Abstract
The facility modernization policy has been established to improve fruits quality and to increase fruits yield per acreage. The fruit production quantity of farms joined in the policy was increased. Therefore, many fruit farms want to participate in the policy. The government has subsidized fruit farms to modernize their facilities such as rain proof, drainage way, frost proof, etc. This study analyzes the performance of the facility modernization policy focused on apple, eastern pear, and grape cultivation sector. One hundred apple farms, one hundred eastern pear farms, and 91 grape farms were surveyed. The performance of the policy was reviewed using analytical technique such as Covariate Matching and Propensity Score Matching and several policy implications were suggested.
