South Korea has witnessed a significant increase in the importation of agricultural and livestock products, with figures soaring 4.3 times since 2003 to reach $43.6625 billion in 2023. This surge is largely attributed to the country's Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with major trading partners such as the United States, the European Union, ASEAN, China, and Australia, which have led to a higher proportion of imports from these FTA countries. Key imports experiencing growth include pork, chicken, and fruits like cherries. The article also sheds light on the repercussions of these imports on South Korea's domestic agricultural sector, highlighting a decline in beef self-sufficiency, a reduction in grape cultivation areas, and raising concerns about the future competitiveness of domestic milk and cheese production as tariffs on imports from key trading partners are phased out.
