An Analysis on Export Competitiveness of Korean Horticulture Seeds

This study analyses the present state and data in the exports of Korean seeds after surveying world horticultural markets. The results show that the world market share(36.4%), RCA index(2.42) and TSI index(0.54) of the Netherlands are the highest in the world, and the U.S., France, Japan, and China are followed. The market share of Korean horticulture seeds is low, but the RCA index(2.45) is in the state of comparative advantage, TSI index(-0.29) is in the state of import specialization. Among the Korean horticulture seeds, Chinese cabbage, cabbage and green pepper are in the state of export specialization, but lettuce, onion and green onion are analyzed in the state of import specialization. For Korea to raise export competitiveness and to ensure seed sovereignty it is necessary to intensify supporting systems and policies.
