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 from being shipped immediately after detection, and all nonconforming eggs were discarded by conducting a full inspection. Along with this, we pushed for system improvement to prevent recurrence.

Thanks to this, rice prices, which remained at the level of 20 years ago, exceeded 150,000 won right after the announcement of the measures, and are continuously on the rise so far. The purchase price of public reserve rice and market quarantine grains from 2017 has also increased by 19% year-on-year, and the purchase price of 52,570 won per 40 kg bag of rice has been completed by the end of the last year.
