The Cost of Protection in the Agricultural Market in Korea and Its Implication
Yoo Cheul Song·Ji Hyun Park

There are two different views on opening the agricultural market. One is that agricultural market should be opened to improve the consumers welfare. The other is that agriculture needs special protection because it has multi-functionality such as food security. Therefore, we investigated the cost of protection in the agriculture in Korea by using the computable partial equilibrium model. We measure the cost of protection in 12 agricultural goods including rice, beef and pork. The increase in the consumer welfare and decrease in the producers welfare in the case of eliminating protection is about 9 trillion and 73 billion won and 6 trillion and 952 billion won, respectively. It implies that one person in the economically active population bears 420 thousands won. It also implies that maintaining one job in these products costs 17 million and 820 thousands won. We also investigated the cases of agricultural market opening in Korea and find that it has positive effects such as decrease and stabilization in the consumer price.
