Analysis on the Effects of Policy Funds on Management Performance for Small and Medium Enterprises in Food Industry

Korean government has promoted the food manufacture industry with various supporting programs, including policy fund and management consulting to small and medium Enterprises (SMEs) by aT (Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation). However, small number of papers analyze the supporting policy for small and medium enterprises in food manufacture industry. Especially, few papers discussed about the specific performance of policy programs. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence of supporting policy fund which is conducted by aT. The results of analyses via econometrics model present that there was a statistically significant increase in profitability and growth after supporting. Therefore, we believe that the support of Korean government might be essential to plan the overall profitability and growth of the food industry.
