They have made great efforts to overcome the existing misconception that only a few people can enjoy horseback riding. In order to popularize horse-riding sports and expand the base of the sport, large and small events were planned and held every year, and they approached citizens with various cultural festivals to enjoy and share. The Korea Federation of Horse Industry, in cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korean Horse Association, which are the central pillars of the horse-riding policy, always strives to make the government's horse-riding policy a hope for the people. Korea is the first nation in the world to achieve economic and political miracles in 70 years.

We should also spare no effort and investment in nurturing and assisting horse producers in case demand increases. As for the success stories of France that we will benchmark, the government led the way in controlling the industry to provide various support and public relations, and quickly established an industrial foundation. In the process, we systematized children's education to increase future consumption demand, and brought about very satisfactory results. Now, France has gradually shifted to policy management that induces self-development of the industry itself when the growth of the industry that has invested in such a way has come to some effect, and the activities of the organizations within each industry are playing a role in stabilizing and leading them.

An incident caused tremendous damage to the entire horse industry, which forced many people, including myself, who ran the actual horse racing course, to overcome very difficult times. The first comprehensive plan for the horse industry came as an unforeseen moment for the Korean horse industry, which was growing rapidly, but in some ways, I think it provided an opportunity to publicize the unfamiliar area of the 'horse' to the public. Of course, it has created a very bad image to be successful through noise marketing, so it will take great effort and time to recover. The horse industry is steadily growing in developed countries. It is changing from an industrial structure that was concentrated in the horse racing industry in the past to a leisure sport centered on youth and family through horseback riding.

The message I want to convey to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs at the Korea Horse Producers Association is that if the first horse industry plan was quantitative growth, I hope the second horse industry plan will develop in the direction of qualitative growth. Seven years have passed since the world's only horse industry promotion law was enacted and implemented, but the most important agricultural law revision in the horseback riding sector has not been made. In order to install rural horse riding facilities, it is necessary to convert existing farmland into sports land, but excessive charges for farmland conversion are a big burden. In order to improve the reality that many rural horse riding facilities are currently operating without permission and without permission,

In particular, it was a year that caused even more damage to the operators of horse racing courses across the country in difficult conditions 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 horse riding privileges. In addition, it was a disappointing and regrettable year for professional horse racing producers 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 a year when soil and soil meet and mix with big soil like Musan and alcohol, so it is called the Year of the Golden Dog!! It is a auspicious year.

In addition, we will strengthen the foundation for plant quarantine by making it mandatory to report the discovery of pests and to quickly detect and control high-risk foreign pests such as foreign red fire ants, expanding the inspection manpower, establishing a nationwide forecasting network, and establishing a forecast control center. In addition, we will advance the management of plant pests by quickly detecting pests that are concerned about exporting countries such as fruit trees and burns by utilizing advanced technology of unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned forecasting traps, and conducting scientific epidemiological investigations through genetic analysis. Second, for a clean Korea,

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 do our best to ensure that highly pathogenic avian influenza, which is currently occurring intermittently in duck farms, does not spread and is terminated early.

test008

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.

The new year of hopeful martial arts has arrived in 2018. Last year, we would like to express our gratitude to the staff of the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters for silently performing 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 and become a partner for empathy and communication. Despite a number of difficult conditions last year, the quarantine headquarters produced excellent results based on the expertise and know-how accumulated so far.

To enhance the competitiveness of the bio industry and address concerns about GMOs by actively fostering the seed industry and agricultural biotechnology, we will further strengthen safety management and expand communication with the public along with establishing a foundation for safety evaluation. We will develop high value-added functional materials such as food and medicine using agricultural products such as insects, while strengthening R&D to contribute to the improvement of public health and quality of life and to job creation by spreading urban agriculture and healing agriculture into daily life. We will create new added value by developing secondary and tertiary industries such as processing, distribution,

While developing varieties and cultivation technologies that can adapt to climate changes such as constant drought and heat waves, we will introduce tropical and subtropical crops to foster them as new income crops and strive to develop rapid control technologies against diseases and insect pests. We will protect the people's healthy diet 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 (PLS), 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.

Again this year, Korea's agricultural and rural communities are 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 old idiom that means to overcome waves with wind, we should 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 of farmers and the public

Donation Many people are participating in sharing this winter when the cold wave is raging, and the members of the Seoul Racing Association will continue to do their best to raise honor and pride as each other and to establish the right face that contributes to society. In the meantime, we have been able to stay lost despite the strong waves and storms that threaten our horse racing because of the sublime history of 25 years of individual horse racing that all the horse racing families have pioneered together and the belief 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 the Korean Horse Racing Authority

The improvement of horse racing infrastructure such as racers' long-cherished dream, such as racetracks and horse racing, also began in earnest. Members of the Seoul Horse Racing Association, which have led such changes and innovations in Korean horse racing, have devoted themselves to discovering better racehorses and maintaining their responsibilities, roles and core values despite stagnant horse racing sales and prize money. In addition, in September, they have taken the lead in implementing the Nobleys Oblige as a face-to-face, opening the Seoul Hyojeong School, the first visually impaired children's school in Korea that operates under the names of the current strongest horse, Choi Kang-siler, Clean Up Joy, and Mighty Gem.

Even horse racing had to suffer from the pain of being driven to an object of social deep-rooted evils, and it was a year marred by a series of suicides by horse racing officials and the decision to close over-the-counter sales centers in Daejeon and Yongsan. Despite the enormous social contribution of the horse racing industry, the negative public view of horse racing and the reality of Korean horse racing, which is gradually losing its place amid excessive government regulations, weigh heavily on our hearts even at this moment. As you can see, Korean horse racing has suffered greatly over the past few years, going through the throes of horse racing innovation. In the midst of a whirlwind of bone-cutting innovation, we have spent a fierce time for the right horse racing innovation,

Looking at the unprecedented situation, such as the postponement of the CSAT due to last year's Pohang earthquake, the horse industry has not had a strong production base and is designed to withstand the thought that it could collapse in a moment. We look back on Korea's horse industry policy once again, and we 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. We sincerely thank the horse racing fans who always give us a lot of love for domestic horse racing, and we will do our best to produce faster and stronger horse racing horses through improvements such as replacing excellent seed horses thanks to your interest and support.

As the horse racing industry experienced a series of deaths from horse racing officials, voices for improved working conditions, and the rare occurrence of special labor supervision, the horse racing industry as a whole seems to be cold and exhausted. I hope that 2018 will be a year when all these things are spent in the oil refining year and turned around with a new beginning like a new sun of hope, just as we exit a dark tunnel. Although the goal of the integrated racing of Korean horses and entering Part II has been achieved, the support for the improvement of racehorses derived from the process of achieving that goal has not yet been sufficient, and I am concerned that the horse racing production industry,

The Saemangeum Joint Production Promotion Complex, which the association is ambitious to create a joint production and promotion complex for racehorses by drastically reducing management costs and producing and fostering excellent racehorses in 800 ha of Saemangeum Agricultural Life Zone 6-2 and promoting the sustainable development of racehorses and Korean horse racing, has been reflected in the "Second Comprehensive Plan for the Promotion of the Horse Industry" organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, showing that the desperate hopes and hard work of officials inside and outside the association has not been in vain.

If you come to the inland domestic horse auction held in May, July, and October 2018, you will be able to meet high-quality breeding horses produced and nurtured by producers and training trainers under the support of Let's Run Farm Jangsu at a foam-removed price, so please pay active attention and participate. With about 3 billion won in incentives from the Korean Horse Association to replace seed horses, racehorse producers spent 7.5 billion won to introduce a total of 179 overseas excellent seed horses in 2016 and 2017. In order to prevent the outflow of dollars to imported seed horses for breeding purposes, an institutional mechanism is needed to induce natural circulation from race horses to seed horses by expanding the organization of preferential races.

With most farmers experiencing sales cliffs due to the liberalization of imports of foreign horses and the concentration of the top prize money, which has been carried out since the implementation of the horse racing innovation plan in 2015, it is desperately necessary to introduce a subsidy support system for closing down the market to preserve some of the investment in grasslands and facilities and prepare for a new livelihood when limited racehorse production farms close their businesses. The revitalization of auctions organized by a trustworthy association can no longer be delayed in order to ensure transparency in the distribution structure of racehorses and to form a fair market value for racehorses between many sellers and buyers.

test008

The direction of industrial policy at the end of 2018 should be to improve the quality of life of the people and revitalize the rural economy through fostering the horse industry. Specifically, the government should focus on expanding demand for the horse industry and creating a foundation for the horse industry, and also on the creation of a horse industry complex to strengthen the competitiveness of the horse industry and the revitalization of the horse industry special zone. In addition, the government should strengthen its capacity not only to create a foundation for the production and distribution of horse meat, but also to cultivate professional manpower in the horse industry and to promote the promotion of horse racing.

Although Korea now has about 30,000 horses, if you look at the history of Goryeo, you can see the record of having 1 million horses during the Goryeo Dynasty. This tells us that Korea was a horse powerhouse in Central Asia and around the world. Horse experts also evaluate that Korean guahamas, or Jeju horses, are much stronger than Mongolian horses. Given that not only citizens but also many foreigners showed interest and reaction to the Eurasian Altai Cultural Exchange Exhibition, which was held in Gwanghwamun Square in 2017 with the Seoul Horse Industry Association's "Seoul Horse Culture Festival," I am confident that the horse industry can become a major policy of Korea like K-POP in the future.
