  • Livestock Industry Growth
    • As the economic development accelerated in earnest in the 1960s, so did livestock sector as one of the industries in Korea. In 1963, with enactment of livestock Law, followed by livestock Promotion Act, Feed Management Act and Pasture land Management Act, institutional foundation for the development of livestock industry was established.
  • In the 1970s, the import of beef started in order to stabilize the supply and price of livestock products. Besides Livestock Promotion Fund was set to promote the development of livestock industry.
  • In the 1980s, under the trend of market liberalization for the agricultural, livestock products, the import of livestock products surged making livestock sector face with international competition inevitably. As such a trend continued for a while, Korean livestock sector had to be restructured in the 1990s.
  • The government, in order to secure international competitiveness, concentrated its support and investment on the full-time professional livestock production household with competitiveness through organizing a dairy complex, enlarging business scale for efficiency, and promoting collaboration of work among livestock production households and bly administerd a policy to modernize livestock production system as well as distribution system.
  • Also, the government support has been given to supply sanitary and safe livestock products to resolve people's concern about food safety, as well as to stabilize livestock business and to produce highquality livestock products. The required funds to execute these programs were mostly covered by the Livestock Promotion Fund.
  • Livestock Promotion Fund created in 1974 has been playing a decisive role in developing livestock industry in Korea. This fund using the special reserves of Korea Horse Racing Association as an initial funding source, has been run with sales revenue of livestock imports and returns from its own fund operation.
  • In 1980, the fund amount was KRW 27,900mil. and increased 108 times to KRW 3.0141trillion 20 years later in 2000. However, the fund size has decreased since 2000 to KRW 2.4 trillion in 2004.

  • In order to relieve livestock production households from financial burden, the government provides loans at a low interest rate every year. As the operating cost increases year by year, so does the size of loans
  • The shortage of the government budget is offset by loan from Korea Bank or fund from NLCF and the difference between market interest rate and the government interest rate is covered separately by government budget.

  • Boosted by the active governmental support and hard efforts made by livestock production household, our livestock industry has made remarkable progress for the last 40 years and now it takes a significant position as part of the rural economy.
  • The ratio of livestock industry to total agricultural income keeps growing form 7.9%('70) ??.3%('80) ??.5%('90) ??1.7%('00).
    The ratio of livestock products to national nutrition is also rising. Total daily calory per capita was 2,370kcal, out of which livestock products accounted for only 2.8% or 66kcal and rice accounted for 51.3% or 1,215kcal showing that people got their energy mostly from rice.
  • However, in 2002, energy ratio of rice decreased to 929kcal while that of livestock products increased to 11.7% and the trend is likely to continue for the time being.
  • Livestock production ratio to nutrition per capita
  • Efforts will continue to strengthen the competitiveness of livestock industry through production cost saving and quality improvement. Also several measures will be taken to help solving environmental problems caused by livestock waste, safety issues of livestock products and livestock disease control and hygiene,of which importance is drawing more and more attention.
  • Livestock Raising
  • In the liberalized era, livestock farmers are trying hard to secure price competitiveness by saving production cost. Therefore, they expand the size of farming and improve quality.

  • The most traditional livestock animal is ??Korean beef cattle . Beginning in 2001, the market for live cattle and beef was completely opened for imports. Accordingly, in order to enhance the competitiveness of Korean cow, the government established Integral Development Plan for Korea Cow Industry?? .
  • Until the 1980s when the mechanization level was still low, most of the livestock farm households raised one or two beef cattle to use cows' labor for farming. As of 1980, 99.6% of beef cattle production households had such small numbers of head under 10 and fulltime cattle production households with over 50 heads were extremely rare.
  • The number of beef cattle raising household decreased byas much as 77% from 989,000 in 1980 to 188,000 in 2003, but there's no big change in the total number of heads from 1.524mil in 1980 to 1.480mil in 2003. It means that the scale of each livestock farmhouse increased.

  • Even before the 1990s, most of farm household raised hog in a small scale with less than 10 heads. Recently, such small-sized hog production households have decreased greatly and most of them are getting professionalized like a corporation.
  • As of hog, the number of hog breeding household with less than 10 heads decreased from 95.2% to 28.4% in 2004 while full-time professional hog raising household with more than 1,000 heads has sharply increased.
  • In terms of the size of hog farming, the number of hogs raised by small-scale farm household sharply decreased from 41.7% in 1980 to 0.1% in 2004 whereas the number of hogs that belong to largescale breeding household drastically increased form 3.1% in 1980 to 75.4% in 2004, showing that hog production is becoming a fulltime profession. Also, as pork consumption increases largely, so does the number of hog being raised.

  • Prices, Supply & Demand for Livestock Products
  • Korea has so far experienced frequent price fluctuations for livestock products such as beef and pork. The specificities of agricultural and livestock production and consumption industry in Korea made it difficult to balance the supply and demand under the rapid economic liberalization.
  • In case of the cattle industry, calves for meat were imported to Korea from 1978. The price of Korean beef, known as Hanwoo, climbed continuously from 1980, reaching at one point an astounding 1 million Korean won (KRW) per head. To reverse this trend, the government imported up to more than 70,000 calves in 1983, leading to a chute in calf price to KRW 200,000 bet ween 1984 and 1987.
  • For local industries and wholesalers, the price of livestock products has fluctuated depending on the frequent changes in the supply and demand. However, for consumers, there has been a continuous rising trend in the overall price due to various factors, such as inflation.
  • For example, the local price increase rate in 2004 compared to 1980 marked 351.8 percent for bulls, 155.4 percent for hogs, and 68.2 percent for chickens. The wholesale price increase rate for beef, for the same period, was 144.5 percent and pork 129.4 percent, whereas the consumer price increase rate for beef was 533.6 percent, pork 465.2 percent, chicken 157.0 percent, and eggs 219.4 percent. To better reflect the extent of these prices, we can compare the rice price purchased by the government, for the same period, which increased by 320.8 percent, from KRW 36,600 to KRW 154,000, based on grade 2 milled rice of 80kg.

  • The rate of imported beef out of the total beef production has grown from 6.9 percent in 1980 to 47.5 percent in 1990, and again to 65.1 percent in 2000.
    The lifting of import ban on beef has also allowed cheaper imports to replace the more expensive local beef products, subsequently lowering Korea's self-sufficiency rate.
    The following table shows that in all categories the consumption per capita has continuously increased, whereas the self-sufficiency rate gradually went down.
    The milk consumption per capita showed the greatest increase in 2000 since 1980, with 448.1 percent, and egg the lowest with 54.6 percent.
    During the same period, beef showed the greatest decrease in terms of self-sufficiency rate with 43.3%, and pork the lowest with 8.5%. Compared to other livestock, the self-sufficiency rate of pork has been maintained at a relatively high level.

  • Livestock Production Costs
  • The operating cost of livestock products equals the total expenses spent on breeding the livestock such as feed, material, hired labor, rent and depreciation costs for buildings and machines minus the byproduct sales. And the livestock production cost means the operating cost plus the family labor cost, and interests on fixed capital, circulation capital, and land capital.
  • The following is the livestock production cost increase rate in 2003, compared to 1980: calf 214.7 percent, beef cattle 247.2 percent, milk 86.5 percent, pork hog 42.7 percent, egg 84.3 percent and meat chicken 21.0 percent. The beef cattle production cost increased most significantly, while the meat chicken production cost dropped markedly considering that the increase rate of producer price index was 93.6 percent for all industries during the same period.

  • In general, the livestock production cost is spent most on the feed, family labor and interest on capital. Meat chicken particularly takes up the highest share of feed expenses, accounting for 54.8 percent of the total production cost, and beef cattle the lowest, with 24.2 percent.
    On the other hand, calf takes up the highest share of family labor cost out of the total production cost, with 21.7 percent, 10 times that of pork pigs' which accounts for 2.1 percent.

  • With regard to the supply and demand of feed, the share of concentrated feed out of the total feed supply in 1980 was 52.9 percent, while grass feed accounted for 47.1 percent. However, in 2000, concentrates increased to 82.4 percent, whereas grass feed dropped to 17.6 percent.
  • Until 1980, grass feed was used mainly by small-scale family cattle producers with less than 10 heads, but as the production scale grew and production business became a full-time profession, grass needed to be replaced by concentrates. Similar changes took place in other livestock animal feeds.
  • In 2000, the assorted feed accounted for 95.0 percent out of the total concentrated feeds, and in particular, the imported assorted feed accounted for 73.3 percent.

  • The total revenue that comes from livestock production is referred to as gross receipt (GR). And both the income (I) and net profit (NP) can be calculated respectively by taking away the management cost(MC) and the production cost (PC) from the gross receipt: I=GR-MC and NP=GR-PC.
  • The 1980 to 2003 income increase rate from livestock production was 479.2 percent for breeding cattle, 490.9 percent for beef cattle, highest among others, 240.5 percent for dairy cattle, 106.6 percent for breeding hog, 128.4 percent for egg-laying chicken and 18.8 percent for meat chicken.
