Background and Purpose The ultimate purpose of this study, planned as a five-year research project, is a long-term roadmap for agricultural integration on the Korean peninsula based on the situation in which North and South Korea are promoting economic integration. First, the first-year research corresponds to the general topic of the entire five-year study. The primary purpose of the study is to establish the economic integration scenario of North and South Korea, which is the upper concept of agricultural integration, and the agricultural integration scenario corresponding to this scenario, and to present the direction of the integration of the agricultural sector according to the scenario and the integration task for each step. Next, the 2~4 year research corresponds to the topic of a specialized study. The main purpose is to more concretely set the situation at each stage of integration according to the South-North Korean agricultural integration scenario set in the first year and present a plan for implementing the agricultural sector integration project presented at each stage. The fifth-year research’s purpose is to present a long-term roadmap for the integration of the agricultural sector on the Korean peninsula by synthesizing the results of research from the first to fourth years. Research Methodology We reviewed prior literature and analyzed research papers commissioned for this study. Commissioned studies were about the prior economic integration cases (the E.U., the E.U.-Middle Eastern Europe, the Reunified Germany) and economic system implementation cases (Vietnam and Hungary), changes in the legal system in North Korea's agricultural sector, and marketization. In addition, a commissioned study was conducted to analyze the economic effects of agricultural integration between the two Koreas, which is the first attempt in this study. Next, a survey on expert was also used as an important research method. It is divided into three groups: experts on North Korean economy, experts on North Korean agriculture, and South Korean agricultural experts. Opinions were collected on the scenario of inter-Korean economic integration, the scenario of implementing the North Korean economic system, the scenario of inter-Korean agricultural integration and its issues, the direction to promote inter-Korean agricultural integration, and the tasks for each step.
