Land information is important for the international agricultural companies. This study investigated the agriculture and soil information in Sri Lanka. This study is the results from investigation of soil properties and agricultural properties determined by the Soil Taxonomy classification system for the soils in Sri Lanka. The order of the main agricultural imports in Sri Lanka was wheat > refined Sugar > dry Onion > Rice > Lentils. The climate of Sri Lanka is divided into three climatic zones. There are a wet zone, an intermediate zone, and a dry zone. Rainfall of the wet zone was $3,000-5,000mm\;year^{-1}$. The rainfall of the dry zone was less than $1,000m^{-1}$. The intermediate zone was in the middle area. Soil series of Sri Lanka were 109 in total. Detailed information of soil series was: 6 of soil Orders, 15 of Suborders, 39 of Great groups, and 56 of Subgroups. Soil texture of topsoil was much more coarse, but subsoil was gravelly coarse soil. Soil of Sri Lanka was classified as a Soil Order. The orders were Entisols > Alfisols > Ultisols > Inceptisols > Histosols > Vertisols.

One of the way of the preserving environment is the circulation of materials. Japan's cereal food self-sufficiency rate is less than 30%. Japan imports more than 30 million tons of food every year. Japanese are afraid of international food trade giving damages to environment. Advanced farm mechanization integrated with precision farming is an answer to solve these problems. Crop scientists, soil scientists and agricultural engineers at Kyoto University cooperate together in studying precision agriculture for paddy rice since 1996. Automatic follow-up combine and autonomous vehicle have been developed. Remotely sensing by using machine vision has been studied to measure nitrogen contents. Field map i.e. soil, growth and yield, in paddy field of 0.5 ha has been made. In this report the concept and objectives of advanced farm mechanization and precision agriculture research at Kyoto University are introduced.

The yearly consumption of soybean ranged from 1.5 to 1.7 million tons in Korea during 1995-1997 with an increasing trend of annual consumption by 60,000 tons. Gross consumption of soybean was 1.74 million tons in 1997: 1.292 million tons for feed, 0.433 million tons for food and its processing, and 15,000 tons for seed and other uses. Particularly, Korea totally depends upon imports of soybean for feed and oil. Only about $40{\%}$ of soybeans used for food and its processing are supplied through domestic production. Korean markets will be open to foreign agricultural products except for rice in 2004 when the Uruguay Round treaty is completed. According to the Korean Rural Economics Institutes reports, soybean consumption in 2004 is expected to be 1.87 million tons that is higher than that in 1997 by 0.13 million tons. In order to meet the need for soybean, Korean government planned to supply from 0.17 million tons of domestic production plus 1.7 million tons of imports, and also planned to raise the self-supply rate of $9.1{\%}$ in 2004 from $8.6{\%}$ in 1997. According to the USDA reports on international soybean production and consumption, its production is expected to be 150 million tons over the world and the international market prices for soybean will be unstable in 2004. Based on these reports, international soybean trade capacity will be 36 million tons in 2004 that is lower than 39 million tons (accounting for $25{\%}$ of gross production) in 1597. Also, a term-end stock in 2004 is estimated to be 9.6 million tons that is low as compared to 18.6 million tons In 1997, In coping with domestic and international soybean production, consumption and supply, and further possible food crisis, national policies and continuous efforts are necessarily required to promote domestic production and to reduce imports of soybean.

Since the introduction of animal traction technologies(ATT) in many Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) countries, attempts to propagate its widespread use in the continent have suffered several setbacks. Many factors are responsible of this. However, developments in the African economies are believed to be a prominent factor. This study provides empirical evidence of the impact of economic growth on the performance of ATT-in Sub-Saharan Africa(SSa). The analysis uses 1971-1990 time-series data on ATT from botswana. The performance of ATT is measured on the basis of changes year covered under this study. The models used, are a regression model and a trend projection model. Although the regression model is representing a simplified view of the relationship between ATT and economic growth , it takes account of the influence of annual amounts of rainfall. It is concluded that economic growth has had a negative impact on the performance of ATT in Botwana. As the country's Gross Domestic Pro uct (GDP) steadily increased over the period of the analysis, the number of households using ATT declined at a rate of 2.5% per year. The impact of the GDP on ATT was directly associated with increases in the use of tractor, food imports and beef exports. The results have serious policy implications for agricultural development in many African countries that are not capable of sustaining their economic growth.

현재 우리나라와 교역규모 1위이자 최대 수출 흑자국인 중국에 대해서도 한-중FTA의 추진을 통하여 기존 중국 수출시장의 선점, 유지가 불가결하며, 이를 위해 한-중 FTA 체결 및 확대 전력이 필연적이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 한-중FTA가 부산지역 경제에 미칠 영향을 미시적으로 분석하고 있으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 부산지역의 산업들 중 한-중 FTA 체결로 피해가 클 것으로 예상되는 업종은 농수산물로써 그 외 업종들은 대부분 FTA체결로 인한 피해가 크지 않을 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 피해규모는 크지 않을 것이지만 FTA체결로 부산의 무역규모도 크게 향상 시킬 수 없을 것이므로 이에 대한 대책이 강구되어야 한다. 이에 따라 지역 산업에 대해 중국과의 경합관계를 분석하여 향후 향방을 정확하게 제시해 줄 필요가 있다. 향후 계속될 FTA 체결에 따른 피해를 최소화하기 위해서 부산지역 업체는 수출입시장을 거대 경제권(중국, 일본, 미국)으로 한정하지 말고 최근 부상하고 있는 BRICs를 비롯한 시장 다변화 전략을 모색할 필요가 있다.

The lacquer is one of the most important resources for endogenous development and cultural reproduction in Wonju. However traditional and social network, which had been formed by lacquer farmers, group of lacquer-pickers, refineries, and lacquer-ware craftsmen, is being collapsed. It is due to the recent imports of raw lacquer from China and refined lacquer from Japan. Public sectors including Wonju city have continuously improved the potential of lacquer production by planting lacquers. However, the potential of lacquer production isn't under enough condition to realize its value. In this study, it is suggested that the efforts of public sectors to raise lacquer industry, focused on the improvements of lacquer production potential until now, should be concentrated on realization of the production potential by reconstructing social productive system which is composed of diverse groups involved in lacquer ware production.

Unstable crop production and distribution affected by climate change and COVID-19 pandemic has raised the food security concerns worldwide. In particular, Russia's invasion to Ukraine has blocked the grain trade such as wheat and com to importing countries, which has aggravated the situation. Korea has relied on foreign imports for about 80% of domestic grain demand, raising great concerns on food security. Considering situations related to Korea's food security, some points in view of a crop scientist are suggested and discussed as follows; 1) Domestic production of major grain crops should be increased through encouraging farmers by appropriate governmental subsidy programs 2) International corporation should be strengthened and diversified for sustainable overseas agricultural development and for stable import even in case of food crisis and emergency. 3) Self-sufficiency target should be specified by law so that more budget investments could be put to alleviate the food security concerns. 4) Technologies for climate smart agriculture and for competitive agricultural products should be developed aided by social and governmental support.

본 연구에서는 한 칠 FTA 이후 시설포도 재배농가들이 가온시기를 늦추는 요인을 알아보기 위해 2004년부터 2016년까지 작형 변화 패널 데이터를 이용하여 분석하였다. 패널로지스틱모형에 대한 분석결과 시설포도 재배면적에 대한 추정계수는 0.0002로 10% 유의수준에서 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났고, 포도 수입량에 대한 추정계수는 1.4258로 1% 유의수준에서 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났으며, 지역더미에 대한 추정계수는 0.808로 5% 유의수준에서 통계적으로 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 재배면적이 많은 농가일수록, 포도 수입량이 증가할수록, 상대적으로 추운 중북부지역일수록 가온시기를 뒤로 미루게 될 확률이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 정부에서는 포도의 수입량 증가로 인한 시설포도농가의 피해를 줄이기 위해 FTA 피해보전직접지불 폐업지원을 하고 있어 시설포도농가의 피해를 다소나마 줄일 수 있지만, 이것은 궁극적인 대책이 되지는 않을 것이다. 포도 소비변화에 적절하게 대응하기 위해서는 품종 갱신, 가온비용 절감을 위한 농자재 지원, 비닐하우스 시설현대화를 통한 에너지 효율 증대 및 비용 절감 등의 다양한 지원책이 필요할 것이다.

본 연구는 UR농산물협상에서 우리 나라가 약속한 시장개방(市場開放)에 대한 이행실적(履行實績)을 평가하고 UR에 의한 시장개방이 국내 주요 단기소득임산물 시장에 미친 영향(影響)을 분석하였다. WTO농업협정의 이행실적 등은 관련자료 및 통계치를 이용하여 분석하였고, UR이후 수입개방이 밤, 대추, 잣, 호도, 표고시장에 미친 영향은 선행연구의 수요(需要) 및 공급탄성치(供給彈性値)와 UR이후의 수입량, 생산량 소비량 등의 자료를 이용하여 추정(推定)하였다. 1995년부터 1999년까지 5년동안 관세할당제도(關稅割當制度)에 의한 밤, 잣, 대추의 수입물량은 우리나라가 약속한 최소시장접근(最小市場接近) 물량(物量)을 초과하지 않았다. 현재 단기소득임산물의 실행관세율(實行關稅率)도 양허관세율(讓許關稅率)에 비해 상당히 낮으며 이러한 관계는 2004년까지 유지될 것이다. UR이후 단기소득임산물의 수입증가로 잠재적(潛在的) 국내가격(國內價格)이 하락되었고 이에 따라 소비지출액(消費支出額)이 감소되고 소비자잉여(消費者剩餘)가 증가된 것으로 추정되었다. 그러나 단기소득임산물의 수업증가로 인해 생산량이 큰 폭 감소된 것으로 추정되었으며 생산에 미친 부정적(否定的)연 효과(效果)가 소비에 미친 긍정적(肯定的)인 효과(效果)를 상회(上廻)한 것으로 추정되었다. 단기소득임산물은 UR의 결과 낮은 관세율로 수출시장에 접근할 수 있었음에도 불구하고 대부분의 수출(輸出)이 감소(減少)되었다.

The potato has been used as a part of key staple foods in Korea. Recently, the demand for the potato tends to increase due to its nutritional Quality, and the Quantity of imports has rapidly been increasing. Contamination of seed potato by pathogens especially could cause a severe reduction of total production. In order to solve the problem, Korea Research Insistute of Bioscience and Biotechnology(KBIBB) developed the new commodity called a "potato microtuber". Before its production and distribution, researches on new commodity should be undertaken in many aspects, especially in terms of economic aspects. The main objectives of this study are to measure the economic value of the potato microtubers and to forecast its spreading effects and to examine the Contingent Valuation Method(CVM) could be accepted in the economic analysis for a new agricultural product, here in potato microtubers. Through the regression results, the consumer behavior analysis had performed for potential users of potato microtubers, and through the demand function derived by the consequence of functional relationship, consumer's surplus was estimated.
