In Brazil, agricultural sector accounts for 15 percent of total employment and agricultural export takes 36 percent of the national merchandise exports. Particularly agricultural export has played an important role in Brazilian economic growth and stabilization. Brazil is a substantial agricultural exporter which obtains huge trade surplus in agricultural trade amounting USD 73,300 million. Major agricultural exports are grain and grain-processed products such as soybean, soybean cake, corn and soybean oil. Particularly soybean is the top exporting commodity in Brazil. Our Study overviews the situation of Brazilian agriculture and analyzes the export competitiveness of Brazilian soybean in the World and Korean markets. We employ several indexes such as price competitiveness, Market Share (MS), Revealed Comparative Advantage Index (RCA), and Comparative Advantage by countries (CAC) to analyze international competitiveness of Brazilian soybean. The main results of our study are as follows : First, U.S. Argentina, Paraguay and Canada are rivals with Brazil in the global soybean market. Second, Brazilian soybean has the 3rd highest price competitiveness following Paraguay and Argentina. Third, Brazilian soybean is second highest following Paraguay in a sense of export competitiveness through RCA and CAC index. Brazilian soybean has competitiveness in respect of comparative advantage not only in Korean market but also in global market. Especially CAC index of Brazilian soybean in the Korean market is higher than those of USA and China which have larger Korean market share than Brazil. However, the competition seems to be even more intensifying because Korea has already agreed on FTA with USA and China, and also Paraguay expands soybean export to Korea recently.

Purpose – With the technology of the 4th industrial revolution, business models of agricultural sector are changing rapidly toward convergence and high value-added business models due to the 6th industrialization of agricultural. Our goals is to examine the 6th industrialization of agriculture, and then to apply the technology of the 4th industrial revolution to the 6th industrialization of agriculture, suggesting the possibility of future agriculture, and then linking the export competitiveness of agricultural products. Research design, data, and methodology – As the methodology, case studies and empirical analyzes were conducted as well as literature studies. The case analyses included tomatoes, pig breeding farms, and an empirical analysis was conducted using the AHP analysis by experts of the 6th industrialization. In addition, using 124 survey data, this study examined and analyzed the items of the 4th industrial revolution technology for the 6th industrialization of agriculture and the strengthening of export competitiveness. Results - Results showed that the technology of the 4th Industrial Revolution helped "6th industrialization of agriculture" and "the strengthening of export competitiveness" using two successful cases. The AHP analysis was also carried out, and it was found that the improvement of the technology in the 4th industrial revolution could contribute to the future industrialization as well as the 6th industrialization of agriculture. First of all, we looked many conditions were important and urgent. Among the technologies of the 4th industrial revolution, the mobile, big data were important. Moreover, it was recognized that linkage and convergence related efforts would greatly contribute to strengthening export competitiveness of agriculture such as price and quality competitiveness. Conclusions – The 4th industrial revolution such as hyper-connectivity, hyper-intelligence and hyper-predictability contribute greatly to the 6th industrialization of agriculture, and therefore it is essential to improve the competitiveness of the agricultural sector by using the technology of the 4th industrial revolution. In particular, based on analyses of the diamond model, the "demand conditions" was the most important factor for the activation of the 6th Industrialization, and then "related and supporting fields", "factor conditions" and "business context" were followed in order. The results of this study can be useful for policy, practical and academic sectors.

다가오는 창조경제시대에 제주도의 미래 경쟁력 강화를 위해, 디자인이 융합되어 발전되어야 하는 농업 분야를 디자인적 관점을 가지고 영역별로 정리하고 분석했다. 이 분야는 제주특별자치도가 글로벌화 되 어감에 따라, 발전에 꼭 필요로 하는 6차 산업에 관한 것으로 제주특별자치도가 발표한 제주도 개발 5개 년 계획과 정책적으로 부합되는 부분이 많다. 소비자 감성을 자극하는 디자인과의 농업 분야가 융합되어 제주 미래 경쟁력의 핵심 엔진으로 대두되어 질수 있다는 점을 사례를 들어 조사했다. 농업 디자인의 선 진사례를 분석하기 위해 일본의 농산물 포장디자인과 제주 특산물인 구좌 향당근의 포장 디자인 실태를 보고해 보았다. 또 오토고마에 두부의 사례를 통해 스토리텔링을 통한 농산품의 문화 상품화와 이를 통 한 디자인 경영사례에 대해 조사해보았다. 특히 시행 사례부분에서는 저자가 2010년부터 직접 실행해본 제주 백년초의 브랜드와 포장법을 개발을 통한 농업디자인의 사례를 소개함으로서, 디자인이 제주도 6차 산업 발전에 크게 기여할 수 있다는 가능성을 제시 하였다. 농업디자인을 통해 소비자 감성을 유발시켜 상 품 구매력을 창출시키고 우수 브랜드화 함으로 제주특별자치도의 새로운 경쟁력으로 육성해야 한다.
