1. 쌀은 필리핀의 주식이기 때문에 쌀 가격의 작은 변화는 필리핀인들의 삶에 심각한 영향을 준다. 필리핀은 1870년대 이후 쌀의 순수입국이었다. 2. 최근에는 필리핀이 매년 약 200만 톤의 쌀을 수입하고 있다. 이와 같은 상황은 최근에 한국과 같은 쌀 수입국들에 참고가 될 수 있는 여러 가지 이유 때문에 악화되었다. 3. 벼의 관개농지는 필리핀 전체 벼 재배면적 430만ha의 1/3이 조금 넘는 수준이다. 따라서 최근 10년간 쌀의 평균수량은 정미 2,324 kg/ha 수준이다. 비료와 수송 및 기타 재료와 같은 상대적 재료비는 정미의 생산비를 인상시켜서 $0.33 /kg 수준이다. 4. 필리핀 쌀 산업을 발전시켜 외국쌀의 수입을 감축하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 과감한 R&D 투자가 이뤄져야 한다. 또한 관개시설과 과학영농, 하부구조 등의 향상이 절실하다. 관개지에서의 쌀 생산성이 천수답에 비하여 평균 40% 이상 높기 때문에 관개시설에 대한 투자가 매우 중요하다. 5. 균형 잡힌 식량경제를 위해서는 빠른 인구증가율의 둔화도 필요하다. 6. 최근에 많은 옥수수 소비자들이 쌀의 소비자로 전이되고 있다. 이러한 현상은 옥수수의 식품으로서의 맛이 개량되거나 요리법의 개선이 요구되며 밭벼, 찰옥수수, 카사바등의 식용을 확대할 필요가 있다. 7. 전국적으로 7,107개의 섬에 흩어져 있는 주민들에게 쌀을 보다 저렴한 비용으로 공급하기 위해서는 효율적인 쌀의 유통구조로 변혁이 실현되어야 한다.

This study analyze the certified management bodies for rural convergence industry promotion in Jeonnam province. The main results are as follows. Firstly, both certified management bodies and committee members are positive about the prospects of the 6th industry, and they also agree on the need for 6th Industrial accreditation system. Secondly, The 6th industry affects “creation of value added” and “linked to regional agriculture.” In other words, we can see that the 6th industry can contribute to creating new values and linking regional agriculture. Finally, in order to foster certified management bodies for the 6th industry, the management bodies put joint promotion, marketing and sales support on a priority basis, and was interested in supporting commercialization, such as on-site coaching, while the expert committee put priority on fostering the search for profit models, placing importance on supporting commercialization such as customized coaching.

This study analyze the economic effect of chemical fertilizer. We used the input and output data, and the analysis variables include production output nitrogen, phosphoric acid, potassium, seeds, and labor. The main results are as follows. First, for spring potatoes, potassium increases to a certain level of output, but over a certain stage, the output decreases as the input increases. Optimal use of potassium in the calculation of spring potatoes can achieve the effect of reducing input costs and increasing output simultaneously. Second, radish In autumn, nitrogen increases to a certain level, but over a certain stage it represents a reverse U-shaped relationship in which output decreases as input increases. This means that reducing the amount of fertilizer input increases the output. This means that soil-related agricultural big data can contribute to the management of nutrients and greenhouse gas reduction in agricultural land.

This study aims to investigate the present status and factors influencing farmers’ satisfaction on the crop insurance for pear.

Fourth, the factors affecting increase in the consumption of environmental-friendly agricultural products, have been analyzed in the variables noted of whether Sex, marital status, purchase experience, Private Certificate Authority faulty.

The purpose of this study is to estimate efficiency of environmental-friendly agricultural product by using Data Envelopment Analysis. A proposed method employs a bootstrapping approach to generating efficiency estimates through Monte Carlo simulation resampling process. The technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency, and scale efficiency measure of strawberry by pesticide-free certification is 0.967, 0.995, 0.968 respectively. However those of bias-corrected estimates are 0.918, 0.983, 0.934. We know that the DEA estimator is an upward biased estimator. In technical efficiency, average lower and upper confidence bounds of 0.807 and 0.960. According to these results, the DEA bootstrapping model used here provides bias-corrected and confidence intervals for the point estimates, it is more preferable.

Green tourism is a stay-flow activity between people in urban and rural area, using a natural view, tradition, and life in agricultural area.

Recently, with the improvement of national income, the increase of interest in the consumers’ health, and the enhancement of recognition of environment the demands of environmental-friendly agricultural products(EFAPs) are on the rise rapidly. The demand in the market for EFAPs increases rapidly, and the sales amount increases by 30~40% every year. But, it is in situation that the EFAPs are not distributed well between the producers and consumers now. That is, the producers of EFAPs can not find their markets. And, the consumers do not trust the EFAPs. Also, it is in situation that it is difficult to promote the demand because of relatively higher prices than the general agricultural products. To solve these problems, it may be summed up as follows. First, it needs to reduce the distribution cost by the construction of stable supply basis. Second, it needs to improve the distribution system of EFAPs. Third, it needs to enhance the differentiation and improve the consumers’ reliability. Fourth, it needs to make in brand and extend the various publicities. Fifth, it needs to construct the supporting system and enhance the cooperation with the related institutions. Sixth, it needs to find new demand and introduce the procurement system by the government.

With the development of national economy and increase of income, consumers’ demand for quality and safe agricultural products have increased and perception on environmental-friendly Farming products has been sharply changing. In other words, consumers increasingly show the tendency to prefer environmental-friendly farming products for considering health and environment protection, despite higher price. The environmental-friendly farming products in Jeonnam Province is still at its early stage, accounting for 1% or so of the total products. Considerable part of environment-friendly farming products, nevertheless, difficult problem to find consumers, thus sold at relatively high prices. To the questionnaire asking their most severe difficulty is about 30.5% for sale. This suggests that strategies for consumption expansion of environment-friendly farming products, including of consumers’ confidence, publicity of consumers, should be established to increase the income of environmental-friendly farmers in Jeonnam Province.
