국내 낙농 문제에 대한 이해와 접근

Abstract

Since the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the EU was signed in 2011, the domestic dairy market has become more open. As a result, imports of dairy products increased sharply and the domestic raw-milk self-sufficiency rate fell below 50%. Due to stagnating domestic demand for raw-milk caused by increasing imported dairy products, low birth rates, and environmental problems, the problem of oversupply of domestic raw-milk is emerging. The current price and quota system in domestic raw-milk market has many limitations in solving this supply and demand imbalance problem. In this study, this problem was approached from two aspects to solve the supply and demand imbalance facing the domestic dairy industry. As an approach to solving the problem, one is to look at the domestic dairy market from the perspective of supply and demand balance, and the other is to look at the asymmetric aspect of bargaining power due to the oligopolistic market structure. The approach to solving the problem has been summarized by improving supply and demand balance and competitiveness, compensating farmers' income, and resolving asymmetry in bargaining power for various issues currently discussed.
