We will thoroughly conduct border quarantine at the airport to prevent the inflow of overseas malignant livestock infectious diseases and plant pests, and in particular, we will do our best to prevent the inflow of diseases by proactively responding to African swine fever, a foreign livestock infectious disease, monitoring and inspecting all countries at risk of entry, and strengthening foot-and-mouth disease·AI tests on imported portable agricultural and livestock 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 and pests and LMOs overseas, at borders, and in Korea. We will come up with a plan to allow imports of high-risk reproductive plants after lowering the risk of pests in the other country, and to reevaluate the risk of imported plants by inflow route and item and strengthen the management of items at high risk of pests.

A hopeful new morning has dawned in the 戊戌 of 2018. A new beginning gives us hope and expectation, and ignites challenges and passion. I wish you all good health and happiness in the New Year. I would like to express my deep gratitude to the farmers and the rural community who have wisely overcome the challenges faced by the agricultural and rural communities over the past year, including drought, hail, and avian influenza (AI). This year, our agricultural and rural communities are facing major changes and challenges, including the expansion of market opening, climate change, and aging population. A massive 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. Seungpung-blue (乘風破浪).

We will actively support the development of stem cell therapy, one of the new growth engines, and block the inflow by thorough monitoring of new and mutated diseases that can enter from abroad. We will become a national standard foreign pest research institute by securing expertise in plant quarantine fields such as strengthening the development of overseas plant disease diagnosis technology, prediction and control technology, and expanding overseas disease research safety laboratory facilities. In addition, we will become a world-leading animal and plant hygiene research institute by expanding international standard laboratories, expanding international joint research, and strengthening international cooperation. Fourth, we will make every effort to improve the quality of animal medicines and to promote animal welfare by establishing a mature companion animal culture where people and animals coexist. In order to improve the quality of animal medicines, we will provide consumer satisfaction administrative

In connection with the pesticide egg crisis, which has become a social issue, we will strengthen the Korea Food Safety Management Agency's authority to supervise management and conduct random inspections of HACCP-certified farms to improve the overall business process so that safe livestock products can be distributed, such as canceling certification when hazardous substances such as pesticides are detected. We will promote early export of items that have been suspended due to the outbreak of domestic diseases, support stable and continuous quarantine of items that are being exported, and maintain a systematic management and support for export agricultural products from the production stage to the export stage, and actively discover and improve difficulties and unnecessary regulations through meetings with exporters and consultations by item. Third, it will become a research institute for animal and plant hygiene that the people trust and lead the world through consumer and field-oriented technology

In order to prevent the recurrence of foot-and-mouth disease, we will try to achieve the goal of purifying foot-and-mouth disease by maintaining the positive rate of meat-and-mouth disease antibodies above 70%, and establishing a regular quarantine system centered on the field. In addition, we will strengthen the foundation for plant quarantine by making it mandatory to report diseases and expand inspection personnel, establish a nationwide forecasting network, and establish a forecasting control center so that high-risk foreign pests such as foreign red fire ants can be detected early and controlled quickly. In addition, we will advance the management of plant diseases and pests by using advanced technology such as unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned forecasting traps to quickly detect diseases and conduct scientific epidemiological investigations through genetic analysis. Second, for a clean Korea, we will establish a scientific-based and proactive import risk analysis and an efficient border quarantine

As a national standard quarantine and quarantine agency, the Korea Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters will work as a whole body to defend against the dangers of livestock diseases and plant diseases at the forefront this year. To this end, the quarantine headquarters aims to set and focus on four key tasks, aiming at the core values of 'One-Health, field-oriented, communication cooperation, future response, consumer orientation, and science base' and 'FIST; field, innovation, responsibility, service, and trust'. First, we will establish a field-oriented and ICT/big data-based livestock quarantine system and lay the foundation for the advancement of plant disease and insect management. We will make all-out efforts to prevent the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza, which is currently occurring intermittently in duck farms, and to end it early. We will ensure that preemptive and effective quarantine management can be achieved through scientific epidemiological analysis based

In addition, for the development of the animal medicine industry, various communication channels were established, including on-site meetings, workshops, and regular operation of visiting civil service counseling centers, and the improvement of the animal protection promotion and animal protection center operation system to reduce the euthanasia rate of abandoned animals. As such, last year, the quarantine headquarters has been working 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 to protect the agricultural and livestock environment." Employees of the Agricultural and Livestock Quarantine Headquarters and the people who care for the Agricultural and Livestock Quarantine Headquarters! The role and duties of the quarantine headquarters are becoming increasingly critical due to the global spread of national disaster-type livestock infectious diseases and high-risk plant pests and the increasing

In addition, through the reorganization of the quarantine organization, the quarantine monitoring department and the avian influenza research team, which are in charge of livestock quarantine, were established to strengthen their expertise in comprehensive response to livestock diseases and research and diagnosis. Since the first outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N6) in Gochang, Jeollabuk-do on November 17, additional outbreaks have occurred in Yeongam, Jeollanam-do, Jeongeup, Jeollabuk-do, causing concern to livestock farmers and the public, but with a sense of mission to eradicate it as soon as possible, we have made efforts to prevent further spread of diseases and to end them early through rapid precision diagnosis and epidemiological investigations. And as foreign red fire ants were discovered through preliminary forecasting at the container yard at Gamman Pier in Busan Port on September 28, we have mobilized all available personnel to strengthen quarantine and forecasting at major ports

The U.S. has an equestrian program at the peak of private education. Since we can't just stay in Korea, we send our students to Australia, New Zealand and other countries, but students who are challenged are more actively looking for jobs and having good experiences there. We are also preparing to support it with our own budget for globalization. When I went to Horse Park in Japan, I saw elderly people riding carriages. The horse industry also needs to expand to the silver business. I hope it can help tourism by dragging horses or by carriages in Seoul or each local government. It is also necessary for local residents to increase cultural access to horseback riding and diversify their sports.

My fellow Koreans and my dear employees of the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters, the new year of 2018 has dawned full of hope. Last year, I would like to express my gratitude to the employees of the Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Quarantine Headquarters for their service in their respective positions despite difficult conditions such as the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, the outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza, and the first discovery of foreign red fire ants. The New Year is the Year of the Golden Dog. Dogs are both a symbol of bravery and wisdom, and they are companions who have been with people for the longest time. The quarantine headquarters will also approach the people one step closer and become a partner to empathize and communicate with them. Despite many difficult conditions last year, the quarantine headquarters has produced excellent results based on its accumulated expertise and know-how. As an example, it laid the foundation for "vaccine

We are receiving support from the government for textbook development, teacher training, and budget, and we are conducting network construction and overseas training with companies from advanced countries in the horse industry with the Korean Horse Association. I was interested in specialized high schools and employment issues in the Jeonbuk region as a scholarship officer in the Vocational Education Department of the Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education. In early 2013, I became a candidate for appointment recommendation through the principal contest system, and when I was appointed in March, I felt a sense of responsibility. On October 1, 2013, the first year of my appointment, I was designated as a horse industry professional training institution, and I went to Lyon, France, where the horse industry fair was held, for three weeks to train with my students, and I thought about the education that our students need and how to teach them at a vocational school.

And my fellow Koreans! 2018 is the Year of the Golden Dog. Dogs are considered one of the most familiar pets to humans and are considered family members. With such friendliness, rural public officials will get closer to farmers and the people and listen to and practice the voices of the field. We will continue to innovate the way we work to establish an organizational culture that values the field and customers. We will strengthen our communication with the field by thinking from the perspective of farmers and the people and reflecting the voices of consumers from the planning stage of the project. This year, the Winter Olympics, a global festival, will be held in Pyeongchang, South Korea. In preparation for the Olympics, we will actively support farmers and the public to ensure that the Olympics is recorded as the most successful event in which both farmers and the public participate, by more thoroughly preventing livestock diseases such as AI and strengthening technical support for improving the livestock

In order to expand the export of fresh agricultural products, we will support difficult technologies in the field, such as leading maintenance technologies after harvest, and make efforts to transfer customized agricultural technologies to developing countries as well as strategic cooperation with advanced agricultural countries. Fourth, for balanced national development, we will focus on fostering regional specialized industries and fostering agricultural manpower, the future of rural areas. By linking local resources and agricultural products with the secondary and tertiary industries such as processing, distribution, experience, and tourism, we will develop them into the sixth industry to create new added value, and by promoting "Innovative City Season 2" in earnest in line with the relocation of public institutions to the provinces, we will contribute to balanced national development by revitalizing the local economy and creating jobs. We will actively foster young farmers who will lead the

We will develop high value-added functional materials such as food and medicine using agricultural and livestock products such as insects, while strengthening R&D so that urban agriculture and healing agriculture can spread into our lives, contributing to the improvement of public health and quality of life, and leading to job creation. Third, we will strengthen the competitiveness of our agriculture and expand global technological cooperation in response to market opening such as FTAs. In order to discover new demand and establish an export base, we will continue to foster excellent varieties to expand their supply, and secure the competitiveness of our agricultural and livestock products by improving the quality and productivity of livestock products, and expanding the sustainable eco-friendly livestock base such as animal welfare technology. We developed the world's first mini-antibody (3D8) protein last year that inhibits the growth of low-pathogenic avian influenza (AI), and we will do our best to

In particular, in preparation for the full implementation of the Pesticide Permitted Substances List Management System (PLS), we will expand the ex officio registration of pesticides and actively promote safe crop production and safe use of pesticides to prevent damage to farmers. Second, we will secure future growth engines for our agricultural industry and lead job creation by integrating the 4th Industrial Revolution convergence technology. We will lead the innovative growth of our agriculture by spreading Korean smart farms that can improve productivity and quality and reduce labor. To this end, we will develop precision growth management software by combining technology standardization of smart farms, technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution such as big data and artificial intelligence with agriculture, and we will create a smart agricultural ecosystem by fostering more than 100 smart agricultural experts every year. In order to actively foster the seed industry and agricultural biotechnology to

In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the Rural Development Administration will pursue rural development projects with a focus on the following four points: field-oriented and customer-oriented, which provide a strong boost to customers, in order to find answers at the level of farmers and the public for the sustainable growth of the agricultural industry through technological innovation and the leap forward of agriculture. First, we will strive for stable food production, such as stabilizing the supply and demand of rice, and safe food production for the people. We will expand the production base of rice suitable and field crops by cultivating field crops using rice paddies and developing mechanized technologies for field agriculture, and promote rice consumption by revitalizing the processing industry, such as the development of varieties and processed foods exclusively for rice flour. While developing varieties and cultivation technologies that can adapt to climate change such as drought and

It will serve as a foundation for exchanging information and promoting self-esteem. Thanks to your efforts, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has prepared a budget and business guidelines for the project to support student horseback riding from January 2018, and it is encouraging that we can increase the utilization rate of horse riding courses even in winter, the off-season. Riding facility managers! A new beginning is always full of hope. The newly launched National Riding Association plans to make every effort with the government to resolve the livestock industry, the application of electricity for agricultural use in horse riding courses, and the problem of horse riding insurance, which are rampant in the horse industry. I believe that our ability can be doubled when we put it into practice with all our heart. We will join forces to become the National Riding Association that contributes to the development of the horse riding industry by solving difficult problems. I wish you happiness

A hopeful new morning has dawned in the year of the martial arts. I hope you achieve everything you wish for, and in particular, the sound of the hooves of horses shaking the earth and earth will vibrate again, making it a busy and exciting year for everyone in the horse industry. Looking back, the past year has been a very difficult and difficult year. The hard work that has been done over the years has led to the collapse of the horse industry, and in particular, the image of the horse industry, including horseback riding, has been greatly degraded, and citizens visiting the horseback riding ground have decreased. Horse racing facility managers! It is said that risks and opportunities coexist in a crisis. Taking lessons from the need to show unity in times of need, we gathered horse racing grounds in rural areas across the country to establish the National Association of Horse Racing Businesses and set off to a strong start. The National Association of Horse Racing Businesses has come together with the

In the past, the industrial structure that was concentrated in the horse racing industry is changing to a leisure sport centered on youth and families through horseback riding. This is an industrial activity that helps livestock farmers generate income and a movement that conveys soundness to the public. Therefore, I am confident that it will ultimately establish an important position in the Korean livestock industry in the future. To this end, we need to develop a system and build a control tower that will foster experts and streamline management, and the main goal should be to boost youth horse riding in the future, which will increase demand. In addition, investment and efforts should be made to cultivate and assist horse producers in case demand increases. As a benchmark for France, the government led the way in controlling the industry, providing various support and public relations, and building an industrial foundation at a rapid pace. In the process, children's education was systematized to increase

I am Park Yoon-kyung, the representative of the Korean Equestrian Federation. The year of 2017 was the year of the red chicken. Perhaps that's why the candlelight vigils and major changes in the country took place, which were heated up. Unfortunately, at the center of the event was the "horse race" among the Korean horse industry's headlines, conveying bad images of horse riding every day. An incident caused tremendous damage to the entire horse industry, which forced many people, including myself, who actually ran a horse riding course, to overcome a very difficult time. Although there has been an unforeseen trial for the rapidly growing Korean horse industry through the first comprehensive plan for the horse industry, in some respects I think it provided an opportunity to publicize the unfamiliar area called "horse riding" to the public. Of course, it is believed that the time and efforts will be needed to recover from the fact that noise marketing has created an image that is too bad to be successful.

Seven years have passed since the world's only horse industry promotion law was enacted and implemented, but the most important revision of the farmland law in the passenger horse sector has not been made. In order to install rural equestrian facilities, existing farmland must be converted into sports land, but excessive farmland conversion charges are a big burden. In order to improve the reality that many rural equestrian facilities are currently operated without permission and without report, it must be resolved during the second horse industry plan. Only then can demand for passenger horse production be activated and lead to profit generation of professional passenger horse producers. If the producer association is activated, the development and production of excellent Korean-style passenger horses will take place naturally, and the livestock farmers' FTA replacement policy, which was originally intended by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, will be successful. We end the New Year's
