Import of agricultural production
to Republic Korea
( Information note)

The trade export-import policy of Republic Korea concerning to agricultural production bases on principles incorporated in background documents of World Organization of Trade (WOT), and also within the framework of the Agreement on an agriculture of the Uruguayan Round (UR), which was signed in September 1985 ..

Recognizing that Republic Korea is the member of WOT, practically all goods, including agricultural production, can freely be imported and be exported. A general parameter of liberalization south-korean import of agricultural production and products a foodstuff constitutes almost 99 %.

At the same time, were guided by reasons of economic safety and support of the agricultural commodity producers, RK continues to adjust a line of documentary items, which are basic in own production, according to the arrangements achieved during the Uruguayan Round. To these items refer: rice, barley, soya, corn, dry milk, integral dry milk, whey, oil an animal, red pepper, orange, garlic, onions,potatoes, sweet potatoes, sesame, ginseng. It is necessary to note, that owing to viewing the basic priorities of agricultural production in 1990, wheat was excluded from the above mentioned list and on this time the import of this culture is realized without any limitations (customs rate equals to 10 %) .

Thus, production of the mentioned goods uses by the state support by their guaranteed repayment at the commodity producers under the fixed prices, which are established by the manufacturers. At the same time, the deficiency of these kinds of agricultural production is compensated by import deliveries in RK behind the established volumes and tariff ponds (Addition №1).

Despite of rather high level of development of own agricultural area, Republic Korea continues to remain one of the greatest world consumers of production of an agriculture, occupying for volumes of the mentioned import the seventh place in the world. By the basic exporters of products of a foodstuff to Republic Korea is the companies of the united States of America, Australia, PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA and European Union.

The analysis of parameters of import of Republic Korea (which on definition of international financial institutions has come back to ten most advanced economics of the world) testifies to significant possibilities of south-korean of the market for those kinds of production, in which production Ukraine always was considered as the strong enough competitor. General annual volume of import RK of production of animal industries (the meat and items from it) constitutes 2.6 mlrd. $, farming - 2.8 mlrd. $, grain cultures - 1.5 mlrd. $. The above mentioned parameters brightly demonstrate potential volumes of south-korean market, on which some of the Ukrainian goods already send and have taken a worthy place, and some still have it to find.

It is necessary to note gradual ascending of scopes of supply by the Ukrainian commodity producers of production of an agriculture on the market RK for the last years. During 1998-2000 to Southern Korea was exported almost 2.5 mln. ton of ukrainian grain (wheat forage, corn, rye) on the sum 251 mln. $. According to Embassy the potential Korean market for ukrainian grain is evaluated on equal 1.5-2 mln. thousand tons per annum. So, already from a new crop of 2001 of south-korean companies cоntracted the ukrainian grain on the sum greater than 60 mln. $.

Volumes of the import quotas and passenger-fare level on separate kinds of agricultural production, which is produced in Republic Korea
