In particular, it was a year of further damage to the operators of horse racing courses across the country due to some kind of incidents, such as Choi Soon-sil's manipulation of state affairs, which made the public aware of the bad image of the horse racing sector, and Jeong Yu-ra's special treatment for horse racing. In addition, it was a disappointing and regrettable year for professional horse manufacturers and horse breeding farmers. Historically, the year of martial arts is a year when eventful events are completed and combined. It is said that it is the year when the soil and the soil meet and blend into each other with big soil like Musan and liquor, so it is called the Year of the Golden Dog!! It is a auspicious year.

Crop accident insurance provides new farmers' safety insurance products that ease the rate gap between cities and counties by setting an upper limit on premium rates, and provide enhanced coverage to the level of industrial accident insurance. Through water system connection projects and drainage improvements, we will reduce frequent drought and inundation damage, and we will also implement seismic reinforcement for old repair facilities in preparation for earthquakes. We will actively respond to the ongoing negotiations on the revision of the Korea-US FTA in accordance with the government's position that further opening of the agricultural sector is impossible. We will promote youth employment and start-ups in the food and restaurant sectors.

Like the Central Main Country Association, we will strengthen the governance system between the government and producer organizations for each item and adjust the supply and demand from the pre-production stage such as adjusting the cultivation area. We will prepare a supply and demand control manual throughout the entire production process from sowing to shipping, and increase the reliability of agricultural observation by using advanced devices such as big data and drones. We will prepare for a complete reorganization of the direct payment system in the direction of increasing the unit price of field agriculture, unfavorable conditions, and eco-friendly direct payments, and enhancing the public function of agriculture and rural areas.

It is a sustainable agricultural policy that strengthens the sustainability of the agri-food industry and the environment, and the public interest value of agriculture and rural areas. It is a field-oriented reform agricultural policy that listens to the voices of the field from the perspective of farmers and the people. Starting this year, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will begin to reform agriculture in earnest to create a country where farmers can farm without worries and consume with confidence. We will focus on the top 10 major policies so that the national tasks of stabilizing the income of farmers, strengthening the foundation for the sustainable agri-food industry, supplying safe food to the people, and creating welfare and rural areas where people want to live can produce tangible results.

The upper limit for gift expenses for agricultural and fishery products and processed products has been raised from 50,000 won to 100,000 won. The upper limit for congratulatory events will be lowered to 50,000 won, but up to 100,000 won will be allowed when including wreaths. From this Lunar New Year's holiday, sales of agricultural and livestock products will expand, which will help ease difficulties in farming and fishing villages. I would like to thank the people for their generous understanding of the purpose of the revision of the anti-graft act. The income gap between urban and rural areas is still large, and agricultural income remains stagnant at the level of 10 million won. It is difficult to find young people in rural areas,

There was also a crisis situation. When red fire ants were found, emergency quarantine measures were taken to resolve the situation early. When an insecticide egg incident occurred, all farms were banned immediately after detection, and all unsuitable eggs were discarded by conducting a thorough inspection. In addition, we have pushed for system improvement to prevent recurrence. After fundamentally reviewing the problems raised at the time of pesticide detection eggs, the relevant ministries jointly prepared the Comprehensive Food Safety Improvement Measures. When setting the standards and items for livestock inspection applied in the field, prior consultation between the relevant ministries is mandatory, and when hazardous substances are detected,

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.

test008

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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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,
