농안법에서 발견되는 도매시장거래제도의 문제점과 개선방안에 관한 연구

Since the Garak central wholesale Market for agricultural and marine products was first opened as Korea's first public wholesale market in 1985, there are currently 48 wholesale markets. It is a well-known fact that such a wholesale market has played a key role in the distribution of agricultural products in Korea. However, it is generally accepted that the existing status of the wholesale market is shaken by the emergence of various distribution structures due to the opening of the distribution market such as large franchise, retail business operator and online transactions that have capital power. Various causes are pointed out in this regard. For example, changes in demand and consumption structure, changes in production and supply structure, and transition of distribution systems. Despite the need and advantage of diversifying distribution structures, wholesale markets have unique functions that other distribution structures cannot replace. One of the most important functions is to make market prices, which is evaluated as the most fair and transparent. This price formation can naturally adjust supply and demand in the long run. In addition price formation is not limited to a specific category of a particular item. Also, it is understood to be almost the only distribution structure that can meet various needs and supply. At the same time, it can statistically quantify the volume and price of market transactions. This quantified information is provided publicly and plays an important role in planning or executing price policy. This non-substitutable function of the wholesale market is secured mainly through the existing ACT on distribution and price stabilization of agricultural and fishery products (hereinafter referred to as the "Agricultural Law"). However, as the Agricultural Law has been revised 20 times with the framework maintained, the law is complicated and the contents of the regulations are not being clarified. In addition, many contents have been delegated to the ordinances etc. of local government, and there is a problem that the operation is different according to the area. Therefore, it is necessary to sort out matters related to the distribution of agricultural and marine products and by systematizing and clarifying Agricultural Lawand regulations. Through this process, it is possible to actively cope with changes in the distribution structure and the situation, as well as to maximize the function of the wholesale market. Based on this necessity, this paper pointed out the problems of current Agricultural Law centered on agricultural products and suggested legal policy to solve these problems.
