ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is (1) to provide trends and prospects
of floricultural production for farms, (2) to provide the flower farmers with
strategies of management improvement and the government officers with policy
support direction in order to overcome current difficulties.
The Korean
floricultural industry with a high income-elasticity has been growing along with
national income increase. However real floricultural production in 2001 is
expected to decrease due to depressed consumption expectation as a result of the
recent economic slowdown. Among this situations, flower exports has increased
due to rising exchange rates, developing new sales channels due to sluggish
domestic demand.
Korea's floricultural exports is primarily targeted
to Japan. Meanwhile China's floricultural industry is growing rapidly as the
Chinese government is fostering the industry. Therefore, china is expected to
rise as a competitor in the Japanese market.
