Abstract
This study identifies export determinants by constructing panel data related to the export of the six major fruits(apples, pears, peaches, grapes, tangerines, sweet persimmons) from 2005 to 2020. To this end, an export equation with export volume by fruit as a dependent variable is set, and recent fruit supply and trade conditions are included in the explanatory variable as the previous studies. As a result of empirical analysis through the fixed-effect model, the relative prices(wholesale price / export price), production, GDP per capita in the exporting country, number of exporting countries, labor cost share, and distribution margin rate have significant impacts on fruit exports. Based on these analysis results, strategies and measures to enhance the export competitiveness of six major fruits are presented. More FTAs to be signed in the future could be an opportunity to increase exports of Korean fruits. In addition, it is important to improve export competitiveness because an increase in fruit exports can lead to an increase in the income of fruit farmers. Therefore, specific empirical research and effective policy support should be continued.
