This study is first aimed at identifying the possibility of labour saving and production cost decreasing in rice production with respect to seed broad casting technology. Comparison of labour inputs and production costs of rice in-between USA and Korea and recommendation of policy guidelines for the continous rice cultivation are the second objective of this study. Under the WTO system, rice enterprice is the most vulnerable crop in the sense of labour productivity and price competitiveness in the international market. How to adapt labour saving technology and how to decrease production costs are the most imminent problems to be solved in rice production. To achieve the objectives, survey on nine rice enterprice farms were made in Daeho tidal farmland with respect to the size of farm, labour inputs, productivity, farm mechanization and farm land base development. The existing data on labour saving technology by seed broadcasting which had surveyed by Rural Development Administration were collected to compare the surveyed data from Daeho tidal farm land The study results and policy recommendation are summarized as follows; 1. Labour requirements per 10a for rice enterprise farms with seed broadcasting and with transplanting were estimated 11.4 and 18.5hours respectively. 'This above labour inputs were equivalent to 1/3-1/5 of the national average labour inputs of 53.6 hours which were included transplanting and harvesting by machinery. Considering the labour requirement of 1.7 hours per 10a for the USA rice production, Korea rice culture has possibility to decrease labour demand upto USA level of labour inputs. 2. Production cost of rice in Korea were estimated US$4,181 per ha which were higher than that of USA by 3.00 times and production costs per ton were shown as US$313 for USA rice and US$1,018 for Korean rice. 3. Land productivity of rice per 10a in America was reached to 4,325kg and the counterpart of Korea was about 4,181kg in recent year. In the sense of land productivity, both yields of rice were comparable. 4. The price of japonica type rice similar to Korean traditional rice in international market in 1994 was f.o.b US$466 per ton which was equivalent to import parity price of US$830 per ton in domestic market. The price of rice purchased by Korean G't and received by farmers were amounted to US$ 2,013 and US$ 1,663 respectively in the same year. Domestic prices mentioned above were higher than the import parity price as US$830 by 2.0-2.4 times. 5. American rice production competitive to Korean rice was equivalent to 17,012 thousand tons, 1.28% of the world production of rice in 1991 and consumption of rice in America was amounted to 2,633 thousand tons. Exportable quantity of USA rice were estimated as 4,379 thousand tons of which 52.3%, 2,300 thousand tons, were exported indeed in the same year. 6. The quantity of Korean rice produced in 1991 was estimated 1.00% of the world production. The world amount of rice exported in 1991 was reached to 2.45% of the world production of which 34.2% was occupied by USA The remaining quantities of world exported rice were dominated by Tiland, Pakistan and Vietnam where produced indica variety. 7. Under the given technology, labour inputs per 10a for rice production could be possible to save by 70% of the national average labour requirement of 53.6 hours through implmenting complete farm mechanization with land consolidation and on-farm development and improvement of fanning practices like seedbroad casting txchnology etc. On the other hand, prduction costs of rice could be decreased by 10% rather than 49% as target indicated in the Rural Development Counter Measures of Korean Government in 1994 owing to increasing farm mechanization cost and interest on land service with high price. Accordingly production cost of rice per kg could be decreased only by 10% of the 1994 production cost. 8. Rice policy of Korean government in the future should take into account the labour saving technology to solve labour shortage in rural area and to enhance off-farm incomes by creating job opportunities in agro-industrial zones and special production area. On account of the staple food and main energy source for people's health, rice production even encountered vulnerable economic settings should be continued without price distortion policies and discouraging farmer's intention to cultivate rice by importing institutionally the direct income subsidy system.

본 연구는 국내 사정에 적합한 스마트팜 기술 전략을 ICT 기술의 국내 사정에 적합한 차별화를 중심으로 제안하고자 했다. 해외 농산업 선진국의 경우 각 나라의 지형적 특성, 농산업 특성, 국민 수요 특성 등을 전반적으로 반영한 특정 단계 개발에 주력함을 확인했으나, 국내 스마트팜의 경우 해외 기술을 여과 없이 수용하여 국내사정에 적합한 기술의 선별적 개발이 수행되지 않음을 확인했다. 따라서, 본 연구는 국내 농촌 인구의 급격한 감소, 인구 고령화, 농작물 가격 경쟁력 상실, 휴경지 증가, 경지 이용률 감소 등 문제에 따라, 차후 스마트팜 ICT 기술 개발 방향성을 품질 좋은 농산물을 창출하여 가격 경쟁력을 갖추기 위한 성능의 우수함, 노동인구 고령화에 따른 사용의 용이성, 영세한 경영규모에 적합한 경제성 등에 주목하여 스마트팜을 추진해야 함을 제시했다. 첫째, 경제성 차원에서 영세농가(1차) 경영환경에 필요한 기능들만 선별하여 ICT 기술을 구성하고, 이들과 원활한 의사소통 체계를 ICT 기술에 적용하여 실제 농가에서 필요로 하는 기능을 점차적으로 업데이트함으로써 비용 감소에 일조할 수 있음을 제안했다. 둘째, 성능차원에 있어서는 국내 고령화 인구에 적합한 빅데이터 난이도 조절, 이들에게 적합한 언어사용, 이들의 예측 성향을 반영한 알고리즘 설정 등 ICT의 의사소통 기능 개선에 주목한다면 작동 정확성을 증대할 수 있음을 제안했다. 셋째, 사용용이성 차원이다. 6차산업(1차(농업,임업)+2차(농수산물가공)+3차(서비스,농어촌체험,유통)) 발전을 위한 ICT 기술에 기반한 스마트팜은 특정 명령어에 따라 동작을 수행하는 바, 특정 명령에 빅데이터에 근거한 추론을 통한 추가적 기능들이 자동적으로 수반될 것과, 각 지역적 환경에 맞춤화된 빅데이터 구성에 기반한 장치를 미리 세팅, 표준화하여 사용용이성을 촉진할 수 있음을 최종 제시했다.
