한국냉장주식회사 설립과 운영의 성격(1968-1974)

Abstract

This thesis aims to identify the characteristics and limitations of the agricultural policy of Park Chung-Hee regime by examining the establishment and operation process of the Korea Cold Storage Company (KCSC) established in 1968. For this purpose, the consultation process between the Asian Development Bank (ADB) which provided a loan to KCSC and the government was examined and the structural problems of KCSC were analyzed based on the data of the Board of Audit and Inspection. KCSC was founded to establish the basis for distribution of agricultural and marine products and Compatible Policy of the Agriculture and Industry with the loan which was official support by the government from ADB. KCSC collaborated with Japanese companies such as Japan Cold Storage Company and Itochu Corporation. However, KCSC's funds were insufficient, and the government's promised measures to transfer the Agricultural and Marine Products Wholesale Market and additional operating funds for making stable operating profit were delayed. In this situation, KCSC focused on sales to fill the deficit rather than improving the distribution structure of agricultural and marine products as the original purpose of it. However, it could not get away from problems such as low facility utilization rate and deficit of the wholesale market. ADB tried to solve the problem of KCSC in consultation with the Korean government. However, since KCSC was investigated with the Agriculture and Fishery Development Corporation (AFDC) on charges of defalcation and military corruption, KCSC was operated by AFDC due to lack of self-sufficiency. The establishment and initial operation process of KCSC demonstrated the contradictions and characteristics of the agricultural and fisheries policies of the 2nd 5-Year Economic Development Plan. In the late 1960s, the agricultural and fisheries industry was unable to maintain and develop without active support of the government, but the plans and implementation of agriculture and fisheries policies were constantly separated.
