This paper investigates the determinants of farm acreage of five major vegetables in Korea. For this study, a survey focused on the determinants of farmer's crop acreage decisions was conducted for farmers of chinese cabbage, radish, onion, garlic, and red pepper. The results indicate crop acreage decisions are influenced by farm size, education level, age and farming career. It is shown that large vegetable farmers change their acreage more sensitively than small vegetable farmers. It is also shown that young or educated farmers change their acreage more sensitively than other farmers.
