In this study, we analyzed the working environment of wholesale market distribution workers and suggested policy directions for the maintenance, operation, and development of sustainable wholesale market functions in response to changes in agricultural product distribution environment and working environment. The results of the analysis showed that there is a large gap in the working environment between wholesale corporation workers and middle wholesalers, and overall, the level of satisfaction with the working environment was low. In order to maintain sustainable wholesale market functions in the future, various policies and support should be established to improve the working environment of wholesale market distribution workers. The directions are as follows. First, wholesale market corporations should expand support for improving working environments by introducing systems such as rotational work by investing a portion of their profits in expanding manpower in response to changes in agricultural product distribution environment and working environment. Some Corporation of Garak-dong Wholesale Market is making great efforts to improve the working environment by introducing a rotational work system by expanding the workforce of auctioneers and providing a practical 5-day work week. In addition, in the case of wholesalers, it is expected that most of them will have difficulty in increasing their workforce as they are small businesses. However, it is judged that consolidation of businesses among wholesalers can be an alternative to increasing their workforce through expanding their management scale.

In this study, the differences of institutional development processes of fishery products wholesale markets were compared between Korea and Japan in order to suggest improvement direction of trading system in Korea. The wholesale markets have shrunk while wholesale and distribution has been becoming larger in size in both countries. A summary of differences in the wholesale market trading systems between Korea and Japan is as follows: first, middle wholesalers play pivotal roles in wholesale transaction in Korea, and wholesale corporations take such roles in Japan. Second, most wholesale corporations take charge of listing in Korea whereas such corporations are in charge of buying in Japan. Third, Korea has high proportion of auction for transactions, in contrast to Japan with high proportion of relative transactions. Forth, Korea maintains more sales within the wholesale markers and has more small and medium customers than Japan. Finally, Korea investigates inside causes to find solutions for the decreased competitive power of the wholesale market, whereas Japan copes with the problem by searching for outside customers. To seek solutions for the decreased competitiveness of Korean fishery products wholesale markets, middle wholesalers' consignment should be limitedly allowed, and improvement direction of wholesale corporations should be investigated in the future study.

Purpose - This study intended to identify the effects of varied institutional systems and policies that regulate or define operations of enterprises upon the profitability of private enterprises through case analysis. Design/methodology/approach - The systems and differences in the institution and commodity distribution in Korea and Japan, which define the operation of the "Garak Wholesale Market" and "Ota Wholesale Market". We were examined in the presentthis study, and the statistical data pertinent to the trade volume and profitability of wholesale market corporations that substantially run both markets, were analyzed. Findings - The competition among the corporations that run the "Garak Wholesale Market" substantially is limited due to regulations over the mode of transaction and monopoly of trust thereby significantly higher level of profitability and safety are guaranteed. However, the institutional autonomy that enabled each distributor in the "Ota Wholesale Market" to compete with each other freely caused the distributors therein face difficulties in securing stable profits due to the relatively poor level of profitability resulted from the autonomy. Research implications or Originality - It seems the autonomy in commercial transaction in the "Garak Wholesale Market" in Korea needs to be secured to promote the competition of distributors therein through an amelioration of institutional systems and amendment of relevant laws that prescribe current management of various distributors/operators in the market.

본 연구는 국내 농산물 유통에 있어 중추적인 역할을 하고 있는 농산물도매시장 중 전국에서 가장 큰 영향력을 가진 가락도매시장의 시장구조를 살펴보고자 하였다. 또한 가락도매시장의 주요 운영주체인 도매시장법인의 경영 효율성 분석을 통해 가락도매시장의 시장구조와 도매시장법인의 경영 효율성 간에 어떠한 관계가 있는지 분석해보고자 하였다. 분석 결과 2007년부터 2018년까지 가락도매시장 도매시장법인 간 경쟁수준은 상당히 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 가락도매시장의 시장구조는 독점시장으로 분석되었다. 또한 가락도매시장 5개 도매시장법인의 평균 생산효율성은 0.95로 투입량 대비 산출량이 높은 효율적인 생산구조를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 일반적으로 다양한 산업에서는 시장구조가 경쟁적일수록 기업의 생산효율성이 높아지는 구조이지만, 가락도매시장은 독점적인 시장구조임에도 불구하고 도매시장법인의 생산효율성이 높게 나타났다. 즉, 도매시장법인은 '수탁독점'이라는 혜택과 '지정제'라는 진입장벽, 위탁수수료 중심의 단순한 수익 창출 구조로 인해 일정수준 이상의 효율성을 담보할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 분석결과를 보았을 때 향후 농산물도매시장 활성화 및 생산자·소비자 권익 보호를 위해서는 통합정산체계와 새로운 유통주체의 도입 또는 기존 유통주체의 역할 유연화 등 농산물도매시장 유통주체 간 경쟁체계를 구축할 수 있는 정책추진이 필요하다고 판단된다.

The Act on Distribution and Price Stabilization of Agricultural and Fisheries Product, which specifies rules and regulations on the trading system of fishery products wholesales markets, has been revised several times, mainly in order to improve the trading system. However, there is still a huge gap between the reality and law when it comes to the trading system of the fishery products wholesale market. This study aims to analyze the problems of the trading system of the fishery products wholesale market and to suggest ways to make improvement. The main problem facing the trading system of the fishery products wholesale market is sales on consignment by intermediate wholesalers, and this paper suggests two alternatives to solve the problem. First, intermediate wholesaler can be converted to market wholesalers, but it also entails other problems. The market wholesaler system has never been successfully adopted in the agricultural and fishery products wholesale market, and it is not clear which system is better between the wholesale market corporation and the market wholesaler system. Second, sales on consignment by intermediate wholesalers can be adopted with a positive view toward it. Negotiation transaction can be carried out for sales on consignment as a transaction method under the current Act on Distribution and Price Stabilization of Agricultural and Fisheries Products. However, since the act cannot provide a solution for listing, it is necessary to introduce Japan's negotiated transaction in advance system as a negotiation transaction method.

This paper predicts the onion's cultivation areas, yields per unit area, and wholesale prices during ship dates by using wholesale price data from the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation, the production data from the Statistics Korea, and the weather data from the Korea Meteorological Administration with an ARDL model. By analyzing the data of wholesale price, rural household income and rural total earnings, onion cultivation areas in 2015 are estimated to be 21,035, 17,774 and 20,557(ha). In addition, onion yields per unit area of South Jeolla Province, North Gyeongsang Province, South Gyeongsang Province, Jeju Island, and the whole country in 2015 are estimated to be 5,980, 6,493, 6,543, 6,614, 6,139 (kg/10a) respectively. By using onion production's predictive value found from onion's cultivation areas and yields per unit area in 2015, the onion's wholesale prices in June are estimated to be 780 won, 1,100 won, and 820 won for each model. Predicted monthly price after the onion's ship dates is analyzed to exceed 1,000 won after August.

Purpose - The Garak agricultural wholesale market ('Garak Market') plays a central role in the distribution of agricultural products in Korea and is important in connecting consumers with producers. However, problems regarding inefficiencies and the high-cost structure of the wholesale market's distribution/logistical system are being raised in relation to severe competition among retailers. Furthermore, the service needs of retailers and market users are not being fulfilled due to the inconsistency of the wholesale market's functions and facilities, thus reducing the competitiveness of the market. In this regard, innovative changes are being requested of the agricultural wholesale market according to changes in the agricultural product distribution environment. In particular, the lack of unloading facilities and the outdated unloading system of the wholesale market must be improved to enhance system efficiency. Research design, data, and methodology - This study observed the problems of the unloading system of the agricultural wholesale market in order to present relevant measures for improvement. The need for unloading auctions was also researched in this study. The survey of 70 forwarders belonging to the producing district distributor association of the Garak market was conducted by post. Additionally, 20 auction dealers and 59 shippers and transporters were individually interviewed. The survey on the need for unloading auctions used five-point Likert Scales. The statistical analysis was conducted with SPSS WIN 12.0 software. Results - First, the wholesale market must employ members of the unloading labor union to allow these employees to directly manage the unloading process. Second, it is crucial to revise regulations to ensure that the principal agent pays the unloading cost according to the standard unloading cost system. Third, the vehicle auction carried out for certain vegetable products must be converted to the unloaded auction system. According to the related interviews with the wholesale market's distribution agents, whereas shippers and transporters recognized the need for unloaded auctions, auction dealers tend to have a negative view of this system. Furthermore, the stated reasons in favor of unloaded cabbage, radish, and other vegetable auctions were prevention of constraint, creation of transparent trade conditions, and reduction of corrected seller tickets. Many of the respondents answered that the transport cost reduction rate in unloaded auctions must be below 20%. Fourth, the unloading system must be mechanized and a detailed, reasonable plan must be provided to settle the existing conflict with the unloading labor union. Conclusions - The proposals in this study are expected to play an important role in improving the cargo handling system of the wholesale agricultural product market in the future. Improving the system is expected to help shore up the competitiveness of the industry. If all the related bodies closely cooperate with each other and work harder, taking advantage of the synergies created by the facility modernization project, the Garak market will play a pivotal role in the distribution of agricultural products.

2004년에 설립된 강서도매시장은 하나의 시장을 둘로 나누어 한쪽은 상장경매제, 또 다른 한쪽은 시장도매인제를 동시에 운영하는 실험적인 시장이다. 정부는 경매제에 비해 유통단계가 줄어든 시장도매인제가 출하자에게 보다 안정적이고 높은 가격을 제공할 것을 기대하여 이 제도를 도입하였고, 이 시범사업의 결과를 평가하여 향후 전국 도매시장에 시장도매인제를 확대할 계획을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 시장도매인제의 설립목적을 가설로 설정하여 검정하였다. 연구결과 정부의 기대나 일반적인 믿음과 달리 시장도매인제가 경매제에 비해 출하자에게 더 좋은 가격을 제공하지 못하는 것으로 분석되었다. 시장도매인제가 소기의 역할을 하기 위해서는 제도적 보완과 함께 보다 투명하고 효율적인 운영이 선행되어야 할 것이다.
