Abstract
In this study, we performed to select the high growth potential agri-products in Ulsan City, Korea. For this, we carried out the location quotient and the regional growth rate differential analyses using the cultivated area data and the agricultural output data in 2000, 2005 and 2007. The location quotient analysis revealed that rice, pear and persimmon were classified as specialized agri-products. These results would be useful to reflect on a short-term policy in support for the agricultural activities of the local farmers because the specialized agri-products occupy a relatively high proportion in the region. In addition, the regional growth rate differential analysis showed that strawberries, persimmon, potatoes, corn and sweet potato are classified as growing agri-products whereas pear is classified as a competitive agri-product in the analysis based on agricultural output from 2000 to 2007. Based on cultivated area, strawberries, potatoes and corn are classified as growing agri-products whereas sweet potato is classified as a competitive agri-product. These results would be beneficial to establish a long-term agricultural policy in Ulsan City because these agri-products are further supported by the time series analysis, considering the nationwide trends and the production activities reflecting the preferences of consumers and the willingness of producers.
