It is estimated that the marketing margins of apples, pears and citrus have been reduced by 135.5 won/kg on average due to APC. Considering that the APC intends to reduce distribution costs and increase the producer price, the analytical results of this study indicate that the APC construction project has achieved its policy goal.
