The Jeju Racecourse is a horse made in Jeju, and it is doing its part to preserve natural monuments and provide attractions by racing. With 28 years of history, the Jeju Racecourse should now be a horse race that goes around the world, not just a horse race. There are many countries in the world that race with local specialties. England's Sherland, Shire, and China's Yirima are also racing there. We wish Jeju horses the first year of globalization along with their unique varieties. We hope that you will show a lot of interest in the New Year to the people who race with small horses.

First, we will strengthen public-private cooperation research to put the original technology for localization of foot-and-mouth disease vaccines into practical use at an early stage, and build a new BL3 facility specializing in the diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease. In addition, we will promote the development of AI bio-toxic vector vaccines and the certification of avian influenza OIE standard laboratory to establish AI prevention technology. We will strive to develop technology to respond to diseases that are less productive in livestock farms and establish two-way channels with diagnostic institutions nationwide, and build a new quarantine laboratory facility to promote research on honeybee diseases.

We will also strengthen the management of non-vegetative routes by designating and managing items that are feared to be contaminated by pests through risk analysis, and conducting monitoring and surveys at ports such as Busan and Incheon for general containers brought in from areas where red fire ants are feared to enter. In addition, we will continue to make efforts to secure the safety of livestock products in the production stage, such as preparing measures to reduce antibiotics and establishing a consultative body for antibiotic resistance according to the results of monitoring antibiotic resistance in the livestock sector.

Myeonju Market is also expected to open. Gumi, where horse racing occurred naturally, is widely opening up the Myeonju Market, and Asia is also expanding its opening. In the case of Hong Kong, face-to-face registration is possible without restricting nationality, and Japan is also operating foreigners' face-to-face with certain qualifications.In the early stages of opening the market, the Korea Racing Authority plans to set the opening rate step by step through performance analysis after piloting about 15 people, or 2% of the current market size.

Despite our efforts, the possibility of national disaster-type livestock diseases and high-risk plant pests entering Korea is increasing day by day due to the expansion of international trade and climate change. In addition, due to the improvement of the quality of life, the public's eye level on the safety management of agricultural and livestock products and the level of animal protection and welfare is increasing. Based on the experience and expertise accumulated this year, the Agriculture, Livestock and Quarantine Headquarters will do its best to realize the "one-health public interest value for building a healthy and sustainable agricultural industry foundation.

In addition, strategic export quarantine negotiations with other countries allowed ships to Argentina and India, mushrooms to Brazil, and expanded our export market for agricultural and livestock products by resuming chicken exports to Vietnam and Hong Kong, which were suspended due to AI outbreaks. In addition, it was certified as the first Salmonella OIE Standard Laboratory in Asia, and the world's first commercialization of a simple diagnosis kit for foot-and-mouth disease was selected as the top 100 national R&D excellence, and the Plant Quarantine Nitrogen Filling Disinfection Technology was selected as the top 10 representative technologies to respond to climate change.

Last year, the runner-up at the Breeders' Cup, which is considered the world horse racing festival of the Korean Racing Association's K-Nix selection horse, "Nixgo," was a feat that gave great hope to Korea's stagnant horse racing industry, and I think it was the starting point for the horse society's efforts to bear fruit. We hope that the second and third Nixgo's birth will be returned to production and that the glory of true world championship through domestic horses will unfold as soon as possible, and we hope that the hopeful Golden Pig Year will be a year of great hope, luck, fulfillment of wishes, and a happy year for all of you.

I think the past year has been harsher and more difficult than any other year due to difficulties in sales, such as falling auction winning rates in our production sector, so the expectations and hopes for the new year are different. We hope that the fertility of pigs will facilitate production and the golden pig's energy will lead to higher auction prices and improved successful bid rates, making everyone rich. The spring day when horse racing sales continued to grow is gone, and now it is time to enter a new growth path with clean, fair and exciting horse racing to overcome the decline in horse racing customers and the decline in sales and the production of excellent horses to produce stama.

The purchase cap for male and female horses, which had been set at $30,000, will be abolished, while restrictions on the trading market will also be abolished. In the case of mares, the introduction of foreign race horses is also planned to be allowed. The introduction of male and female horses to compete will be allowed around 2018. Meanwhile, the Korean Horse Association plans to allow only 25% of the total number of foreign horses to be introduced in order to solve the difficulties of domestic horse production farmers due to the abolition of the upper limit on the introduction of foreign horses. In other words, the government will abolish the upper limit for the introduction of foreign horses and thoroughly restrict the operation of foreign horses to prevent them from turning a blind eye to domestic horses that are lagging behind due to the implementation of the integrated mountain racing and the introduction of the rating system.

In particular, horse racing sales have continued to slow down even though the number of races and the number of days released has increased since 2002, and the horse racing population has also been reorganized mainly for enthusiasts due to a sharp drop in new customers, down 42 percent in 10 years. An official from the Korea Racing Authority said, "Korea Racing Authority has reached the limit of race supply by continuing to increase the number of days released, and the quality of racing has deteriorated due to the expansion of the race supply, which has led to a drop in horse racing demand, resulting in a drop in horse racing's business performance, which eventually leads to a vicious cycle of expanding the race supply again," explaining the background of the race system reform, saying that essential approaches for innovation across horse racing are urgently needed to break the vicious cycle.

The Korea Federation of Horse Industry is seeking to export the racetrack system to neighboring Southeast Asian countries that are interested in Korea's system, such as the Philippines, to overcome the limitations of Korea's excellent horse racing model. It is also to find the two meanings of exporting the operating system and creating jobs. In addition, through collaboration with the horse-related organizations, we will proceed with the horse race, which is the general public and finds the meaning of symbiosis, and the meaning of horses, which are the representative companion of animals, following 2018 to further convince the meaning of familiar and shared horses.

Unfortunately, however, it has not yet been aired for general broadcasting due to the limitations of the broadcasting station's perception of horses. This is also the reason why the cooperation between the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the main body of the horse industry, and the Korean Horse Association is regrettable.The year 2019 is the middle of the second five-year plan to foster the horse industry, and efforts such as youth horseback riding to popularize the horse industry should continue, as well as strengthen their own formal league horse-riding competitions for subsidies and use, and spread public efforts that the whole nation is interested in.

While the second five-year plan for fostering the horse industry has been partially successful in two years at the end of 2018, the year of the golden pig has passed and the new year of the year has come again, which has not been able to overcome the limitations of improving awareness of the horse industry as a whole. In 2018, the Korean Federation of Horse Industries tested and implemented various contents to improve awareness of the right horse culture and to test the win-win model of interacting with the general public to spread the base of the horse industry. Through joint events to link the spirit of sharing, coexistence,

Since we do not have many such manpower yet, we need harmony rather than sharing. In addition, the equestrian facilities approved by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism are not only in charge of athletes, but are operated as the most important facilities for training horses, and I think it should be recognized as the most important sales market for farmers, especially as a seller of horses. Our industry is currently very poor and small in terms of industry. However, it has a very high growth potential in the future and has the potential to be spotlighted as a high-quality public sports leisure by the people.

Horse riding is an exercise that has been proven effective in mental and physical treatment through communication with horses as well as exercise effects." The Korean Horse Racing Association is pushing for a reorganization of the racing system to strengthen the competitiveness of Korean horse racing, drawing keen attention. Recently, the Korean Horse Racing Association announced "a plan to strengthen the competitiveness of Korean horse racing through the reorganization of the racing system" at a workshop for related organizations such as the Face-to-face Association and the Producers Association. The Korean Horse Racing Association said at the meeting that Korean horse racing is on beleaguered due to the government's consistent regulatory policy, the media that report Han Gun-style, the people's negative views, and the growth of the legal competitive industry, and that it is working on ways to strengthen its competitiveness to overcome this.

In addition, Vice Minister Yeo also suggested the possibility and direction for the horse industry to grow into a core of the creative convergence industry linked to leisure, sports and tourism, not the primary and secondary industries.Naoki Koike, chairman of the Japan Horse Racing International Exchange Association, who made his first theme presentation, suggested the direction of the development of the horse industry in Yeongcheon under the theme of "Internationalization Strategy for the Growth of the Korean Horse Racing Industry." He said that the era has come when the Asian country leads the world's horse racing industry, and said, "If Korea and Japan, which have their own horse racing systems, cooperate, we will be able to lead the global horse racing market."

Recognizing that reckless competition among these industries rather hinders growth, we need to induce a campaign of harmony and co-prosperity. In addition, public relations should also be carried out to overcome the negative image of horseback riding. Horseback riding facilities are for everyone, and most horse-riding facilities are not just horse-riding businesses for consumers, but are also horse-producing, nurturing, and training institutions. The main purpose and activities are the same wherever the approval authority is. It is necessary for the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to embrace the horse-riding facilities without separating them.

However, it has high growth potential in the future and has the potential to be spotlighted as a high-quality public sports leisure. In particular, it has been proven in advanced countries of the horse industry that livestock farming is a new alternative livestock industry that has high growth potential and a high vision for added value. Now is the time to take a breath for two steps forward, and the government needs to think about ways to take the second step forward rather than quantitative growth. It is a very important time to shake off the image damaged by the horse racing corruption and join forces to become a true sports sport.

Equestrian facilities are all horse-use facilities, and most horse-riding facilities are not just horse-use facilities for consumers, but are also horse-producing, nurturing, and training institutions. The main purpose and activities are the same wherever the approval authority is. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs needs to embrace the horse-riding facilities without separating them. This is a time when professional manpower is very scarce, and it is an important time for the horse industry. Since the skill of training horses is not a simple skill, farmers who simply produce horses cannot solve this part alone. Since we do not have many such manpower yet, we need harmony rather than sharing.

I believe it is a desirable idea to build a policy control tower for each local government through the center. The policy control of the production, fostering, and training of horses, which are livestock, is necessary to create an efficient management system in which horse riding facilities and farmers can quickly share information and receive what they need through regional cooperatives that have already established branches. Recognizing that reckless competition among these industries rather hinders growth, we need to induce a campaign of harmony and co-prosperity. In addition, public relations should be carried out to overcome the negative image of horseback riding.

As the Korean horse racing industry continues to decline, the horse industry diagnoses that the Korean horse racing industry has already fallen into a deep quagmire. Last year, the society conducted drainage efforts, including expanding the number of horse racing days and the number of races to the maximum extent to slow down the decline in sales, but in the end failed to calm down the falling sales. In particular, efforts were made to preserve sales by pushing for public holidays at the risk of friction with related organizations, but negative growth had to be accepted as a reality as it failed to preserve sales.

In 1999, we have been conducting horse riding classes for community service, and we have been working together to develop the horse riding industry. The newly completed comprehensive horse riding town has also been prepared for five years. I am a lucky man. I am just grateful that all this has been accomplished. Good things will happen to you, readers, if you continue to do so without giving up on the horse industry.In the complaint, the organizations claimed, "In the process of being approved for the relocation of the video racetrack, they submitted a false application to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry stating that "the area around the former place is a general commercial area, and there is no possibility of civil complaints, and the distance to the nearest school, Sungsim Girls' Middle School, is about 350m, which is not the area that is not subject to the relative purification zone under the School Health Act."

In order for the agendas presented through the discussion to be applied to actual industries, it is necessary to analyze successful advanced overseas cases and ask for help from overseas experts if necessary. Looking at the successful case of France that we benchmarked, the central government led the way to control the industry collectively during the transition period, separate operation of specialized agencies under its jurisdiction, and establishment of various policies for each sector have achieved the results of rebuilding the entire industry. In particular, we systematized children's education to increase future consumption demand, and as a result, we succeeded in establishing a very satisfactory riding industry.

It was built on a 60,000-pyeong school ranch with a floor space of 30,000 pyeong. Currently, it has 52 stalls and is working on various facilities to consider horses. As a luxury equestrian stadium, it will be able to play a big role in hosting various equestrian events in Jeju. We will also introduce facilities using experience data centers and sculptures to create a surrounding environment, a precious equestrian stadium where anyone can visit, and Jeju's landmarks. In particular, I have high expectations for the president of Jeju National University, as he has a clear vision for the horse industry and is generous with his support. The 95th National Sports Festival Equestrian Games, which will be held from October 28 to November 3, will also take place here. We will do our best to make the competition a memorable one with every effort to prepare for safety.
