Press Release Body = RNCOS Research:
(http://www.marketsmonitor.com/category/FB17.html) The pricing policy in the Korean
food processing industry is directly affected by the changes in foreign exchange
rates. The industry has to rely on international prices owing to chronic trade
deficits and excessively huge agricultural imports. However, so long as the trend of
Korean Won is maintained on the higher side, it will help the food industry to keep
its profit high.

The Korean food industry is also closely linked with the domestic business cycles.
Unlike the luxurious goods whose demand fluctuates dramatically with respect to
changes in income, this is not so with food items whose consumption elasticity is
relatively low. In Korea the country's business cycle affects the food sector every
three to six months.

Another characteristic of the Korean food industry is the take over of the market by
a few large retailers. Traditionally, the Korean food market was essentially a
wholesalers' market. As the wholesalers amassed huge financial capacity and
organizing power they dominated the food market for several decades until recently.
The market was basically a suppliers' market where changes in consumer tastes had
little impact on production and marketing conditions.
