Fishing grounds and caught species are diverse in the inland fishing grounds of Japan, and so the business environment of Japanese inland fishery cooperatives (JIFCs) is also expected to be diverse. Based on the fiscal 2017 business reports of JIFCs, this study classified JIFCs into seven types and analyzed differences in the soundness of management and expenditure structure by type. The results showed that, although management in all types of cooperatives exhibited high safety, safety was maintained on the sacrifice of wages and labor costs. These results suggest that the scale of income and expenditure must be expanded, and that the profit margins of stocking ayu and stream dwelling salmonids must be improved.
