Abstract

This study aims to determine trends in private organizations and research institutes engaging in the management of indigenous varieties of crops and vegetables. By analyzing the results of a questionnaire sent to the members of the Korean Association of Local Varieties and by interviewing the four organizations associated with it, the current condition of conservation activities and the consciousness of stakeholders were examined. The results implied that (1) conservation activities in Korea were heavily dependent on the public sector, (2) some private organizations were continuously engaging in these activities by building a commercial business, and (3) some organizations try to promote varieties from foreign countries.
