In addition, current law requires that if a person obligated to pay a farmland preservation charge fails to pay by the deadline, a demand notice specifying a period of 10 days or less must be issued within 10 days after the deadline; in contrast, the National Tax Collection Act and related laws require the issuance of a demand notice specifying a period of 20 days or less within 10 days after the deadline.This amendment clarifies the reference date for imposing additional charges by extending the payment period

Assemblyman Park Wan-joo pointed out that the criteria for imposing farmland preservation charges are being applied identically to both “agricultural promotion areas” and “farmland outside agricultural promotion areas.” They explained that although “agricultural promotion areas” are designated by provincial governors to use and preserve farmland efficiently and restrict land use activities not directly related to agricultural production or farmland improvement, the standard for imposing farmland preservation

While serving as vice president of the Korea Rural Economic Institute, he participated in a forum on improving the horse racing tax system for the development of the agriculture and livestock industries, and served as an advisor to the Korea Rural Horse Industry Association. When CEO Jung earned his Ph.D. in agricultural economics in Germany in the 1980s, he was introduced to the horse industry; in a 2016 interview with the Horse Industry Journal, he emphasized the establishment of item-specific cooperatives, the introduction of a 'quota system,

Mentioning the necessity of changing the philosophy of agricultural policy and introducing an innovation system, he said, “We must emphasize the justification for government support by pointing out that the public interest functions of farmers require a price for their efforts,” adding that this is a time when the roles of farmers’ organizations, civic social groups, and the National Agriculture Forum are expected.Noting that the public interest function of agriculture had not yet been enshrined in the Constitution,

Representative Jung Myung-chae said, “It has been 10 years since we launched the National Agriculture Forum with the hope that agriculture would become an area of shared interest and collective effort among consumers, civil society groups, and the public.” She added that although the current state of the agricultural sector is a crisis, agriculture is a life-sustaining industry, so “drastic policies and national support are needed to revive our life-sustaining industry and maintain stable farm incomes and rural communities.

In the process, I think they accepted who I am. Since equestrianism is a long-term sport, with a gold medalist at the Rio Olympics being around fifty-six years old, I will work tirelessly with passion to live up to those expectations.The selection trials will be held over three rounds on May 31, June 2, and June 4. I competed in the last Incheon Asian Games, and since I know what it feels like, I want to give it another try. I’ll work hard to repay all the support, and I hope to return to Belgium with a smile.

Auctions for young horses are held from time to time, and horses circulate, keeping the economy moving.I learned under Coach Kim Seung-hwan from a young age, and through my interactions with Coach Rivein, whom I was acquainted with at the time, I formed a connection with Belgium. Europe has a completely different equestrian system from Korea, and as the birthplace of equestrianism, I am active here. Since I was young, I thought I should ride horses well in Korea and eventually make it to Europe.

First, they sponsored me through the Steven Equestrian Club, and after hearing my situation, they also helped me through K-Toto. Ges Korea provided in-kind sponsorship to make it easier for me to work out.In Europe, the horse industry plays such an industrial role that there is a saying, “cash circulates because of horses.” There is a cycle, such as producing and training young horses to sell, or buying them when they are young and raising them into fine horses for resale. Sometimes, athletes enter competitions with flattering words,

Looking at the horses competing in Korea, it is clear that not much has changed from the past. Still, when the domestic equestrian scene was doing well, we would buy horses in Europe and bring in quality ones. However, the horse that ran in the 2014 Asian Games is still running without being rotated. I believe that if companies and others provide support, the conversation will circulate and a better equestrian environment and culture will be created.Of course. It's an important point

It was certainly not an easy case. In my case, I had to travel from Europe to Korea, and the horse transportation costs were no small matter. To transport horses, an air container is required, which costs more than 40 million won for a round trip. I came to Korea with great difficulty and help, and I will work hard with the mindset of being selected.Since I started competing in Europe right after the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, I don't know the situation in the domestic equestrian scene exactly.

Since 2015, the agricultural corporation Donbak Co., Ltd. has been hosting the '20-ri Along the Lotus Path Festival' every July as a signature event featuring lotus flowers and lotus roots. This event features a variety of programs, including lotus root cultivation experiences, a photography contest, and a lotus flower concert, creating a synergy effect that raises awareness of lotus root products and encourages consumption.The 20-ri trail along the Lotus Path is adjacent to the Miryang Theater Village,

If applications are received within the deadline, acceptance will be notified after document screening. Our graduate school offers a variety of scholarships and a wide range of majors, so you should choose one that interests you. The tuition is also relatively affordable, at around 3.7 million won. And upon completing the master's program, you may receive preferential treatment when applying for a doctoral program at Sejong University.For the equestrian industry to grow and develop, local riding centers must have their own grading system. And they must provide services and marketing that match that level.

Of course not. We will invite top experts from the horse industry to conduct the classes. Someone who has both skill and reputation. Since it is a graduate program, it would likely be for someone with a master's degree or higher. Some may question the absence of a curriculum. This may be a point of misunderstanding for some, but the basic curriculum of our graduate school is well established. It is well structured, segmented into marketing, services, distribution, facility management, events, and more. They are integrating the 'horse industry' to specialize in this. We will invite top experts in the equine industry as professors to deliver the best courses.

For example, in the process of studying regulations, students study laws related to the horse industry, and in the history course, they learn about the culture and history of the horse industry as a whole.Conducted via remote class over the internet. You can receive education conveniently anytime and anywhere, beyond time and space. Whether you are abroad or in a regional area, as long as you have the will, you can learn. If you want to learn about the Korean language industry, you are not limited by spatial constraints, even in countries like China and Southeast Asia. Since the courses can be conducted from a distance, instructors currently teaching can earn their master's degrees without having to come to the classroom. And it is also possible to graduate by completing major courses instead of a thesis.

Golf, considered a nearby leisure sport, makes good use of this. In the past, golf instructors would pressure their clients by boasting that they were former players while teaching. However, as golf became more popular and widespread, the market grew and competition intensified. In addition, as consumers’ understanding of golf has improved, the industry has shifted from focusing on brands to a more customer-centric approach. The equestrian industry could do better by paying a little more attention and following suit, but they are not making such efforts. These are also the reasons I began studying the major of 'Horse Industry Management" at the Graduate School of Industry.

TEST008

The reason for operating and developing facilities, marketing, distribution, services, events, and program planning is for the consumers. The consumer market needs to be consumer-centered for it to thrive, but currently, the equestrian industry is centered on riding facilities rather than consumers. Whether it’s hiring former athletes as instructors, prioritizing horses, or focusing on facilities and atmosphere, it is not consumer-centered. Other leisure sports, including golf, are already breaking away from those past images. Facilities are being developed with the customer in mind, and events, programs, and communication services are being implemented, but the equestrian industry remains stuck in the past.
