영문 초록

Korea is the closest nation to Japan and, among other things, Korean production costs and prices of the fruit-vegetables are much lower than those in Japan. Yet, as of 1994, the total export amount of fresh vegetables of Korea to Japan was only about $ 8.7million, which accounted for 1.0% of Japanese total import of fresh vegetables. In this study, an analytical study on quality, production costs and market prices of greenhouse fruit-vegetables such as cucumber, melon, and mini-tomatoes between two countries were made in an effort to identify the difficulties in exporting greenhouse fruit-vegetables to Japan and to derive ways to expand export in the future. In order to achieve the goal, the secondary time-series data were analyzed and both the producers in Chonnam Province and consumers in Japan were interviewed. The research results show that Korean production costs per 10 are has increased annually as fast as 28.6% in recent years whereas it has increased by 9.6% in Japan during the same period. It makes the producers more difficult to expand their exports abroad. Even though Korean products have competitive edge over the Japanese products in terms of cost and price, Korean producers have difficulties in exporting to Japanese markets because of non-price conditions such as quality, faithful human relationships, publicizing activities, etc. Besides the efforts to improve the quality, it was turned out in this study that expansion of agricultural export to Japan needs to go through renovations of productive infrastructure, price stabilization, improvement in faithfulness among the people involved, strengthening producers organizations, centralization of production, intensification of information collection and dissemination, and activation of governmental supports.
