농협 RPC 통합의 경영 효율성 및 수익성 효과 분석

초록

RPCs fulfil a pivotal role in the Korean rice supply chain by overseeing upstream distribution. A Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) model was employed to analyse efficiency trends among NongHyup RPCs, with mergers being given particular consideration as a key factor. The analysis of RPCs’ profit and loss statements from 2015 to 2024 indicates an overall increase in efficiency since 2020. However, recent empirical evidence suggests that this growth may have plateaued. This enhancement in efficiency was attributed to the proliferation and the increased efficiency of integrated RPCs. The findings of this study underscore the significance of cultivating leading integrated RPCs to boost the collective efficiency of these entities. The estimation results of the pane1 data model revealed that integrated RPCs with enhanced efficiency were significantly associated with higher profitability when controlling for confounding variables such as total real assets, operational years, and the occurrence of mergers. However, this result was not observed in non-integrated RPCs. It is important to note that approximately 55% of RPCs in 2024 are experiencing a loss in profitability. Consequently, there is an apparent necessity for endeavours to enhance the marketing capabilities of RPCs.
