이 논문은 한국이 캄보디아에 20년 상환의 유상원조 형태로 제공하는 ODA 자금 1,000만 달러를 활용해 건립하는 미곡종합처리장(RPC) 5기에 관한 비용-편익 분석을 제시한다. 할인율 12% 수준에서 RPC의 B/C 비율은 1.03으로 나타났으며, 순현재가치(NPV)는 519만 달러로 산출되었다. 내부수익률(IRR) 또한 18%로써 기준 할인율보다 크게 나타났다. 이에 따라 RPC 건립지원 사업은 세 기준 모두에서 경제성이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 할인율 8%와 16%를 채택한 민감도분석에서도 경제성을 갖는 일관된 결론이 도출되었다.

Purpose - The self quality inspection which is mandatory in Republic of Korea can play an important role in promoting food safety, but the cost for self quality inspection is also a big burden especially for small businesses. In addition, excessive or duplicated inspection costs resulting from the standard gaps of various ministries and agencies ultimately effect negative social utility. Thus, this paper aims to suggest ways to improve the analysis of self quality inspection for the Ready-to-Eat Foods in terms of dried laver, in order to reduce costs caused by overinclusion. Research design, data, and methodology - The focus of interest is seaweed in Kimbab, which is to be exempted from the Vibrio parahaemolyticus test on the three grounds. First, existing literature provides little support for the necessity of performing a microbiological test. Second, laver products do not require the V.parahaemolyticus test by international standards such as the CODEX. Third, no case was found for seaweed products on the list of information on failed food items over the 2015~16 period. Results - Other types of seaweed such as exportable and seasoning seaweed are not subject to the test. Hence, exclusion of the V.pahaemolyticus test on seaweed is a valid point, bringing about large expected cost savings to many small businesses. Conclusions - Based on a complete survey of 75 food-testing agencies from March 20th to 30th, 2018, this paper finds that the proposed revision of the Kimbab test is likely to save an average of 130,000 won per business per year. Especially, in the case of the testing fee of Salmonella spp.(n,c,m,M), the cost difference by agencies was found to be up to five times. The regional gap in testing fees can be considered an unfair barrier. Accordingly, it is necessary to examine whether the testing fee is set at an appropriate level through the cost-extraction program proposed by the Ministry Food and Drug Safety. Hence, the survey results also point out that harmonization of testing fees charged by different food-testing agencies is appropriate with respect to transparency and efficiency.
