Regarding the pesticide egg scandal, which has become a social issue, we will strengthen the management and supervision authority of the Korea Food Safety and Management Certification Institute and emergency inspections of HACCP-certified farms by revising related laws to improve the overall business process so that safe livestock products can be distributed by canceling certification when harmful substances such as pesticides are detected. We will push for early exports of items that have been suspended due to the outbreak of diseases in Korea, support stable and continuous quarantine of items such as samgyetang, and improve the system for systematic management and support of export agricultural products from production to export,

Amid high concerns that the horse racing industry, which was likened to a "golden egg-laying goose" that does not know the recession, may eventually be on the decline, the Korean Horse Association reportedly proposed the total amount of horse racing prize money next year, raising concerns over the crisis in the horse racing industry, as well as over the prize money negotiations with horse racing-related organizations. The Korean Horse Association recently decided to freeze the total prize money for horse racing next year at this year's level, citing continued sales decline, and delivered it to horse racing-related organizations. With horse racing sales continuously falling, the management of the horse racing society has set the stage for an active tightening next year, and in the horse racing prize money category, the government's guideline of 2.8% increase is applied, but the total prize money is frozen by reducing 3% from face-to-face prize money.

We will do our best to prevent the inflow of diseases by thoroughly inspecting borders at airports to prevent the inflow of harmful livestock diseases and plant pests. In particular, we will do our best to prevent the inflow of diseases by preemptive measures such as monitoring and inspecting all countries of the outbreak of African swine fever, a foreign livestock disease, by inflow risk route, and strengthening foot-and-mouth disease and AI testing for imported portable agricultural products and strengthening plant pest quarantine. In the field of plant quarantine, we will establish a comprehensive safety management system that encompasses safety management of diseases, pests, and LMOs overseas, border, and domestic in border-oriented quarantine.

The adjustment of the site boundary of Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park is aimed at raising the awareness of the park by securing the right to view by incorporating hilly areas near the main entrance to the horse racing park, linking it to the development of Pungnakji, a nearby tourist area, and harmonizing it with the surrounding landscape.In addition, a large-scale amusement facility will be installed around the main entrance road of Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park to form a park belt and build a luxury horse racing park with the concept of a leisure and recreation space that can be enjoyed with family. At the working-level meeting held on the 8th, the government agreed to exchange opinions on the transfer site following the change of the boundary of the horse racing park and the opening of the access road, and to confirm the site boundary and facility layout as soon as possible.

In addition, through active quarantine negotiations with export partners, fresh agricultural products such as pears and tomatoes were exported to South America for the first time. In April last year, the 12th International Convention on Plant Protection was successfully held in Songdo, Incheon, where 360 national representatives from 120 countries participated.In addition, for the development of the animal medicine industry, various communication channels have been established, including on-site meetings focused on public-private communication, workshops, and regular operation of visiting civil service counseling centers, and the euthanasia rate of abandoned animals has been reduced by improving animal protection promotion and animal protection center operation systems.

Korea's racehorses have been selected as imported racehorses, beating the U.S., the world's largest producer of horse racing and producer of racehorses, because they highly appreciated the possibility of Korea's racehorses," said an official from the Korea Racing Authority. Meanwhile, the Korea Racing Authority has completely improved its production, fostering and distribution system for overseas exports this year.It made efforts to secure export markets by producing and sending promotional guides and English auction catalogs for recruiting buyers from Singapore, Malaysia, and conducting 1:1 purchase consultations. In addition, export quarantine facilities such as disinfection and access control facilities and outer quarantine barbed wire were installed to realize quarantine at the level of advanced countries.

As such, last year, the quarantine headquarters ran tirelessly to create a healthy livestock environment for animals and the people based on the efforts of all employees and to realize a border quarantine that protects the agricultural and livestock industry. The role and duties of the quarantine headquarters are becoming increasingly heavy due to the global spread of national disaster-type livestock infectious diseases and high-risk plant pests and the increased likelihood of entering Korea, the continued emergence of new and mutant animal diseases, the increased demand for field problem-solving research, and the increased public expectations for agricultural and livestock safety.

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. However, 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 discovered through preliminary observation at the container yard at Gamman Pier in Busan Port on September 28, we mobilized all available personnel to strengthen quarantine and forecasting of major ports.

However, there are also a number of people who are opposed to the plan. After hearing about the plan to pay for parking lots next year and the conversion of some seats to spectators, many horse racing fans complain that the plan is not to expand the service to fans who enjoy horse racing in a difficult economy, but to give double whammy. There are also concerns within the society that the project, which was being pursued due to the rejection of most of the business plans, is falling into place.The crisis in the horse racing industry due to the spread of illegal horse racing and the overlapping sales decline amid regulations by the Audit and Inspection Committee is now rising to the surface and hitting the horse racing industry.

Regarding the reduction of horse racing prize money, executives, including Kang Yong-sik, chairman of the Seoul Horse Racing Association, held a meeting with Jang Tae-pyeong, president of the horse racing society, but failed to find any significant solution.Since the launch of the audit committee, the horse racing industry has been underperforming the total sales proposed by the audit committee for three consecutive years until last year due to various regulations, and the decline has been more pronounced this year, leading to a widespread sense of crisis across the horse racing industry as it faces an unprecedented situation that did not even reach last year's sales. In particular, starting next year, the horse racing society seems to be mobilizing measures to minimize spending because it is difficult to expect a reversal of horse racing sales at a time when it needs huge project costs to build Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park as well as to raise funds for fostering the horse industry.

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.

However, there is one thing that can be regarded as interference, but it is the part where words are fed. Whether it's good or bad, I always talk about it when I go to the horseman's shop because I believe that eating well will help me run well. Everything else is left to the tutors freely. It is up to the tutors to decide who to pick up the jockey and how to train him. I don't know exactly why the strike was decided, but I think the strike itself was wrong. Anyway, the fact that it goes on to strike is proof that during the negotiation process, I didn't do well. Whether it's an assistant teacher or a horse manager, we have to gather and come up with the best plan to make it difficult to understand why they would go on strike.

When I ran a business before we met, I thought I should invest rather than make money in the first five years. Horses generally start running as racehorses from the age of 2 and run for about five years until the age of 7, and they decided that they should watch and experience the entire age cycle of racehorses at least once. So I invested 2 billion at first and spent about 1 billion more in the middle. Something is going well this year, which has been five years since its debut in 2012. At first, I didn't know much about horses, so I only listened to people's stories and bought horses, but there were many failures. I studied a lot in my own way for two or three years using such failures. First of all, I studied the ancestry of horses, which is the most important, and changed the way I chose horses.

At that time, I became interested in the 'horse industry' after seeing newspaper articles that stated that the country would foster the horse industry as a policy at the time. I thought that if Korea also enters the ranks of advanced countries, the 'horse industry' could develop into an industry. I thought it would be good to buy a horse yourself, buy a ranch in Jeju, raise a horse, and face each other in person. So, I bought a horse and became a racehorse. It seemed that it would be better when I entered my retirement life at the age of 60 to 70. I thought that it would be good for preventing dementia and that it would be okay as a hobby because I had to continue to use my brain to study horse lineage and analyze horse racing.

Meanwhile, the 33rd Chairman Jang Tae-pyeong and the 31st Chairman Lee Woo-jae are among the former heads of the Korean Horse Association who saved the "major." Former Chairman Jang Tae-pyeong, who served as Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and is from Muan, Jeollanam-do, was appointed as the 30th Honorary County Governor of Namhae-gun, South Gyeongsang Province, after his sudden retirement a year before his term, helping to combine management philosophy and leadership accumulated during his tenure. Namhae-gun established an industrial development plan late last year, is preparing to build a horse-riding land on Treasure Island by 2020,

Such as easing regulations on the installation of horseback riding facilities, and that the government's budget support is essential because there is no revenue model for the production and sales of horseback riding in Korea. There were also announcements that pointed out the lack of basic infrastructure in other industries except for the horse racing industry. Moon Yoon-young, head of the Korean Horse Association's Horse Industry Promotion Agency, said he was motivated to train professional human resources in the horse society, pointing out the absence of a professional manpower training system and career certification system that will lead the horse industry, and the lack of a linkage system to employment. In particular, he also announced plans to establish a new horseback riding instructor and promote national recognition in addition to plans to implement the horse industry qualification test on the 8th.

The Korean Society for the Study of the Korean Horse Industry (KSHRI), a research group under the Korea Society of Animal Resources and Sciences (Chairman Choi Yoon-jae, Seoul National University professor), held a "2012 Autumn Academic Symposium, policies to foster the Korean horse industry, and strategies to revitalize it" at the Ugok International Conference Hall of Konkuk University on Dec. 4. The symposium, hosted by the Korea Society of Animal Resources and Science and sponsored by the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation and the Korea Horse Association, pointed out the problems of the domestic horse industry, which is still in its infancy. However, at the same time, the problems were shown to be "possible" to foster the domestic horse industry.

In addition to Lee Yang-ho, chairman of the Korean Horse Association, Kim Bong-jae, chairman of the Gumi New Village, Yoon Chang-wook, a member of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Council, and Heo Bok, a member of the Gumi City Council, are considering running, while Chae Dong-ik, former head of the Gumi City's economic and trade bureau, and Park Sung-do, chief of staff for the North Gyeongsang Province governor, are also expected to face fierce battles in the party's primary as well as the main election. In particular, Gumi City, North Gyeongsang Province, Chairman Lee Yang-ho's hometown, is the third special horse industry zone, drawing attention for its horse riding, local tourism and school sports,

An official from Gyeongsangbuk-do said, "In order to differentiate Yeongcheon Horse Racing Park from other parks and create a national leisure recreation space that breaks away from the image of gambling, it is essential to install large-scale park facilities and amusement facilities."The Korea Racing Authority received promises to expand transportation convenience facilities and open access roads in Busan and South Gyeongsang Province as it pushed for the construction of the Busan Gyeongnam Racing Park, but even now, seven years after the opening of the Pukyong Racing Park, most of the promises on the access road as well as the expansion of transportation convenience have not been fulfilled.

He also mentioned positive effects such as a slight increase in sales and the cultivation of illegal horse racing, which he feared during his tenure. Currently, three final candidates, including former lawmaker Kim Nak-soon, have been notified to the Public Institution Steering Committee of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance. When the reporters asked if he would run for local elections next year, he said, "I don't know if we will see each other again after today," and added, "I'm preparing to go to my hometown and serve next year." It was the first time in public that he recognized the rumor of running for Gumi mayor, which had been circulating only.

Since the horse industry is in its infancy, it was quite thirsty for information. Many horse racing course managers had excellent management minds but were struggling with a lack of information. Currently, the Horse Industry Research Institute is conducting consulting research through analysis of best cases of horse racing courses. The purpose is to spread related information to poor horse racing courses through analysis of best cases. In addition, a tour of advanced cases is also necessary. The horse racing field, which is excellent in the horse industry, is rewarded, and there is also a need to provide a place for managers to see and feel in person through tours to advanced areas.

However, in order for the horse industry to develop, it is necessary to develop certain areas such as horse racing, not to regulate them, but to develop them together, and to have full support from the state and local governments. In other words, it proved that the horse industry cannot be biased toward specific areas, but is a convergence and complex industry that can create high added value. Dr. Lee Jong-eon (Nanji Livestock Testing Station), who presented "Customized Riding Horse Production," voiced the same voice. Dr. Lee, who claimed that "Without horse racing, the entire horse industry cannot grow." He argued that the horse racing industry should play a key role in driving the entire horse industry to train professionals in the production, supply, fostering and assistance of racehorses, and that the entire horse industry can be large only when it grows together with the horse racing industry and the additional industry (horse meat, etc.).

Research is needed on 'finding the role of public horseback riding'. Until now, support for project expenses has been mainly made to private horse riding sites, but now I think research and support for public horse riding sites are also needed. To lead the horse industry, it is difficult to have only a private horse riding site. Public horse riding sites can be a basis for maintaining and playing a public interest role because some local expenses are paid. Like the private sector, marketing capabilities may decrease, but they can play a public interest role such as job creation and rehabilitation horse riding by recruiting manpower required for public horse riding.
