First of all, we considered stabilizing rice prices as the first step in restoring confidence in the agricultural government, and after close communication with farmers' organizations and related ministries, we decided early on a plan for the harvest season to isolate 720,000 tons, the largest amount ever, from the market. As a result, the price of rice, which had remained at the level of 20 years ago, exceeded 150,000 won immediately after the announcement of the measure, and has been continuously on the rise so far. The purchase price of public reserve rice and market-quarantined rice in 2017 also increased by 19% year-on-year, and the purchase price of 52,570 won per 40 kg of rice was completed by the end of the year. In addition, 50,000 tons of Korean rice will be provided to developing countries starting this year after completing the domestic process to join the Food Aid Convention. The Republic of Korea, once a recipient of food aid, has become a country that contributes to global food security.

In order to minimize the impact on the supply and demand of threshing, we will prepare focusing on forage and regional specialized crops. In addition, we will increase the competitiveness of the industry and contribute to the stability of supply and demand by upgrading the quality of rice, such as expanding the supply of high-quality varieties and improving grade standards. We will also establish a system to stabilize the supply and demand of horticultural agricultural products. Like the Central Mainland Council, we will strengthen the governance system between the government and producer organizations for each item to adjust the supply and demand from the pre-production stage, such as adjusting the cultivation area. We will prepare a manual for controlling supply and demand throughout the entire production process from sowing to shipping, and increase the reliability of agricultural observation by using cutting-edge devices such as big data and drones. Second, we will strive to stabilize the income of

Agriculture in Moon Jae In is a people-centered farming industry that values the income and quality of life of farmers and the health and safety of the people. It is an innovative farming industry that seeks job creation and growth through creative destruction of existing practices. It is a sustainable farming industry that strengthens the sustainability of the agri-food industry and the environment, and the values of the public interest of agriculture and rural areas. It is a field-oriented, reform-oriented farming industry that listens to the voices of the farmers and the public. From this year, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will begin reforming agriculture and government to create a country where farmers farm without worries and consume them with confidence. We will focus on the ten major policies so that the national tasks of stabilizing the income of farmers, strengthening the foundation for sustainable agri-food industry, supplying safe food to the people, and creating welfare

At the end of last year, we were able to inform you of the revision of the Enforcement Decree of the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act. The upper limit of the gift cost for agricultural and fishery products and processed agricultural products has been raised from 50,000 won to 100,000 won. The upper limit of the congratulatory and congratulatory expenses will be lowered to 50,000 won, but up to 100,000 won will be allowed to include wreaths. We hope that from this Lunar New Year holiday, sales of agricultural and livestock products will expand, which will help ease the difficulties of farmers. We would like to thank the people for their generous understanding of the purpose of the revision of the anti-graft law. Dear farmers and the people, Our agricultural and rural communities, which are facing many difficulties both internally and externally in the early morning of 2018. The income gap between urban and rural areas is still large, and agricultural income is stagnant at the level of 10 million won.

In response to the severe drought last year, the government has drawn up an extra budget for water system connection and water development, and has come up with comprehensive measures to cope with the drought across the government. In addition, in order to alleviate the difficulty of disaster recovery, the unit cost of support for 20 items including the large number of green onions and pesticide stands, which are in high demand on the site, has been tripled. Conflicts surrounding the agricultural community have been resolved. The issue of refund of the preferential payment for rice produced in 2016 was resolved smoothly by continuous dialogue with farmers' organizations. The issue of over-the-counter sales centers in Yongsan and Daejeon, which had long been in sharp conflict with the local community, was also decided to relocate through social compromise. There was also a crisis situation. When red fire ants were discovered, the situation could be resolved early through emergency quarantine measures.

Our fellow farmers across the country! Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs officials, and the people who care for our agriculture and rural communities! The 2018 Martial Arts New Year has dawned. On the occasion of the New Year's Day, I wish you and your family full of hope and happiness. Thank you very much to the farmers for their hard work in producing abundant food despite difficult conditions such as drought and hail last year. I would like to express my gratitude and condolences to the farmers and quarantine officials who are working hard all night to prevent the spread of avian influenza (AI) even at this time. In particular, I pray for the souls of the late Gokseong County Office worker Kwon Sam-joo, who died on December 23rd after working hard on quarantine work, and express my condolences to the bereaved families. We will make the Republic of Korea safe from livestock disease by accepting the will of the deceased. My fellow farmers and the people! The Moon Jae In government,

If the communication between the existing and the new sides continues and the fun of horse racing is realized, the atmosphere will be completely different from the present. I think it will naturally transform into a powerful community. Korea's face is by no means as honorable as the UK, and yet, as the US is well circulated, there is no economic guarantee. Horse racing begins with the face of the face buying horses, but in the current situation, it returns to a system that is completely unsatisfactory with some exceptions, and the interest decreases. As a result, people stop facing each other. Horse racing society is neglecting this situation, which is seen as a crisis in horse racing. How can horse racing be supplied and supplied when the willingness of the faces to purchase is declining? Since 2005, the pace of face-to-face replacement has accelerated too much.If the communication between the existing and the new sides continues and the fun of horse racing is realized, the atmosphere will be completely different from the present.

Some of the two sides protested against the innovation (draft) that went through this process, and the emergency committee, which was in a hurry, denied the results of the existing negotiations and insisted on renegotiating the source. The Korean Horse Racing Association was disastrous for the situation where it was criticized for not having any dialogue or consultation in preparing the innovation (draft). However, the Korean Horse Racing Association was registered to participate in the integrated racing of the 1st and 2nd tier teams in the first week of February according to the 2015 Horse Racing Implementation Plan, which is a promise to the people. As a result of the organization, three races were detected as signs of obstruction by organized collusion, which was judged to be fatal to the fairness of the sport, which is the life of the sport, and inevitably canceled the three races.

I think that the head of an association is not a place to exercise authority, but a place to serve. Rather than leading with leadership, my goal is to find an adhesive for the fusion of the whole and to connect it well. I think the glue is horse racing. No matter how old your friends are, if they do not have common interests, they will quickly feel awkward and awkward. However, if you have a common denominator, even if you just met someone, you will quickly open up and hold hands. We have a common interest in horse racing. If we only learn the fun of horse racing, I think we can communicate sufficiently even if it does not lead to golf or other directions. However, the problem with the current Facing Association is that they often feel a gap or turn their back rather than realizing this fun.

We will make every effort to promote animal welfare by establishing a mature companion animal culture where people and animals coexist. In order to improve the quality of animal medicines, we will provide consumer satisfaction-type administrative services through fair and prompt civil complaints, and strengthen the competitiveness of animal pharmacists by enhancing differential quality control through selection and concentration. In addition, in order to revitalize the distribution of high-quality and ethical livestock products, we will expand the certification of welfare farms to implement an animal welfare certification system that consumers trust and animals are happy. We will consider establishing a special judicial police to strengthen animal protection functions and revitalize the animal registration system. We will do our best to realize One Selfare where the welfare of animals and people can work together by strengthening cooperation with related organizations such as local governments.

We will secure animal vaccine sovereignty early by advancing foot-and-mouth disease vaccine manufacturing technology and establishing an AI antigen bank. In addition, we will contribute to the increase of farm household income by developing vaccines to reduce consumable diseases such as swine influenza virus (PED), which is the main cause of the decline in productivity of livestock farms. We will actively support the development of stem cell therapy, one of the new growth engines. We will become a national standard foreign pest research institute by securing expertise in the field of plant quarantine, such as strengthening the development of outpatient plant disease diagnosis technology, prediction and control technology, and expansion of overseas disease research safety experimental dong facilities. In addition, we will become a world-leading animal and plant hygiene research institute by expanding international standard laboratories, expanding international joint research and strengthening international

In order to prevent the inflow of overseas malignant livestock infectious diseases and plant pests, we will thoroughly conduct border quarantine at the airport, and in particular, we will do our best to prevent the inflow of diseases by proactively responding to African swine fever, a foreign livestock infectious disease, monitoring and inspecting all countries at risk of entry, and strengthening foot-and-mouth disease/AI tests on imported portable agricultural and livestock products, and strengthening plant pest quarantine. In the field of plant quarantine, we will establish a comprehensive safety management system that encompasses safety management of diseases, pests, and LMOs abroad, at borders, and in Korea. We will come up with a plan to allow imports of high-risk reproductive plants after lowering the risk of pests in the other country, and to reevaluate the risk of imported plants by inflow route and item and strengthen management of items at high risk of pests.

We will make all-out efforts to ensure that the highly pathogenic avian influenza, which is currently occurring intermittently in duck farms, does not spread and ends early. Scientific epidemiological analysis based on information and communication technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data will enable preemptive and effective quarantine management. In order to prevent the recurrence of foot-and-mouth disease, we will try to achieve the goal of purifying foot-and-mouth disease by maintaining the positive rate of lean meat antibodies at more than 70%, and establishing a regular quarantine system centered on the site. In addition, we will strengthen the foundation for plant quarantine by making it mandatory to report diseases and expand inspection personnel to detect and quickly control high-risk foreign pests such as foreign red fire ants, establish a nationwide forecasting network, and establish a forecasting control center. In addition, we will advance the management of plant diseases and

Employees of the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters and the people who care about the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters! The role and duties of the quarantine headquarters are becoming increasingly serious due to the global spread of national disaster-type livestock infectious diseases and high-risk plant pests and the increasing likelihood of entry into Korea, the continuous emergence of new and mutant animal diseases, the increasing demand for field problem-solving research, and the increasing public expectations for agricultural and livestock safety. As a national standard quarantine and quarantine agency, the Agriculture, Forestry and Livestock Quarantine Headquarters will work as one body and act as a watchman to defend against the risk of livestock diseases and plant pests at the forefront this year. To this end, the quarantine headquarters aims to focus on the core values of 'One-Health, field-oriented, communication cooperation, future response,

In addition, it conducted rapid control work with related ministries to block foreign red fire ants from entering and spreading in Korea early. In addition, through active quarantine negotiations with export partners, fresh agricultural products such as pears and tomatoes were exported to South America for the first time. In April last year, the 12th General Assembly of the International Convention on the Protection of Plants (IPPC) was successfully held in Songdo, Incheon, where 360 national representatives from around the world participated in plant quarantine. In addition, for the development of the animal drug industry, various communication channels were established, including on-site meetings, workshops, and regular operation of visiting civil service counseling centers, and reduced the euthanasia rate of abandoned animals by improving the animal protection promotion and animal protection center operation system. As such, last year, the quarantine headquarters has been working tirelessly to create a

Korea Racing Authority, which boasts a three-year history, has faced an unprecedented crisis due to regulatory pressure such as the expansion of over-the-counter sales offices and the full implementation of electronic cards at a time when customers have plummeted 42% over the past 10 years and sales have been on red light. The Racing Authority has carried out internal reforms over the past year to overcome this crisis. It has focused on normalizing abnormalities by reducing employee welfare to the level that the public understands and introducing performance-based principles at the level of private companies such as top-down draft personnel to strengthen competition. As a desperate reflection on horse racing products that are neglected after such bone-cutting self-reflection, it has decided that "horse innovation" is necessary.

In addition, it contributed to the early end of foot-and-mouth disease by developing the world's first simple antigen diagnosis kit for three types of foot-and-mouth disease (O, A, and Asia 1) and applying it to the field. In addition, in August, through the reorganization of the quarantine organization, the quarantine monitoring department and the avian influenza research team, which oversees livestock quarantine, were established to strengthen their expertise in comprehensive response to livestock diseases and research and diagnosis of avian influenza. Since the first outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N6) in Gochang, Jeollabuk-do on November 17, it has occurred additionally in Yeongam, Jeollanam-do, and Jeongeup, Jeollabuk-do, causing concern to livestock farmers and the public, but with a sense of mission to eradicate it as soon as possible, we have made efforts to prevent further spread of the disease and to end it early through rapid precision diagnosis and epidemiological investigations

According to a survey conducted by the Board of Audit and Inspection, the amount of illegal gambling, which reached 53 trillion won in 2008, surged by 22 trillion won to 75 trillion won in four years due to excessive regulations on legal businesses, including the total sales system, restrictions on the number of businesses, adjustments to the upper limit of purchases, and bans on online sales. If electronic cards are fully introduced and regulations on legal business become stronger, the number of illegal gambling in 2018 is expected to increase out of control due to the balloon effect. In fact, according to the "Research Service on the Effect of Introducing Electronic Cards on Voting Rights" conducted by the Korea Institute of Public Administration in December 2013, 38.44 percent of respondents said they would use illegal gambling sites when introducing electronic cards among voting ticket customers.

My fellow Koreans and my dear employees of the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters, the new year of 2018 has dawned full of hope. Last year, I would like to express my gratitude to the employees of the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters for their service in their respective positions despite difficult conditions such as foot-and-mouth disease, the outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza, and the first discovery of an ant from a foreign country. The new year is the Year of the Golden Dog. Dogs are an animal that symbolizes bravery and wisdom, and they are also partners who have been with people for the longest time. The quarantine headquarters will also approach the people one step closer and become a partner to empathize and communicate with them. Despite many difficult conditions last year, the quarantine headquarters has produced excellent results based on its accumulated expertise and know-how.

Fourth, for balanced national development, we will focus on fostering regional specialized industries and fostering agricultural workers, the future of rural areas. By linking the second and third industries, such as processing, distribution, experience, and tourism, with local resources and special agricultural products, we will develop into the sixth industry to create new added value. We will contribute to balanced national development by promoting 'Innovative City Season 2' in earnest in line with the relocation of public institutions to the provinces. We will actively foster young farmers who will lead the vitalization of rural areas, including 4-H, and foster them as professional farmers who will lead the industrialization of future growth of agriculture through customized education for female farmers, those who return to farming and rural areas, while strengthening safety and welfare, including prevention of disasters, we will support the improvement of the quality of life of farmers.
