On-site farming will be internalized in all the work of all employees of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs so that farmers can feel the changes in farming. We will systematize the process of evaluating the results of the processing of on-site proposals and the degree of policy reflection, and discover and share best practices. In order for on-site farming to succeed, the voices of the field need to be more organized. We will provide support, including related legislation, to ensure the participation and communication of farmers and to revitalize the agricultural chambers with self-help capabilities.All the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will make ceaseless efforts this year to ensure that the country can grow without worries, consume with confidence,

Starting with eight local governments, we will also support the establishment of regional food plans so that a regional circular production-consumption system can be established. Consumers such as agriculture, local food stores, and school meals will be closely linked to contribute to enhancing consumer confidence and revitalizing the local economy. For the successful hosting of the Pyeongchang Olympics, we will make all-out efforts to block the spread of AI, while promoting preventive quarantine measures such as a duck breeding restriction system and a check on the subject of intensive management vulnerable to quarantine. To prevent foot-and-mouth disease, we will continue to check so that vaccinations can proceed smoothly, and we will also promote the establishment of a domestic production system for foot-and-mouth disease vaccines.

From July this year, a wider breeding density standard will be applied to new farms. We will support facility improvement funds so that livestock farmers can switch to strengthened permit standards early. We will introduce a breeding environment labeling system so that consumers can know and choose efforts to improve the breeding environment of farmers. For farmers who are striving to legalize unauthorized livestock, we will come up with relief measures after consultation with related ministries. There may be many difficulties, but please make active efforts to legalize them. We will prepare for mandatory certification of livestock safety management in large-scale laying farms and breeding farms. In preparation for the strengthening of the pesticide residual tolerance standard to be implemented from 2019

It also establishes a supply and demand stabilization system for horticultural agricultural products. We will strengthen the governance system between the government and producers' organizations for each item, like the Central Mainland Council, to adjust the supply and demand from the pre-production stage, such as adjusting the cultivation area. We will prepare a manual for controlling supply and demand throughout the entire production process from sowing to shipping, and increase the reliability of agricultural observation by utilizing 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.

The agricultural administration of the Moon Jae In government is a people-centered agricultural administration that values the income and quality of life of farmers, and the health and safety of the people. It is an innovative agricultural administration that pursues job creation and growth through creative destruction of existing practices. It is a sustainable agricultural administration that strengthens the sustainability of the agri-food industry and the environment, and the public value of agriculture and rural communities. It is a field-oriented reform and agricultural administration 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 in earnest reforming the agriculture industry

Since the enactment of the Industrial Promotion Act at the end of 2011, the horse industry has been growing rapidly due to the efforts of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, but has gone through a transition period in recent years. I believe that this time is not a recession but a leap period. After the leap period, we will soon enter the maturity period, so we believe that what we need most is the training of professional manpower before going into the stabilization period. Industrial training through specialized institutions is essential so that professional manpower with basic education can be directly put into the actual industry. The training manpower produced through this process will be of great help to the horse industry, which is struggling.

We have resolved the conflict over the agricultural industry. The issue of refunding preferential rice payments made in 2016 could be resolved smoothly by constantly talking with farmers' organizations. The issue of over-the-counter sales centers in Yongsan and Daejeon, which had been in sharp conflict with the local community for a long time, was also decided to relocate through social compromise. 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.

Is the current crisis in the horse industry an aftereffect of high growth or a pain from the wrong direction? I don't know what the reason is, but I think everyone is feeling the fact that horse industry sites around the country are complaining of difficulties.There are still bad news such as a decrease in the sales of racetracks, which are the pillars of the domestic horse industry, horse racing courses that are closing down, horse industry personnel with nowhere to go, negative perceptions of the horse industry, low-paying and difficult-environment workers, emerging companies that avoid the horse industry, companies that avoid support, avoiding horse production, and professional technical jobs that decrease jobs. If the crisis and pain give us another opportunity, it would be right to boldly put it on the operating table and cut out the rotting part to improve our constitution.

First of all, we considered stabilizing rice prices as the first step in restoring trust in the agricultural government, and through close communication with farmers' organizations and relevant ministries, we decided on measures to isolate 720,000 tons of rice from the market, the largest volume in history. 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. In addition, we have completed the domestic procedures for joining the Food Aid Agreement

In the midst of such a slump, the government and the Horse Association, an organization dedicated to fostering the horse industry, should support active and preemptive efforts to restore the industry, but it has not yet been recognized on the spot. However, we cannot deny that the horse industry is an excellent animal resource industry that acts as a bridge for urban-rural exchanges and increases income in rural areas and creates a healthy urban culture. Therefore, the government should boldly break away from the policy of fostering the horse industry, which is weak in sustainability, and present a vision to promote the integrated development of the horse industry through selection and concentration centered on the horse industry special zones from now on.

To improve the quality of animal drugs, we will provide customer-satisfying administrative services by handling civil complaints fairly and quickly, and strengthen the competitiveness of animal pharmacists' work by enhancing differential quality control through selection and concentration. In addition, to promote the distribution of high-quality and ethical livestock products, we will expand the certification of welfare farms to implement an animal welfare certification system that consumers trust and animals are happy, and review the establishment of a special judicial police to strengthen animal protection functions and revitalize the animal registration system, while strengthening cooperation with related organizations such as local governments to implement One Welfare together with the welfare of animals and people.

For high-risk reproductive plants, we will come up with measures to allow imports after lowering the risk of pests in the other country, and we will reevaluate the risk of imported plants by inflow route and item, and we will promote efficient quarantine by strengthening management of items with high risk of pests. In addition, in order to strengthen the safety management of livestock products in the production stage, we will expand the verification of livestock safety management certification standards for farms, slaughterhouses, and milk farms to ensure their internal stability, and further strengthen the management of distribution history for pork in addition to imported beef.In connection with 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

We will make all-out efforts to prevent the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza, which is currently occurring intermittently in duck farms, from spreading and to end it early. We will make preemptive and effective quarantine management possible through scientific epidemiological analysis based on information and communication technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data. To prevent the recurrence of foot-and-mouth disease, we will maintain the positive rate of non-farm antibodies at more than 70% and strive to achieve the goal of cleanliness of foot-and-mouth disease by establishing a site-oriented regular quarantine system. In addition, we will strengthen the foundation for plant quarantine, such as mandatory detection of pests and rapid control of high-risk foreign diseases such as foreign red fire ants,

The 2019 己亥 Korean Horse Training Association will develop a more scientific and systematic training program and work to improve the skills of horse racing in order to bring out the thrill and the ability of horse racing. By allowing horse racing to ride safely, horse racing will be popularized and serve as a driving force. To that end, we will focus more on the distribution of safe conversion of horseback riding. As a practical task, we plan to conduct several training sessions related to training for the whole country. We will also examine the differences between the group of horses that joined the horse racing park through the training test and the group of horses that did not, and examine whether Korea's horse racing is going in a desirable direction.

In the long run, I hope that Korea will work together to become the hub of the horseback riding industry in Northeast Asia. I ask for the government's active support, public relations, and interest in the 2019 Golden Pig Year. I pray for your blessings and health in the new year. Horse racing has suffered from a continuous decline in customers and a prolonged vacancy in the president of the association.There may be many ways, but I think it is more important than anything else to show the customers and the people in their respective positions in order to improve the marketability of horse racing and horseback riding.

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 diseases, the continued emergence of new and mutant animal diseases, the increasing demand for on-site problem-solving research, and the increasing public expectations for agricultural and livestock safety. The Agriculture and Livestock Quarantine Headquarters is a national standard quarantine and quarantine agency, and all employees will become one body this year and play their role as watchmen to defend against livestock diseases and plant pests.To this end, the quarantine headquarters intends to focus on setting up four core tasks with the goal of "One-Health, field-oriented, communication cooperation, future response,

I think it is a desirable idea to build a policy control tower for each local government through the center. The policy control of the production, fostering, and training of horses, which are livestock, is necessary to create an efficient management system in which horse riding facilities and farmers can quickly share information and receive what they need through regional cooperatives that have already established branches. Recognizing that reckless competition among these industries rather hinders growth, we need to induce a campaign of harmony and co-prosperity. In addition, public relations should be carried out to overcome the negative image of horseback riding.

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, and 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 were set up, 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 was reduced by improving animal protection promotion and animal protection center operation system.

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. In addition, we have implemented rapid control work with related ministries to prevent foreign red fire ants from entering and spreading in Korea.

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.

Present the contents of the standardized instruction plan for use in the pilot school. For the operation of the pilot school, it is necessary to develop a standardized instruction plan that the teacher in charge can teach. In addition, standardized instruction plans are also important as they serve as the basis for teachers to confidently educate students. Currently, each horse riding course where the school horse riding experience is conducted has a different instruction plan, and the more the base of horse riding is expanded in the future, the more likely confusion will occur. In addition, the development of standardized instruction plans can be the basis for being incorporated into the national-level curriculum. In order to incorporate horse riding into school sports, it is necessary to operate a pilot school,

Dirtbread, used as a racehorse, is a horse destined to run fast. In order to transform horses that have been retired from racing into horseback riding, training methods are needed to change horses from sprint horses to safe horses. Train the center of gravity that is tilted forward from the front to the back. Specific training methods can be learned through training, whether it is rough or rough. Of course, the horse used in professional sports in Japan is the European wormblood. A wormblood is a very different quality and quality of a horse from a racehorse used in daily sports. However, wormblood is difficult to popularize because of its limited number and high price. In order to popularize horseback riding, it is important to have a racehorse for the general public to enjoy and revitalize related competitions.

From horse production to fostering, training, and horseback riding in one place, there is no other organization like the Korean Horse Association. From horse production to horse racing, the key is to increase the efficiency of the horse industry and make a profit. Compared to Europe and the United States, Korea and Japan have relatively fewer professional horseback riding, but the number of race horses produced is higher. So it is important how to use race horses. And for the horse racing course management, it is necessary to increase efficiency and make profits. The Japanese horse industry was able to outperform Korea because of the good use of efficient race horses for horseback riding. As a representative example, I think the most important thing in our company was to cultivate and train race horses
