Until now, Korea's developing country status in the WTO has played a vital role in terms of minimizing the negative impacts on the agricultural sector in the process of market liberalization. Actually our status as a developing county in the last Uruguay Round helped us to smoothly implement the UR commitments. However, international society and agricultural exporting countries have continuously required us to participate in the New Round(DDA) as the status of developed country. Korea's Status in the WTO negotiations will be one of the big issues sooner or later. Considering low international competitiveness of the Korean agricultural sector and financial burden of the overall Korean economy, it is essential for us to obtain developing country status in the WTO agricultural negotiation. In particular, taking into account the negative effects of the loss of developing status on agricultural sector, the maintenance of developing country status is one of the vital negotiating objectives.
