There are also strong criticisms against the ministry's push to use casinos on board by Koreans. The ministry has selected the development of cruise and marina industries as a core task of the ministry since 2013, and has been particularly obsessed with open casinos on board. However, the ministry buried it under the surface due to the Ferry Sewol disaster last year, but quickly brought it back when it passed a Cabinet meeting, including a decision to salvage the ship and an enforcement ordinance of the Special Sewol Act. In addition, critics say that when the "Act on the Promotion and Support of the Cruise Industry," which allowed on-board cruises, was reviewed by the National Assembly, he promised to "strictly restrict domestic access" but reversed his position just three months later when the law passed the National Assembly in February this year.

A year that has left a lot of regrets for our horseback riding industry is coming to an end. 2018 was a very difficult and difficult year for the Korean Horse Racing Association, which boasts a 70-year history and has led the development of horse riding in Korea. Due to the absence of the chairman and poor management, it has been designated as a management organization by the Korean Sports Association and is operated by the management committee. Over the past few years, horseback riding has become a hot topic with the public's interest and has quickly been forgotten. And the negative image of horse riding has affected the overall development of the horse industry, which was vigorously developed with the enactment of the Industry Promotion Act at the end of 2013, and many horse industry sectors are currently facing difficulties. In addition to the use of Korean horses,

Yeongcheon Mayor Kim Young-seok said, "We will make Yeongcheon an international horse-riding industrial city by converging Yeongcheon's own horse-riding culture software with hardware such as Let's Run Park Yeongcheon, Unjusan Horse Riding Center, and the base horse-riding center." Under the Horse Industry Promotion Act, operators who started operating private horse-riding courses or rural horse-riding courses are happy with lawmaker Kim Woo-nam's proposal for an amendment. In the case of other sports facilities, while the law on the succession of business following inheritance or transfer was clear, there were no regulations on horse-riding facilities. Meanwhile, operators of horse-riding facilities further point out that it is necessary to quickly revise conflicting laws such as the Horse Industry Promotion Act, Posting Act, and Farmland Act, which have been pointed out several times.

Yeongcheon City introduced the city brand 'Sky Run Yeongcheon' to build the image of the best horse industry city in the inland and raise awareness. The 'Sky Run', which is driven by the Yeongcheon godmother carrying dreams and hopes, expresses the hometown of horses, the city of stars, and the urban vision of the aviation industry. In addition, in October, the Korean Culture Month event presided over by the Joseon News Agency and Ma Sang-jae will be held for the first time in North Gyeongsang Province to promote Yeongcheon, the city of horses. The Joseon News Agency, a diplomatic and cultural mission of Joseon, sent a news agency to Japan 12 times in over 200 years, 11 of which passed Yeongcheon. Yeongcheon is the only place in the country where the Gyeongsang auditor gave a farewell banquet to the news agency and performed Ma Sang-jae on behalf of the king, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan.

Yeongcheon City announced that it will complete the base horse-riding center selected for the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry's public offering project in 2013 and start a two-month trial operation from the 13th of this month before normal operation in September this year. The Yeongcheon base horse-riding facility will train about 200 horses a year, including farm-produced horseback riding and retired horses retired from the racetrack, to convert them into excellent horseback riding, and contribute to popularizing horse riding in Korea by auctioning, breeding, and training professional manpower. Yeongcheon City said that Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park, which is being built as the largest in Korea in Geumho-eup, is preparing for an international design contest with 83 percent of the land compensation performance as of July, and that the Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park construction project is underway as planned.

It was not an exaggeration to say that domestic horse sales through auctions were severely sluggish, and it was a difficult year for the entire horse industry, including horse racing. Despite many difficulties and difficult conditions, our inland producers have been working hard to provide them with running and healthy horses that will win the championship. In addition, there were horses that were ranked first in various horse races, including the Breeders' Cup and the Gimhae Mayor's Cup in 2018.Next year, we will produce and supply better horses to repay the interests and expectations of our customers and show them excellent results. For racehorse producers who are in desperate need, the 2019 goal is to successfully promote Saemangeum Racehorse Production Complex. Saemangeum is not just a place where ranches are gathered.

Economic conditions at home and abroad are not expected to be smooth this year, and the Korean language industry, which is very sensitive to economic conditions, is also a series of tensions. The more difficult times are, the more we must join forces and show unity. Our association, which is the center of the nation's farming and fishing villages, plans to do its best to help the riding industry find and solve difficult problems by gathering your opinions and joining forces. Gyeonggi Province enacted the establishment and operation ordinance of the horse industry promotion fund at the end of last year and will be implemented from this year, which is a responsible role of local governments in the era of localization and is expected to contribute greatly to the development of the horse industry.

Looking back, the past year has entered the era of $30,000 in national income, and the leaders of the two Koreas met three times to expect the expansion of economic cooperation and reunification. It was the first year that the second horse industry development comprehensive plan was established and implemented in the Korean horse industry, and the student experience horse riding project has been greatly expanded, providing a foothold for revitalizing horse riding for future generations and revitalizing the horse riding field in the field. In addition, Jeollabuk-do has been newly designated as a special horse industry zone, and it is expected to play a pivotal role in the reversal of the horse industry in the Honam region.

In order to successfully proceed with change and innovation, understanding based on communication and empathy must be preceded, and the establishment of a system and foundation that will lead to change must be given priority. And the great integration of Korean horse racing is an urgent task. Above all, the biggest issue is the face-to-face integration. Currently, there are many facing deficits. The integration of Pukyong and Seoul will help to resolve the deficit and improve the competitiveness of Korean horse racing. The stable improvement of the horse racing system should provide high-quality horse racing and high-quality services to customers, and efficient horse racing operation to direct participants in horse racing. I hope that communication and co-prosperity will become a priority and that we will continue our efforts to establish horse racing

With the beginning of the new year in 2019, our members of the Seoul Racing Authority pledge once again. In an era of unpredictable upheaval, Korean horse racing now needs new leadership, and the role of our opponents, who are the centers of Korean horse racing, is becoming more important than ever. The members of the Seoul Racing Authority, the center of Korean horse racing, promise to move away from the framework of the past and protect Korean horse racing through more enterprising and dynamic leadership, and lead real change and innovation. In the new year of 2019, Korean horse racing will follow the symbolic meaning of the golden pig and dream of new hope and leap forward. Pigs have long been auspicious animals, the kidneys that drive out fertility, abundance, and mischievous spirits, and the source of wealth and luck.

There are a lot of horses in the upper grades now, so there is no big problem, but if the horse is removed from the upper grades in the future, it may be difficult to organize the race," expressed concern. Jang Byeong-woon, head of the racing system transition TF team at the Korea Racing Authority, said, "We are fully aware of the concerns of related organizations. The current situation is no bigger problem than concerns. We are always monitoring it, and if any problems arise, we will supplement them with flexible responses." Regarding criticism that the race record has slowed down, Jang said, "There are various factors that influence the race record. Therefore, it is unreasonable that the rating is slowing down the race record. The Korea Racing Authority is also constantly examining changes since the introduction of the rating system.

Despite these various efforts, the negative public perception of horse racing, falling sales due to the long-term economic downturn, the market erosion of the illegal gambling industry, and government-led regulations are getting stronger. In particular, various unfavorable factors such as the implementation of the 52-hour workweek and the still unstable employment system for managers have frozen the market, and the horse racing environment is deteriorating day by day due to weak investor sentiment in the face of each other. However, we can never stop the challenge. Although national policies and practical problems are hampering the development of horse racing, we should make all-out efforts to overcome the internal and external crises of Korean horse racing in the new year.

Over the past year, Korean horse racing has had an eventful year amid various efforts to overcome the crisis despite many difficulties. In recent years, Korean horse racing has had to go through a lot of painstaking efforts amid a storm of change and innovation, but it has gradually healed the wounds and walked on the path of new challenges and growth amid the efforts of horse racing families to find a new breakthrough. Although there have been many difficult and difficulties compared to previous years, there have been many meaningful events for the internationalization and advancement of Korean horse racing. With the hosting of the 3rd Korea Cup and the successful hosting of the Asia Horse Racing Conference, Korean horse racing has been gradually developing as a member of the global horse racing world.

There has already been discord among government ministries and agencies. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which is in charge of approval rights, clarified that it has never considered allowing Koreans to use casinos on board. This is because the current law prohibits allowing casinos on board by Koreans. The ministry's push to allow casinos on cruise ships to be used by Koreans is expected to have a significant impact on the legal gambling industry in Korea. In particular, the horse racing industry, which has seen its sales decline due to the growth of competitive gambling businesses such as Sports Toto, lottery tickets and casinos, while exhausting growth engines due to negative images and strong government regulations, is highly likely to be directly hit. As cruise ship casinos allow passengers to stay in for at least three days, leakage of horse racing passengers is expected to be inevitable.

Safety and environmental management in the production stage are the basic requirements for providing food that the public can feel safe about. In preparation for the introduction of a system to strengthen the allowable standards of pesticides, we have thoroughly prepared to implement the system by conducting circuit training for elderly farmers. In this year, the first year of implementation, we will operate around the system so that the system can be settled, and we will support visiting consulting and preliminary safety surveys to farmers. We will give the pesticide dealers an obligation to maintain records of pesticide sales and expand the target of record management to all pesticides. We will strengthen the standards and management of liquid rain spraying to prevent diseases and livestock odors by establishing facility standards for duck farmers.

This year, we will continue to adjust production including fallow season, and support other crop cultivation projects by linking maintenance and mechanization of drainage channels. Local food is attracting attention as an alternative distribution system that supplements the limitations of the current agricultural product distribution system and creates stable sales channels for small and medium-sized farmers and local jobs. Since 2018, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has been creating a pilot model to expand the supply of local agricultural products to 14 public institution cafeterias and military units in the border region in Naju Innovation City. This year, we will increase the proportion of local food in Naju public institutions and Hwacheon-Pocheon military meals to 40%,

Through the Innovation Valley Advisory Committee, we will discover promising export items and focus on overseas marketing as well as quality control. We will expand R&D support for the development of future food products and establish the national food cluster as a mecca for the high-tech food industry. The direct payment system for rice has contributed to the stabilization of farm management, but it has been pointed out that it has deepened the production overgrowth and lacks the function of stabilizing income for crop farms and small and medium-sized farmers other than rice. We will reorganize the direct payment system in the direction of embracing small and medium-sized farms and strengthening the public interest function of agriculture. Rice, fields, and unfavorable direct payments with different payment requirements

In addition, farming and fishing villages, which can be operated with small capital, have emerged as a pressing concern for numerous farmers, and farming and fishing villages have been rapidly expanding. However, there is a lot of controversy due to the overlapping laws applied to horse racing facilities by ministries and the different regulations and allowable ranges. Although the Horse Industry Promotion Act is still enacted as a special law to foster the domestic horse industry, the Posting Act takes precedence as a law that applies to horse racing facilities, and farmers who quickly started farming and fishing villages as the Horse Industry Promotion Act and the Farmland Act maintain different positions on horse racing facilities are becoming criminals.

Combining information and communication technology and cultivation technology, which are Korea's strengths, Korea's agriculture can also leap forward into a promising industry that competes with the world. Based on the Innovation Valley, which is scheduled to begin construction this year, we will create an innovative ecosystem in which manpower-technology-production is linked. We will provide young people with in-depth education on greenhouse environmental control and cultivation technology, and provide rental support for smart farms after graduation. By creating a demonstration complex, we will jointly develop new products and technologies with companies in the front and rear such as equipment and food, and establish an open platform for farmers and research institutes to share and trade big data

We will expand social agricultural practice organizations that provide healing and care services, and provide accounting services to various social economy organizations. We will remodel rural restoration facilities such as grain warehouses and provide them as start-up spaces, while fostering rural convergence management organizations that are linked to production, processing, and tourism. We will support young people to take root in agricultural rural areas. After graduation, we will pay a scholarship to foster young entrepreneurship on the condition that they work for farming, and create a 'youth rural home' with a living infrastructure that combines culture, leisure, and childcare. We will encourage local governments and local communities to take more interest in fostering young farmers by evaluating

Focusing on the public value of agriculture, we will consider farmers to be the confident actors who make good food and protect the environment, and we will boldly change our policy toward investing in people, including young innovative farmers. Accordingly, we will make creating jobs in agriculture and rural areas a top priority, maintain the vitality of the rural community, and actively pursue six key tasks to establish a production system that the people can feel safe about. Agricultural and rural areas have recently attracted attention as a 庫 for creating new jobs, with the number of employed in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors increasing by 59,000 year-on-year. We will make all-out efforts to continue this trend.
