriculture & Livestock Industries Corporation (ALIC) . However, those of ALIC tend to decrease every year. The rate of the financial support to income is as high as 30-50%, and higher in larger farm. Therefore, further decrease in financial supports in the future makes continuation of dairy management difficult. In order to keep sufficient income, it is important to examine the deployment direction based on farm size.
