Abstract: Industrialization and urbanization In South Korea have led to higher wages, thus Increasing the quantity and quality of food demanded. Population growth and rising per capita food demand have resulted in declining self-sufficiency in agricultural commodities. Imports, especially rice, will rise substantially to meet the domestic need. Further demand for all food is estimated to rise from $1.4 billion in 1964 to $2.2 billion in 1971, with an average growth rate of 6.5 percent per year.
