ABSTRACT
A Case Study on Rural Agricultural Development Factors
The purpose of this study is to analyze the success factors for rural agricultural development depending on policy implementing entities and to suggest the directions for agricultural development by region and agricultural policies for local governments. To achieve the goal, the theories of Shumpeter's innovation behavior and cluster of regional innovation are introduced.
The analytical results of this study can be summarized as follows:
First of all, the natural environment for the agri-industry, communications among local government, producers, and sellers, and the leadership of the main authorities are the core conditions needed to achieve rural agricultural development.
Second, without consideration of the type of main authorities, communications among local government, producers and sellers are the most important for success. When the local government drives the implementation of development projects, the cooperation with the private sector, high skill level, and production facilities are the main factors necessary for success. And in the event that the private sector drives the implementation of development projects, the natural environment and the industry support are important factors for success.
Third, to ensure successful implementation of agricultural policies of local governments, the leadership of final decision-maker, the project implementation based on region-specific natural resources, and the development of software programs such as educational, marketing and information, are very much essential.
