Nonghyup will develop an experience ranch tour in the union sector, a horse riding experience program at Anseong Farmland and a ride course, and is striving to produce non-yuk horses to introduce proven horse meat to consumers. Nonghyup's horse meat brand Well Meat, launched in 2013, is reaching consumers not only by part of horse meat but also by retort food, and recently it has also been sold by E-Mart, a large retailer, to introduce horse meat to the national distribution network. When asked why Nonghyup entered the horse industry, Nam In-sik, managing director, replied immediately, "It is to ease the difficulties of livestock farmers." "Recently, as Korea participated in the ranks of advanced countries, its per capita meat consumption has risen to 45 kilograms per year, but the image of livestock farmers itself is recognized by young people as a '3D industry' and there is little inflow of young people.

In addition, in order to induce stable market entry by including horse meat in Nonghyup's distribution network and restaurant line, which have already been established as beef and pork, and to seek product standardization through the establishment of specifications management manuals such as the development of feed exclusively for horses, the government plans to set up a "Magyuk Brand Business Group" to introduce horse meat to the public. The National Agricultural Cooperative Federation has 139 livestock cooperatives across the country. The horse industry policy of the agricultural cooperative, which has a great influence, can affect anyone as well as 100,000 livestock union members nationwide, just like the butterfly effect. Before the new horse industry policy was released this year, Nam In-sik, managing director of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, met at the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation building in Seodaemun, Seoul, to hear detailed plans.

Candidate Oh Kyung-taek announced his intention to strive for the development of the association based on his experience in hosting various events such as the Yeongsan River Federation of Disabled Riders for three years after the association was designated as a management organization. Candidate Seo Jeong-suk then said that his experience in leading the school as the former president of the Korea Institute of Technology will greatly help him lead the association, adding that if he is elected president, he will play a role of supporting the institutional and operational aspects rather than leading it. After the announcement of the results of the vote at 4 p.m., President-elect Seo received a certificate of election from the chairman

I voted in person at the polling station on Thursday, and I chose No. 1. Teacher Cho and the martial arts players were all happy together. I think I gained confidence because it is a horse that has been winning consecutive games. Even if I didn't put much effort into it, the horse itself bit it and went out on its own and completely trusted the horse and ran the race. Entering the finals, "Meni Music" surpassed "Changse," but I thought the Korean language was ahead of me in endurance, so I continued the development without panicking. I used to be disappointed in the last step because I usually only used left-handed steps, but in this competition, "Changse" took steps using his right leg as if he knew how I felt. At that moment, I was confident that I could win and pushed forward as much as I could.

Especially, the ability of the horse itself is important, and the quality of the horse must be raised according to the size of the user. When a foreign company or large company enters the horse industry, the horse industry will fall into the quagmire of "workers." In order for the horse industry to take root in the private sector, it is necessary to further improve its quality. It is becoming difficult to provide subsidies to agriculture in foreign countries due to agreements between countries and public awareness. Europe is supporting agriculture by easily solving this problem, citing reasons such as 'clearing the water by farming', 'preserving the tradition', and 'beautiful the landscape'.

This is why the Cooperative Federation is working with the government by creating cooperatives by item. Taking sweet potatoes as an example, each farmer's area of actual farming is divided by the percentage of the total production targeted by the association this year, and a quota is given. Farmers can then farm and sell sweet potatoes up to this quota. If a company wants to enter sweet potato farming, it has to buy each quota from farmers, which the association oversees, so effective management can be done. The quota system is a way for technology to advance in order to improve quality.

Korea is currently the No. 1 importer of GMOs, and many large companies have already entered the livestock industry. Harim accounts for more than 80% of the broilers. If you feed Harim a specific feed to deliver it, it's as if a specific feed has taken over the Korean feed market. Not only the shareholders who bought Harim's stock, but as it became standardized, it also benefited from the linkage sector and took over the industry. It became easier to dominate the market. Recently, the government has started reducing the number of public enterprises. If the Korean Horse Association becomes a private company, the Korean horse industry will fall into the hands of foreigners in less than five years.

You need warehouses, special trucks, and connections with retailers such as supermarkets. Large corporations have capital so they can jump into the agricultural distribution business. Large corporations lend farmers farming funds to engage in agriculture, and farmers gradually produce agricultural products to repay their debts. Through this structure, farmers become workers, agricultural distribution erodes production bases, and it is fleeting for a company to fall into the hands of a company. The normal economic activity of a country was quickly destroyed when the Philippines and Honduras also became a "delivery company" for Delmont with one crop called Banana. Samsung Electronics also claims that 60% of its stocks are foreign shareholders.

Ahead of this competition, the number of days is not long, but I have strengthened my endurance by taking a long distance, which is considered to have sufficient potential. I will do my best to manage it with the goal of bigger races in the future so that there will be good results. Our manager of Mabang is proud to be the most diligent and sincere in Seoul. All the managers have come out early in the morning to manage their horses, and I am also visiting many places to find good horses to meet them. In addition to the rise of the jockey Lee Hyun-jong, I think the Trinity is working well. I think that if everyone is not happy and humble, the good energy will continue. Thank you to the boss and all the people involved.

Until the late 1960s, the station horse, which was used as the only means of transportation in the past, was preserved, and the mountain race horse race was held in Hwacheon, the place where the earthenware rice is grown, not in the plain speed field. Efforts are needed from various angles, such as saving Korean culture to attract the interest of the general public. When the Korean horse industry can afford, the Korean Horse Association should empower each horse-riding club. When a company monopolizes one industry, the problem grows. That's why LG CNS recently became controversial because it said it would produce tomatoes and paprika for the development of its smart farm business.

An instructor took away all the existing customers when he quit Anseong Farmland. The agricultural cooperative is making efforts to make it easier for livestock farmers to approach the horse industry with horse riding experiences for visitors while making Anseong Farmland. It has been making efforts to establish horseback riding as a national sport, and it was necessary to determine which "horse breeds" are suitable for horseback riding sports, youth horseback riding, and rural horse riding. The issue of varieties is not limited to horses. Holstein is currently the only cow in Korea, but there are about 200 cows worldwide. This started when German engineers at the Korean-German ranch decided that Holstein was suitable for Korea and brought in Holstein. Holstein was brought in seedlings and systematically distributed. Hanwoo followed a similar process.

When departments are divided, blind spots are bound to form. In order for an industry to develop, it cannot develop only when there are blind spots. In order for the public to enjoy the horseback riding competition, each equestrian club must take the lead in opening it. Depending on the winner of the equestrian event, many equestrian events must be held with a small amount of capital in order to make each province's reputation known. That way, many competitions in each equestrian club can naturally be expanded to counties, provinces, and regions across the country, and horseback riding can gradually become an entertainment and sports.

Dr. Chung Myung-chae, who met at the office of the Agricultural Technology Promotion Center in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, said that the horse industry should not be approached alone, but should help the private sector take root to ensure future industrial development. When I studied in Germany from 1982 to 1986, I first encountered horses as a horse industry. Unlike Korea, horse racing clubs are developed around a single horse farm. It is common to leave horses at the horse farm and borrow them from horse racing clubs. This will facilitate the operation of the horse racing club with only 20 horses. It is also possible to run in a large area per horse. Each horse was using nearly 2ha of grasslands.

Many books and documentaries have covered how Company M has grown and how it transformed farmers into 'workers' in one documentary in particular. Company M separates and divides farmers by making them pursue individual interests and then buys seeds every year. This is due to the over-monopoly of one industry. Dr. Chung Myung-chae is a former president of the Korea National University of Agriculture and Fisheries, and is currently an advisor to the Korea Federation of Rural Community Associations and co-chair of the Korea Rural Community Welfare Forum. He has also served as a presidential transition member of President Roh Moo Hyun and secretary for farming and fishing villages in the Blue House.

Cho Sung-gon is a leading jockey who commanded Pukyong. He became the first multi-win champion after debuting with 71 wins in 2009, and has played as the best jockey for three consecutive years with 84 wins in 2010 and 86 wins in 2011. After recording 100 wins (final 104 wins) in his first season in Pukyong in 2015, he moved to Seoul from 2016 and has a total of 41 wins. Cho Sung-gon added meaning by setting a valuable 700 wins in Seoul, which can be an uphill challenge rather than a stable performance in Pukyong.

In order to bring horses in, Anseong Farmland was transformed into an agricultural and livestock-based theme park, a remodeling work was done to turn the cattle on the ranch site into a massage. In this work, a contribution to destruction of grasslands, the installation of sprinklers and fire-resistant paint were required. Under the Sports Facility Act according to the horse-use business, a contribution to destruction of grasslands had to be paid, and the installation of fire prevention devices according to multi-use facilities had to be made. At that time, the grassland was 3,000 pyeong, so if it is actually bitten, it is on the verge of paying a hefty fine. According to the recent members of the livestock raising cooperative, such as beef cattle farmers, they have to quit the livestock industry and pay taxes in order to sell the ranch, so they cannot afford to continue.

Second, considering the future direction of the global horse racing industry, it is questionable whether the horse racing industry will grow into one. The horse racing industry should also be integrated and converged by forming complementary relationships with other service industries. Third, I want to make Jeju horse racing parks a tourist attraction on the theme of horses. I want to make people aware that KRA horse racing parks in Korea are not just places for horse racing. I think that's the right way to make them. In that sense, the horse theme park is a small attempt. The amazing thing about holding the meeting now is a test site for young people. It was an attempt to enjoy horse racing in a different atmosphere from existing horse racing fans.

At the same time, when existing livestock farmers are unable to sell their ranch land as they get older, they are included in the law as a "business site" and can be cut off by up to half in taxes. Currently, other livestock needs a lot of heads to join the cooperative, but only two horses need to be raised. The National Agricultural Cooperative Federation has started a project called "Anseong Farmland" with the horse industry as an alternative for such livestock farmers. Anseong Farmland, located in Anseong, Gyeonggi-do, began its business in 1964 with German engineers as a pilot industry for the settlement of cows in Korea, laying the foundation for dairy farming in Korea, and establishing specification management for other livestock species and spreading them to farmers.

Currently, there are seven international races in which seven countries participate, but from now on, the competition will be conducted in all aspects including the size of each country and the level of horses. The Korean government plans to expand the race step by step by dividing the race into three turrets every two years. In 2018, two years later, there will be at least 10 countries, and more in two years. The country is planning excellent international races in all aspects, both in name and reality. Horse racing has become a luxurious and sound leisure sport in advanced countries. However, it is true that Korea has not reached that level yet. Horse racing does not have a good image to the public.

Nam In-sik, the head of the livestock strategy division of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, was the one who laid the foundation by taking office as a ranch before Anseong Farmland, located in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, sought a new transformation into an agricultural and livestock-based theme park. Anseong Farmland is a pilot ranch that has been operated to settle livestock in Korea in the 1960s, and its role was transferred to the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation a few years later, becoming a place to lay the foundation for livestock by improving livestock species and distributing guidelines such as feed to each livestock farm. Around 2010, with the rise of organic livestock, efforts have been made to transform it into an agricultural and livestock-based theme park due to the need for "cultivation with the people," and Nam In-sik, the managing director, has been pushing for the theme park of Anseong Farmland for two and a half years.

We will do our best to make it to Part 1 in 2020, the 100th anniversary of Korean horse racing. Please not only have questions about the Korea Cup, but also give us good suggestions for the development of Korean horse racing." We are currently exporting racing to Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia, but we plan to expand our exports of racing in the future. In addition to unilaterally exporting it, we also have to import it at the same time. However, under the current law in Korea, imports of racing from overseas are restricted, which is subject to legal restrictions. We plan to start with importing them so that customers can see us racing overseas, such as in Japan and Hong Kong.

There are still eight years left until the retirement of the teaching profession, and I hope that teachers and students of Horse Racing Livestock High School will be active in the development of the Korean horse industry even if I go somewhere else. I am sure that the pie of our horse industry will eventually grow and develop if everyone tries to go together rather than running for the first place. Principal Lee Hee-soo, who was a scholarship officer in the vocational education department of the Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education, has worked hard day and night for the past three years to take responsibility for the topics of interest such as "employment" and "specialization" when he came to Horse Racing High School.

I hope that Seoul or each local government can help with horse-riding or horse-riding tourism. It is also necessary for local residents to increase cultural access to horse-riding and diversify sports. Before being designated as Meister High School, I communicated with the local community through visiting horse-riding classes. I tried to run a wagon for the elderly living alone, but I am having a hard time because there is no proper maro. We need to build a public horserace to provide welfare benefits to local residents and to serve the community through words. I always say this to my teachers.
