초록

베트남 정부는 농업구조개혁을 위해 새로운 협동조합을 통한 계약농업을 추진하고 있으며, 베트남 농민은 정책에 따른 구조 전환의 영향을 직접적으로 받고 있다. 따라서 정책 과정에 따른 농민들의 토지이용 및 생존전략을 이해하는 것은 이러한 농업개발정책에 있어 필수적이라 할 것이다. 이 연구는 중부 베트남의 전형적인 농촌 마을 중 하나인 빈다오사(社)(Binh Dao commune)를 대상으로 이루어졌다. 이 논문에서는 먼저 GIS을 이용한 토지이용 변화 분석 및 190명의 농민과의 심층 인터뷰를 통해 계약농업 도입 전후의 농촌 노동력 구조와 생업활동의 변화와 그 원인을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 새로운 협동조합을 통한 계약농업은 농민-협동조합-농산물판매회사로 이어지는 수직적 가치사슬을 형성하고, 기계화를 통한 효율적 토지이용에 기여하여, 생산성을 향상시키고 농산물 시장가격의 리스크로 부터 농민들을 보호하는 순효과를 가져왔다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 한편, 이러한 긍정적인 효과에도 불구하고, 베트남의 협동조합을 통한 계약농업은 애초에 의도했던 농촌 노동력을 비농업부문으로 재배치하지는 못한 것으로 나타났다. 오히려 빈다오사(社)의 농민들은 농업구조개혁 과정에서 경작면적을 늘리려는 경향이 있었다. 즉, 베트남 농촌지역의 제한적인 농외 취업기회로 인해, 빈다오사(社)의 농민들은 기계화와 생산성 향상으로 생긴 잉여 가족노동력을 역설적으로 농업부문에 집중시키는 생존전략을 선택한 것으로 보여된다. 그 결과 빈다오사(社)의 농민들은 협동조합의 계약농업을 통한 농업구조개혁에도 불구하고 여전히 가족노동력에 의존한 소농체제에 머물러 있다.

The Vietnamese government has proposed contract farming through a new type of cooperative as an institutional innovation which aims to restructure the agricultural sector. However, policy changes often impact farmers, who bear the primary effects of the transition process. Understanding households' strategies for land use and livelihood is crucial for policymaking in the agricultural development field. This study was conducted in the rural Binh Dao commune in Central Vietnam. We analyzed household members' labor force changes and their livelihood behaviors after their participation in a contract farming scheme using qualitative analysis methods combined with geographic information system (GIS) support, based on secondary data and in-depth interviews of 190 farmers. Simultaneously, we created a digital map of the cooperative's production area to investigate changes in land use and production activities. The findings show that contract farming shaped the vertical coordination of the value chain from the farmers to the cooperative and agricultural product trading companies. Subsequently, it encouraged land use and labor efficiency due to mechanical support. In addition, it also increased productivity and protected farmers from market risks. However, despite its positive effects on agricultural productivity in this case, the contract farming scheme could not achieve the restructuring of the rural labor force toward non-agricultural sectors. Ironically, farmers in the Binh Dao commune tended to increase cultivable land during the agricultural restructuring program, rather than switching their labor forces to non-agricultural sectors. The lack of stable non-farming job opportunities in rural Vietnam results in challenges to the efficiency of agricultural restructuring programs. Consequently, farmers in the Binh Dao commune are still smallholder farmers, depending on the family labor force.
