米糓生産費의 問題點

1. Inspite of the importance of agriculture for the national. and social welfare, there is evil tendency that prices of agricultural products are decided largely by the influence of government’s policy and the one-sided sacrifices on the part of the farmers are demanded. To correct. this, first of all, it is essential not only to establish a right conception of costs production, but also to explain every logical and technical problem in calculating detailed costs in the course of production. 2. On establishing conception of costs of production, there is much dispute among scientists. But, in such a style of independent, small-scale farming as in Korea, the fomula “c+v” applied to calculating costs of production is conceptinally preferable. 3. In choice of examing object of farmers, it should be taken in to concideration that the object must be the lowest grade land that can meet the social demand of rice. 4. As for the interest of capital invested in land, the value of land utilization is understood to have been paid in advance in infinite yearly instalments. Therefore, in calculating costs of production, it is reasonable to count it in as an item. 5. The value of self-employed labor should be estimated based upon wages system, and should be correctly calculated as no other than “v”. And to this political considerations must be added; in view of the difference of wages between agriculture and other industry.
