N2  - Alternative rice policy options for Korea were investigated.  The objective was to find suitable ways to reduce rice  production , and to increase other crop production instead of rice  under the physio-biological and socio-economic environment.  Data collection was based on intensive interviews with  individual farmers who were considered as representives for an  agroecological zones viz . plain, semi-plain and hilly area.  The study u sed linear programming as a tool to find an  optimal Government ' s purchasing price by means of a sector .model  based on representive farmers.  The study mainly focussed on the entire agricultural sector  of Korea. However, results are also useful for the individu al  farmers because it demonstrates the impact of changing the  Government ' s policies on the optimal allocation of farm  resources
