The purpose of this study is to review the degree of centrality and position of Korea in the agricultural trade network. Analytical results indicate that the trade network has been strengthened but the degree of concentration has been lessened. Korea’s centrality in the trade network has increased. However, there was no significant change in the ranking of centrality. This is because the effect of increased trade was offset by the increasing trade volume of huge trading partners. The US, EU and ASEAN have recorded high rankings and the influence of China and India has continued to rise. But on the contrary, Japan’s influence in the trade network has consistently decreased. We found that the influence of the large countries on the trade network might be changed if we add more countries in the analysis. |
