Korean government has executed some programs to support producers and/or exporters for the promotion of agro-food exportation. Especially, governmental subsidizing program about the distribution cost for agro-food exportation shows positive effects. However, this subsidy should be changed or partly abolished due to the low effectiveness of subsidy. The goal of this paper is to analyze the effectiveness of governmental subsidy and to present the agro-food products with the low effects of subsidizing program. As the results of analysis, the subsidy for several products, including Ginseng drinks, Paprika, and Chrysanthemum, might be considered to be stopped due to low effectiveness.

As increasing trade through the world, especially in food, asymmetry of information can make the trade shrink. With the industrial development, Korea's agriculture had shrunk dramatically. By the result of the nation's industrial restructuring, over than 3/4 of Korea food consumption comes from abroad. And China is an important source of agricultural product to Korea. Increasing family income and increasing importing food consumption, Korean consumers have been interested in food safety. Especially. after experiencing several cases like struggle for safety of GMO food, poultry influenza, lead contained Chinese fish import, mad cow disease, cheating origin, etc. Obviously, those unreliable cases will hinder the increase of world free trade as well as the trust of two countries. Furthermore, distrust will be a cause of adverse selection. So, it need to find a way to solve the distrust which caused by asymmetry of information. And automatic identification procedures can help mitigate asymmetry of information in trade. And it will make Korean consumers can avoid adverse selection. This paper suggests adoption of Auto ID to encourage agricultural trade between Korea and China.

In Korea, many local governments has hosted the agriculture and/or food EXPO for the promotion of agro-food industry. Some EXPOs were successful to achieve their initial goal, but others were severely criticized due to wasting budget without outcome. The comprehensive debates and studies for the better management of EXPOs are required. The purpose of this paper is to analyze users for Jinju international agriculture & food EXPO 2013 and to suggest the strategies for the development of this EXPO. Survey analyses for two groups (enterprises and audiences) were conducted for this research. The results of studies present a few findings: First, the differentiated strategies for each groups (enterprises and audiences) should be developed. Second, EXPO need to attract more participants from the whole country. Third, the methods of advertisement should be improved, especially on-line ads. Fourth, various complains from participants, which are collected via surveys, need to be handled.

In this study, we determined the changes in microbial numbers in solar salts according to the manufacturing process and storage duration. The salt samples were harvested from salt farms in Shinan (area 2) and Yeonggwang (area 1). They were serially diluted ten-fold and then placed on 4 kinds of cultivable media (mannitol salt agar, eosin methylene blue, plate count agar, and trypticase soy agar). After incubation, we obtained 62 halophilic isolates from the salt samples. Coliform and general bacteria were not detected in all salt samples. By 16S rRNA sequencing analysis, we found 12 kinds of halophilic bacteria belonging to the genera Halobacillus, Halomonas, Bacillus, Idiomarina, Marinobacter, Pseudoalteromonas, Vibrio, Salinivibrio, Virgibacillus, Alteromonas, Staphylococcus and some un-known stains. In our study, we discovered two novel species that have a 16S rDNA sequence similarity below 97%.

Purpose: To provide the nutritional information of sweet peppers, we have evaluated changes of nutrient content and retention rates by different sweet pepper types and blanching method. Methods: Four types of raw and blanched ($100^{\circ}C$, 30 sec) sweet peppers were prepared and their weight, nutrient content (3 water soluble vitamins, 10 minerals) and retention rates were analyzed. Results: The weight of blanched sweet peppers was decreased than that of raw sweet peppers. From the results of the two-way analysis, the type of sweet pepper had a greater influence than blanching method used on the thiamine, riboflavin, folate and vitamin C contents (but not niacin) (p<0.05). Red pimento contained the most thiamine (0.1 mg/100 g), riboflavin (0.16 mg/100 g), folate ($47.89{\mu}g/100g$) and total niacin (0.11 mg/100 g). Red paprika contained high levels of riboflavin (0.15 mg/100 g) and folate ($44.96{\mu}g/100g$). Orange paprika contained the highest vitamin C content (116.29 mg/100 g). In addition, the mineral content, with the exception of Se, was strongly influenced by the type of sweet pepper rather than the blanching method (p<0.001). The K content of sweet peppers was higher than other minerals. Overall, after blanching, high retention rates (over 70%) were observed in all types of sweet peppers. However, the retention rates of thiamin, vitamin C and Se showed lower levels (less than 70%). Conclusion: The vitamin and mineral contents depends more on the type of sweet pepper; although vitamin and mineral (except Se) contents showed some changes after blanching. Our results can be utilized to determine the effects of cooking processes on nutritional information.

We developed a musical composition and performing method for the dynamic expression of food taste, to replace the static expression obtained from a numerical sensory score and linguistic method. The musical score was composed using cognitive food sensory data gathered while eating potato chips via a computer equipped with a sound card and a master keyboard, as well as Cakewalk 9.0, Goldwave 5.0, and Windows Media Player. The music score included four lines, one representing sensory data and three reflecting three layers of human consciousness. Different time units were applied by incorporating different repetition cycles for the relevant consciousness layers. The musical scores of individual subjects differed in terms of the score pattern and its sound. The music representing food taste was played by four instruments and showed different sound and acoustic frequency patterns for each individual subject during the consumption of potato chips. The musical expression method was applied to analyze the individual taste characteristics in the cognition of food.

To establish a globalization strategy for Korean food, it is important to ascertain foreign consumer's taste preferences and to evaluate their sensory perceptions of Korean food. In concert with previous studies, the most preferred food were Bulgogi and Galbi. However, respondents showed somewhat different preferences for other foods. Chinese and other Asian participants preferred Galbitang and Samgyetang, while Japanese participants preferred Pajeon, Galbitang and Japchae, and Western participants preferred Galbitang, Mandu and Bibimbap. The most preferred condiment was hot pepper paste (the representative condiment of Korea) and the least preferred one was ginger. Hot pepper paste was preferred most by Japanese participants, while Chinese participants tended not to prefer ginger and other Asian participants excepting those from China and Japan disliked vinegar most. Foreign consumers tended to consider Korean food as sweet, salty and very hot. Chinese participants considered Korean food to be 'plain' and 'light and washy' in taste, while Japanese participants considered Korean food to be 'greasy' and 'thick and sticky'. Chinese participants considered typical servings to be inadequate, while Japanese participants considered the servings as excessive.
