Analysis on the Effect of Domestic Measures Related to Korea-Chile FTA on Fruit-Farmers Productivity

The purpose of this study is to analyze an economic effect of domestic measures related to Korea-Chile FTA which came into effect in 2004. The empirical analysis was carried out using a non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method and a Malmquist productivity index to evaluate the productivity and efficiencies of the farmers during the FTA periods. The farmers in the regions adopting the FTA subsidy retained higher productivity and efficiencies than the farmers in the regions that did not received the subsidy. The result shows that the investment and financial support for Korea-Chile FTA have partly contributed to the increase of competitiveness of the farmers in terms of productivity and efficiency.
