The purpose of this study is to do a fundamental research about introducing the certificate for managing livestock in Korea. In recent days, several livestock disease such as FMD (Foot and Mouth Disease) happened in domestic or foreign markets. The happening of livestock disease delays the growth of productivity in the livestock sector. It becomes more important to increase the productivity and enhance the competitiveness of domestic livestock sector. One of the ways to attain those purposes is to educate the domestic livestock producers and reduce the possibilities of outbreak of livestock disease.
Designing an education system for domestic livestock producers for reducing the possibilities of happening the livestock disease in domestic livestock sector is a primary purpose of this study. This study provides the theoretical backgrounds why we have to provide the educational services to the domestic producers. The livestock disease has a tremendous negative externalities which cannot be solved in a marekt mechanism. Therefore, we have to introduce a constitutional or administrative device to cure this market failure.
One of the key issues in introducing an eductional system is whether to execute the system voluntarily or obligatory. This study considers both aspects. First, this study considers the sytem in voluntary base under the name of certificate. Second, we also consider the system in obligatory base under the name of license. To see which way is more preferrable in domestic livestock environment, we review several key foreign educational systems.
This study provides two alternatives as a potential educational system in domestic livestock sector. Also, this study compares the costs and economic benefits that are accompanied by introducing a new educational system.
