Abstract: The purpose of the present study is to identify agricultural niche goods in rural development strategies. We utilize the 2000 Korea Agricultural Survey, which in general has been in very limited use due to the fact of categorical sales variable. We create a new agricultural sales variable which enable us to get much more variability than it was categorized. The present study particularly concerns on the effects of environmental agriculture and computer usage on agricultural sales earnings. We found that environmental agriculture has negative effects on agricultural sales earnings. This is problematic, since environmental agriculture is regarded as one of the possible salvages for the Korean agriculture in the global system represented by the WTO. However, as expected, computer usage and it's application are proved to be positively associated with the agricultural sales earnings. The present study concludes with suggesting some policy issues for the future of agriculture and rural development in the 21st century for Korea.
