This paper examines agri-food export competitiveness among 4 countries(Korea, USA, Japan, China) based on Porter's Diamond model approach. Korea agri-food competitiveness index is much less than those of other countries. Korea is the lowest ranked among the 4 countries in terms of three determinants(except 1 factor, related and supporting industries) of Porter's Diamond Model: Factor condition, demand condition, firm strategy, structure and rivalry. Korea is assumed to have weak point in the factor condition, demand condition because of low capital and land as well as insufficient investment on the agri-food sector. on the other hand, it seems to have strong factor in consumer condition(demand condition). This paper suggest the following strategies to reinforced the agri-food export sector in Korea. 1) an incentive system for seed development and capital investment, 2) a cluster strategy between agriculture and related industry.

This study proposed a real and strategical business model from a supply chain perspective to heighten the competitiveness of agri-food export to promote export agriculture of Korea. The proposed export logistics business model can efficiently integrate and manage supply chain members in the agri-food export logistics center. The export logistics center is an integrated model to increase agri-food export which consists of product mixture that simultaneously distributes large companies' processed food and small companies' agri-food, a material and process system of export logistics, opening up foreign markets, and access to target markets on the basis of efficient agri-food export such as the construction of an export logistics system, finding overseas markets, and the launch and development of strategic goods for export.

This study suggests a gateway strategy for transporting agri-food exports to expand exports after examining the patterns of Korean agri-food exports by commodities and the role of export gateways. Korean agri-food exports have increased, but processed food exports have increased significantly compared to fresh agricultural products during the last 17 years. More importantly, Busan port is the main agri-food export hub in Korea. Under these circumstances, this paper examines the determinants of processed cereal-based food (HS 19) exports through Busan port using classification and regression tree (CART) analysis. As a result, the main factors that help to predict the real value of Korean exports are the GDP of the export destination countries, their distances from Korea and their GNI per capita. The destinations of Korean agri-food exports are finally classified into eight groups, which reveals the characteristics of clusters and provides useful insights for the strategies to expand agri-food exports.

최근 할랄식품의 수출확대에 대한 관심이 점차 높아지고 있는 가운데 농식품부는 2017년의 농식품 수출목표 100억불 가운데 할랄식품의 수출목표를 15억불로 설정하여 추진 중에 있다. 아울러 이를 위해 2015년 3월 한국식품연구원에 "할랄식품 수출정보시스템"을 구축하여 말레이시아와 인도네시아를 중심으로 할랄인증절차를 포함하여 필요한 정보를 제공하고 있다. 그 외에 2013년에서 2015년에 걸쳐 국내 할랄인증기관인 한국이슬람교중앙회(KMF)를 말레이시아(JAKIM) 및 싱가포르(MUIS)의 할랄인증기관에서 인정하는 기관으로 등록함으로써 교차인정절차를 마쳤다. 또한 2015년에는 주요 할랄시장이라 할 수 있는 말레이시아, 인도네시아, 아랍에미리트에서의 'K- Food Fair'개최, 한국산 농식품 및 한식에 대한 홍보활동을 실시한 바 있다. 그런가하면 일본 또한 최근 한국과 마찬가지로 말레이시아, 인도네시아 및 싱가포르를 포함한 할랄시장에 대한 유제품을 포함한 식품수출확대에 적극적이다. 따라서 한일 양국의 할랄시장을 둘러싼 경쟁 또한 불가피할 전망이다. 본고는 최근 할랄시장에 대한 식품수출확대를 위한 이 같은 국내외의 움직임과 관련하여 할랄식품의 의미 및 할랄시장에 대한 유제품의 수출가능성에 대해 간략히 살펴보고자 한다.

In the performance of this research we aimed at surveying·studying the trouble factors, problems and improvement plans to extend agricultural products and agro-food and providing basic data for the globalization of Korean agricultural products and agricultural foods in future. All the respondents highly recognized, in general, the problems in exporting agricultural products and agro-food, and it was surveyed that the biggest reason lay in the insufficiency of the scout for new buyers and the lack in opening overseas market and marketing specialists. As for the problems of the supporting system of the export of agricultural products, it was pointed out that the level of recognition was fairly high, but the procedures were difficult, and they indicated the problems of non-benefits in spite of the recognition of the selection. For the purpose, it could be known that it required the publicity and education as to export supporting system, and also required the extension of export supporting system and the improvement of the system. Finally, in relation with the export promotion plan, the factors blocking the export promotion of agricultural products marked the highest in the weak management size and production foundation and the lack in export mind and special workforce. Therefore, considering that most of exporters of agricultural products are small/medium sized businesses, we foresaw that we lack in the opening of overseas market and the capacity of marketing activities, and analyzed that it was necessary to open an overseas market in the dimension of the government and cooperate with the marketing to solve the problems.

This study examines the reason of a staggering trade deficit on the Korean agro-food industry. To achieve the goal of the study, this study suggests the policy implication for enlargement a trade deficit with foreign exchange rate. Despite the majority of grain importer does realize that there is a huge affection for price volatility on the business result, they are more likely to take flat pricing through the physical market to avoid risk of price volatility with exchange rate. Also the analysis of external and internal environments around the Korean agro-food export & import are conducted, particularly with the analysis of trade volume and food price affecting the export & import. Results from a survey show that the common factor to the effective use of overseas agricultural and foreign currency futures trading for grain traders in Korea.

One of the policies of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Livestock Food and Livestock aims to export $10 billion worth of products. Although it was not easy to achieve the export goal of $ 6.5 billion in 2016, the policy should be pursued continuously. Accordingly, a facility modernization project and high-tech greenhouse project are being implemented to facilitate exports. Moreover, it is possible to consider substitution of imports in the policy shift. Imports of temperate and tropical fresh fruits totaled 1.2 trillion won in 2016. Accordingly, identification of alternatives to tropical and temperate fresh fruit imports will enable farm income to increase and the fresh fruit industry to grow. The major obstacle to tropical fruit production in Korea is high heating costs. However, Jeju Island apple mango farmers found that using non-taxable kerosene and hot water from power plants could reduce heating costs by 42.5%. Indeed, using hot wastewater can reduce heating costs by more than 40%. To improve competition with imported fruits, farmers can change their heating systems using financial support plans (e.g., 20% government subsidies, 20% loans, 30% subsidies from local governments). The income effect and import substitution effect of fruit tree farmers should be carefully analyzed in the future and the study will be closed to discuss the policy direction.
