Accordingly, the government agencies are leading other organizations for various educations for capacity building and, furthermore, recently the trend of farm branding has created more demands on designing education, the initial stage of which is progressing. On the other hand, since it was revealed that it is the limit for being applied at fields and at the satisfaction with the relevant educations, this study has suggested the following improvement plans after carrying out the actual-condition analysis of the agencies which are providing the farmers with designing education.Twenty agencies were selected for the survey along with the interviews with those in charge of the education. The actual-condition analysis has found that the education is being conducted non-intensively (75%) as part of the training process of farmers’ college and e-business in short run (85%) and that there are 30 (15%) and more (55%) trainees participating in the courses most of whom are the farmers operating management bodies. The packing design in the education was found to be relatively high with 40% and most of it was focused on the elementary theory and the basic practice (70%). The educations were found to be planned by the agencies themselves (70%) and the instructors were invited mainly for packing techniques, when the teaching materials were provided by those instructors.This study also found out that there are such demands as the increase of budget ratio for supporting designing education and project, the establishment of environments for systematic designing education course and the development of designing education program for professional farmers.
