쌀 소득 직접지불제와 관련 농지법의 문제점

The Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture (URAA) brought about changes in domestic support for the agriculture sector. The WTO mechanism aims to fully open the world trade market, and thus has led to opening the Korean market with the exception of rice. WTO rules require countries to remove protection policies for fragile industries, but allow the direct payment of subsidy including direct payments in the agriculture sector.  The policy of direct payments for securing income from rice cultivation sets up a target price to attain the price competitiveness of the rice sector and covers 85% of the difference between the market and target prices. Direct payments have two different approaches, i.e. fixed direct payment providing farmers with 700,000 won per hectare before harvesting, and floating direct payment in accordance with the real yield of rice. Farmland is a valuable nonrenewable natural resource that serves several important economic and environmental functions. Once farmland has been developed or converted, it usually cannot be returned to production. To the current farmland law, the principle to own farmland only by farmer goes to extremes and it is magnified, I think that the principle which is provided in constitution is collapsed. The agriculture management by employment must restrict by applying with the regulation of trust management, because of illegal act to evade a lease prohibition. There is a contradictory irrationality of system between the case which receives a farmland disposal order by article 10 and the case which put to lease the farmland by article 23. In this case, I think that the former must do more prior than the latter. Consequently I think that there is a necessity which will amend the article 6(3) in farmland law.
