As a national standard quarantine and quarantine agency, the Agriculture, Livestock and Quarantine Headquarters will play a role as a watchman to defend against livestock diseases and plant pests at the forefront this year. To this end, the quarantine headquarters aims to set up four core tasks and focus on the core values of "One-Health, Field-oriented, Communication Cooperation, Future Response, Consumer-oriented, and Science Base" and "FIRST; Field, Innovation, Responsibility, Service, and Trust." We will make all-out efforts to prevent the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza, which is currently occurring intermittently mainly in duck farms, from spreading and to end it early.

Since the first outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Gochang, North Jeolla Province on November 17, additional outbreaks have caused concern to livestock farmers and the people in Yeongam, South Jeolla Province, and Jeongeup, North Jeolla Province, but with a sense of mission to eradicate it as soon as possible, we have focused on preventing the further spread of the disease and ending it early through precise diagnosis and epidemiological investigations. And as foreign red fire ants were found through preliminary observation at the container yard at Gamman Pier in Busan Port on September 28, we have strengthened quarantine and observation at major ports by mobilizing all available personnel. In addition, we have implemented rapid control work with related ministries

Last year, we would like to express our gratitude to all the staff at the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters for silently fulfilling their duties in their respective positions despite difficult conditions such as foot-and-mouth disease, highly pathogenic avian influenza, and the first discovery of an alien red fire ant. The new year is the Year of the Golden Dog. The dog is an animal that symbolizes bravery and wisdom, and is also a partner that has been with humans for a long time. The quarantine headquarters will also approach the people one step closer, become a partner in empathizing and communicating. Despite a number of difficult conditions last year, the quarantine headquarters produced excellent results based on the expertise and know-how accumulated so far.

Of course, I participated in the production of the Thoroughbred racehorse, which I decided after consideration, but in fact, it was a decision made when things were economically difficult, so honestly, the mental burden was not easy. So, I tried to lay the foundation of the ranch with my own determination, but when I started the construction, the burden of investment was burdensome, but the sigh that the difficulty exceeded the original expectation became deeper and deeper. Looking back, there were several crises. In the desolate mountains, it was not simple to build the foundation for a racehorse production ranch on a site that was even barren, and to strengthen it was not simple, and as the investment and efforts that had to be continued were paid off, the realization of the structural characteristics of the racehorse industry, which took a period beyond the general imagination to create room for reinvestment, was added, and there was a time when I was obsessed with frustration.

It was around the mid-1990s when Lee, who had a long-standing reputation for his attachment to the natural monument Jeju Horse and his passion for the horse industry, participated in the production of the Thoroughbred species. Lee is the one who was widely known for his efforts to build a foundation for grasslands and constantly expanding it through the lease of nearby sites. When he started the selection of the location of the Yongmun Ranch and the construction of the foundation, Lee recalled, "It was established and implemented while the effectiveness and success of the racehorse localization plan were confirmed through test production, but it was a new challenge for all participating farmers because they had almost no experience in breeding, producing, and fostering Thoroughbreds, and it was an adventure."

This year, the Winter Olympics, a festival of people from all over the world, will be held in Pyeongchang, Korea. In preparation for the Olympics, we will actively support it to be recorded as the most successful Olympics in which farmers and the people participate together, by more thoroughly preventing livestock diseases such as AI and strengthening on-site technical support to improve the livestock environment such as the smell of livestock.You will all remember that the birth of a world-renowned star named Kim Yu-na in winter sports, an unpopular field, made the whole nation happy. If there was Kim Yu-na in the Winter Olympics, we have you in our agriculture and rural areas. Your sweat and tears shed from the invisible for the development of agriculture and rural areas make our customers,

We will support the improvement of the quality of life of farmers by strengthening safety and welfare such as disaster prevention for farmers. 2018 is the year of the 'Golden Dog Year'. Dogs are considered another family as they are the most friendly pets to people. Rural promotion officials will approach farmers and the public with such dog friendliness, listen to the voices of the field and practice them. We will continue to innovate the way we work to establish an organizational culture that values the field and customers. We will strengthen communication with the field by thinking from the perspective of farmers and the public and reflecting the voices of consumers from the planning stage of the project.

Meanwhile, the funeral hall of Yongin's Serenity Forest, where the mortuary was set up, was followed by condolences from former and current elite equestrian athletes, including Jung Sung-kyu, secretary-general of the National Federation of Horses, Lee Kun-joo and Jeon Jae-hee.In addition, MBC comedian Bae Yeon-jung, who is known to have overcome depression through horseback riding, heads of horseback riding associations and associations from all over the country, horse-related school officials, including Pohang University's horse industry department, horse riding facilities officials, including the Gungpyeong Camp and Balan Horse Racing Club, the Korea Association for Treatment and Disabled Horse Racing, and related organizations, including the Korea Horse Racing Association and the Korean Horse Hoof Engineers Association, sent a condolence flower to see off the last path of the deceased, the "soul companion" through horseback riding.

After developing the world's first mini-antibody (3D8) protein that inhibits the proliferation of low-pathogenic avian influenza last year, we will continue to do our best to prevent livestock diseases this year by improving the breeding environment and strengthening the safety management system. In order to expand exports of fresh agricultural products, we will support difficult technologies in the field, such as leading maintenance technologies after harvesting, and strive to transfer customized agricultural technologies to developing countries as well as strategic cooperation with advanced agricultural countries.We will create new added value by linking local resources and agricultural products with secondary and tertiary industries such as processing,

To this end, we will develop precision growth management software by combining smart farm technology standardization, big data, and artificial intelligence with agriculture, and foster more than 100 smart agricultural experts every year to create a smart agricultural ecosystem.In order to actively foster the seed industry and agricultural biotechnology to enhance the competitiveness of the bio industry and to address concerns about GMOs, we will further strengthen safety management and expand communication with the public along with the establishment of a foundation for safety evaluation. While developing high value-added functional materials such as food and medicine using agricultural products such as insects,

While developing varieties and cultivation technologies that can adapt to climate change such as drought and heat waves, we will introduce tropical and subtropical crops to foster them as new income crops, and we will also strive to develop rapid control technologies against diseases and pests. We will protect the healthy diet of the people by establishing a safe food production and supply system such as eco-friendly ecological agriculture and safety management of agricultural materials. In particular, in preparation for the full implementation of the pesticide permitted substance list management system, we will expand the registration of pesticides ex officio and actively promote pesticide safety use education to produce safe crops and prevent damage to farmers.

This year, our agricultural and rural communities are also facing major changes and challenges such as expansion of market opening, climate change, and aging population, including FTAs. The huge wave of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which brings about innovative changes in the national system, society, and life as a whole, is also coming in. However, these changes and challenges can be new opportunities depending on how we accept and utilize them. As with the idiom "Wealthy people" meaning to ride the wind and overcome the waves, we must not shrink and prepare for the future even more boldly. In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the Rural Development Administration will seek answers on the spot at the level

The reason why we have been able to stay lost despite the strong waves and storms that threaten our horse racing has been because of the sublime history of 25 years of individual horse racing that all the horse racing families have pioneered together, and the faith and passion of all of us as we run toward the grand goal of advancing horse racing. In particular, the unwavering support and support of the horse racing fans, who have protected Korean horses so that they do not lose the essence and identity of horse racing, have been a great courage and encouragement for our horse racing fans to overcome despair and frustration and get back on their feet. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the horse racing fans.

Despite the unpredictable darkness and chaos, all of our racers have not stopped their great journey to challenge and challenge without giving in to despair and crisis over the past year.Entering Part II, the Korean Horse Racing Association, which started anew as a member of the global horse racing industry, began small changes in the field to strengthen its competitiveness, including the away challenge at the Dubai World Cup last year, the introduction of advanced overseas personnel, changes in race horse training patterns and the implementation of the break time system, and the improvement of horse racing infrastructure such as racers' long-cherished dream, such as racetracks and horse racing, also had a time of growth that began in earnest.

In order to establish itself as a leading farm in name and reality, it is diagnosed that there are many areas that need to be supplemented and further strengthened and expanded in investment and efforts. There is still a lot of work to do, but after patrolling all the paddocks, my physical strength becomes stronger and I often feel impatient. Fortunately, the firstborn, who leads Challenger Farm, is a racehorse production ranch manager who shows more passion than expected and is actually leading the overall management of specifications such as breeding, production, and fostering of my ranch, and secondly, it is a great help as he even helps with advice from time to time. The first representative Lee mentioned is Lee Kwang-rim, CEO of Challenger Farm, and the second is Lee Kwang-hyeop, director of Seowon Animal Hospital, a horse-specialized animal hospital. These are families of rich people and biological siblings. In other words, all family members are engaged in the horse industry and related industries.

Although the goal of integrated racing and entering Part II of Korean racing has been achieved, there is still insufficient support for the improvement of racehorses and the stable establishment of the production base, so I am concerned that the racehorses production industry, which is the basis of horse racing, will become an unstable house of thought.Looking at the unprecedented situation, such as the postponement of the CSAT due to last year's Pohang earthquake, the horse industry has not a solid production base and can collapse in an instant, so we look back on Korea's horse industry policy once again and hope that the completion of Part II and the era of natural Part I will come with the production of domestic horses that surpasses foreign horses thanks to the establishment of policies and investment that can develop co-prosperity.

Last year is remembered as a year that was truly eventful and difficult until the earthquake and fire disaster at the end of the year, in addition to the nation's anxiety caused by the national manipulation of state affairs, the impeachment of the president, and the nuclear provocation of North Korea. As the horse racing industry experienced a series of deaths of horse racing officials, voices for improved working conditions, and the rare occurrence of special labor supervision, I hope that the horse racing industry, including the horse racing business, is generally cold and exhausted. I hope that 2018 will be a year that has turned around with a new start like the sun of hope, as if we are exiting a dark tunnel.

When asked about his acceptance speech, Professor Park Geum-ran said, "I am happy to receive a commendation from the Minister of Agriculture despite many people who have made efforts to develop the domestic horse industry," and added, "I will take it as a meaning to contribute more to the development of the horse industry in the future and work hard."Meanwhile, Seorabeol University is actively engaged in volunteer activities related to rehabilitation horseback riding to enhance and promote the image of the domestic horse industry. The Masagwa of Seorabeol University participates in nearby rehabilitation centers for the disabled and events for the disabled every year to show rehabilitation horseback riding activities for social participation.

In addition, he participated in designing and writing national certificates for rehabilitation horseback riding in Korea, making efforts to establish a foundation for rehabilitation horseback riding in Korea and expand the base. Last year, he was appointed as an executive of the Korea Rehabilitation Horse Association and was designated as a cooperative organization for rehabilitation horseback riding in Korea. In addition, as an executive of the Korean Rehabilitation Horse Association, he attended the 2015 World Rehabilitation Horse Association General Assembly to attract the "2021 World Rehabilitation Horse Association" to Korea, and has been a member of the Gyeongju Regional Development Council, contributing to policy reflection for the development of the horse industry in Gyeongju.

Thanks to your efforts, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has prepared budgeting and business guidelines to implement the student horse riding support project from January 2018, and as a result, it is very encouraging to increase the utilization rate of the horse racing course even in winter, the off-season.A new beginning is always full of hope. The newly launched Korea Racing Authority (KRA) plans to do its best to solve problems such as livestock farming in the horse industry, the application of electricity to horse racing courses and horseback riding insurance as soon as possible. I believe that our ability can be doubled when we practice with earnestness. We will work together to solve difficult problems and contribute to the development of the horse racing industry.

Lee Yong-dae, CEO of Yongmun Ranch, is an "Ama-in" who celebrates his last year's 稀. Lee is a racehorse producer and owner (Seoul, Jeju Racehorse Park) who has a reputation for having a unique eye for picking seeds that he has raised with horses for almost his entire life. He travels around the racehorse industry with incredible 70 years of age, examines horses, and communicates with them. In addition, he will serve as a mentor to his eldest son, Lee Kwang-rim, CEO of Challenger Farm, and his second son, Lee Kwang-hyeop, head of Seowon Animal Hospital, who has been reborn as the manager of the racehorse production ranch since 1997, while at the same time asking for advice on the combination of Thoroughbred blood vessels, breeding and fostering with a learning attitude to awaken "humility" along with the importance of "lifelong study."

I hope you achieve everything you wish, and I wish everyone in the horse industry a busy and exciting year, especially as the sound of horse hooves shaking the earth and earth vibrates again. Looking back, the past year has been a very difficult and difficult year. The hard work that has been done for many years has collapsed overnight, and in particular, the image of the horse industry, including horseback riding, has been greatly undermined, the number of citizens visiting the horse racing course has decreased, and people have been criticized for not doing anything wrong. It is said that risks and opportunities coexist in crises. Taking lessons from the fact that we must join forces to show unity in times of difficulty, we gathered together to form the National Horse Racing Authority,

The Korea Racing Authority began a one-man protest and said, "Since its establishment, the integrated supervision committee of the gambling industry has focused its regulation and supervision on legal gambling projects within the system, while neglecting illegal gambling, which has shown a rapid expansion trend over the past five years." In Xi'an, which is being prepared based on the results of research services commissioned to establish the second comprehensive plan for the sound development of the gambling industry, the inspection committee gave the impression of focusing only on regulating legal gambling projects and foreshadowed excessive regulatory measures and measures," adding, "We are going into a struggle because we can no longer sit idly by."Choi Young-sang, vice chairman of the Korean Horse Association, said, "In the survey data of illegal gambling by the audit committee, the amount of illegal gambling increased from 54 trillion won when it was launched in 2008 to 75 trillion won in 2012."
