Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When Japan imposes a tariff on imported rice, the price of imported rice increases. This leads to a higher market price for rice within Japan, benefiting domestic producers who can sell their rice at higher prices. Consumers pay more for rice, whether it's imported or domestically produced, leading to a transfer of surplus from consumers to producers. Additionally, the government gains revenue from the tariffs collected on imported rice, thus surplus is also redistributed from consumers to the government.
