Many developing countries such as Vietnam and China want to learn the successful agricultural development strategies which have supported the rapid economic development of Korea. International society also demands Korea to expand Official Development Assistance(ODA)funds for agricultural developments of developing countries. In response of the demand of international society, the Korean government will extend the ODA by the 0.1 percent of Gross National Income(GNI) in 2009, and this trend will be kept by the year of 2015.
Although Korean has strong will to increase the ODA, the operational system for the international agricultural development cooperation is still the not-well-established system. During the past several decades, every agricultural organizations in relation to international cooperation had their own implementation schemes which led to low performance of international agricultural development cooperation. It is, therefore, new agenda of Korean agricultural policy to design the efficient and effective mechanism for the agricultural development cooperation with developing countries as well as international agencies.
This study investigates the current situations of implementing international agricultural development cooperations, evaluates the performance of agricultural policies for the international agricultural cooperation, and suggests the Korean agricultural development model as the unique agricultural development model for the developing countries. The Korean agricultural development model includes the vision, missions, basic directions, and detailed strategies for transferring the Korea model to many developing countries.
