We will also strengthen the management of non-vegetative routes by designating and managing items that are feared to be contaminated by pests through risk analysis, and conducting monitoring and surveys at ports such as Busan and Incheon for general containers brought in from areas where red fire ants are feared to enter. In addition, we will continue to make efforts to secure the safety of livestock products in the production stage, such as preparing measures to reduce antibiotics and establishing a consultative body for antibiotic resistance according to the results of monitoring antibiotic resistance in the livestock sector.

Some discretion is required, but due to excessive authority, it was operated in a random manner that was far from the standard. One instructor took away all existing customers when he quit Anseong Farmland. Nonghyup is making efforts to make it easier for livestock farmers to approach the horse industry with horse riding experiences for visitors while making Anseong Farmland. It has been making efforts to establish horseback riding as a national sport, and it was necessary to determine which "horse breeds" are suitable for horse riding sports, youth horse riding, and rural horse riding. The issue of varieties is not limited to horses. Holstein is currently the only cow in Korea, but there are about 200 cows worldwide. This started when German engineers at the Handok Ranch decided that "Holstein is suitable for Korea" and brought in Holstein.

Despite our efforts, the possibility of national disaster-type livestock diseases and high-risk plant pests entering Korea is increasing day by day due to the expansion of international trade and climate change. In addition, due to the improvement of the quality of life, the public's eye level on the safety management of agricultural and livestock products and the level of animal protection and welfare is increasing. Based on the experience and expertise accumulated this year, the Agriculture, Livestock and Quarantine Headquarters will do its best to realize the "one-health public interest value for building a healthy and sustainable agricultural industry foundation.

In addition, strategic export quarantine negotiations with other countries allowed ships to Argentina and India, mushrooms to Brazil, and expanded our export market for agricultural and livestock products by resuming chicken exports to Vietnam and Hong Kong, which were suspended due to AI outbreaks. In addition, it was certified as the first Salmonella OIE Standard Laboratory in Asia, and the world's first commercialization of a simple diagnosis kit for foot-and-mouth disease was selected as the top 100 national R&D excellence, and the Plant Quarantine Nitrogen Filling Disinfection Technology was selected as the top 10 representative technologies to respond to climate change.

Last year, the runner-up at the Breeders' Cup, which is considered the world horse racing festival of the Korean Racing Association's K-Nix selection horse, "Nixgo," was a feat that gave great hope to Korea's stagnant horse racing industry, and I think it was the starting point for the horse society's efforts to bear fruit. We hope that the second and third Nixgo's birth will be returned to production and that the glory of true world championship through domestic horses will unfold as soon as possible, and we hope that the hopeful Golden Pig Year will be a year of great hope, luck, fulfillment of wishes, and a happy year for all of you.

I think the past year has been harsher and more difficult than any other year due to difficulties in sales, such as falling auction winning rates in our production sector, so the expectations and hopes for the new year are different. We hope that the fertility of pigs will facilitate production and the golden pig's energy will lead to higher auction prices and improved successful bid rates, making everyone rich. The spring day when horse racing sales continued to grow is gone, and now it is time to enter a new growth path with clean, fair and exciting horse racing to overcome the decline in horse racing customers and the decline in sales and the production of excellent horses to produce stama.

According to a recent survey of members who raise livestock, such as beef cattle farmers, in order to quit the livestock industry and sell the ranch, they have to pay taxes, so they cannot quit and cannot afford to continue. At this time, I thought I should get off to a good start because the 'horse' emerged as an economic breed and the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation started on a trial basis. As a result, while working as a ranch at Anseong Farmland, I have been working for two and a half years to remove cattle facilities and create horse riding facilities. Currently, many cattle breeders can only be traded in union facilities under the Cooperative Market Act in the sale of livestock under the Livestock Act. However, due to the absence of the Horse Trading Act, the current horse riding site has not been standardized for trading. There is still a risk that horses have to trust their intuition to buy, and Nam In-sik was no exception.

The Korea Federation of Horse Industry is seeking to export the racetrack system to neighboring Southeast Asian countries that are interested in Korea's system, such as the Philippines, to overcome the limitations of Korea's excellent horse racing model. It is also to find the two meanings of exporting the operating system and creating jobs. In addition, through collaboration with the horse-related organizations, we will proceed with the horse race, which is the general public and finds the meaning of symbiosis, and the meaning of horses, which are the representative companion of animals, following 2018 to further convince the meaning of familiar and shared horses.

Unfortunately, however, it has not yet been aired for general broadcasting due to the limitations of the broadcasting station's perception of horses. This is also the reason why the cooperation between the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the main body of the horse industry, and the Korean Horse Association is regrettable.The year 2019 is the middle of the second five-year plan to foster the horse industry, and efforts such as youth horseback riding to popularize the horse industry should continue, as well as strengthen their own formal league horse-riding competitions for subsidies and use, and spread public efforts that the whole nation is interested in.

Nam In-sik, a managing director who worked as a ranch at Anseong Farmland with a mission to turn it into a theme park, said he had many difficulties in the implementation process. In order to bring in horses, the company remodeled the cattle on the ranch site into a massage in order to bring in the horses while turning Anseong Farmland into an agricultural and livestock-based theme park. In this work, a contribution to destruction of grasslands, the installation of sprinklers, and fire-resistant paint were required. According to the Sports Facility Act according to the horse-use business, a contribution to destruction of grasslands had to be paid, and the installation of fire prevention devices according to multi-use facilities had to be made. At that time, grasslands were 3,000 pyeong, so if they were actually punished, they were on the verge of paying a hefty fine."

It also said it will continue to make various attempts in the horse industry for Nonghyup members. Nonghyup will develop an experience ranch tour in the union sector, a horse riding experience program at Anseong Farmland and a ride course, and is striving to produce horse meat to introduce proven horse meat to consumers. Launched in 2013, Nonghyup's horse meat brand Well Meat is reaching consumers not only by part of horse meat but also by retort food, and has recently made efforts to introduce horse meat to the nation's distribution network by selling it at E-Mart, a large retailer. When asked why Nonghyup entered the horse industry, Nam In-sik, managing director, replied immediately, "It is to ease the difficulties of livestock farmers."

While the second five-year plan for fostering the horse industry has been partially successful in two years at the end of 2018, the year of the golden pig has passed and the new year of the year has come again, which has not been able to overcome the limitations of improving awareness of the horse industry as a whole. In 2018, the Korean Federation of Horse Industries tested and implemented various contents to improve awareness of the right horse culture and to test the win-win model of interacting with the general public to spread the base of the horse industry.

Nam In-sik, the head of the livestock strategy division of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, was the one who laid the foundation by taking office as a ranch before Anseong Farmland, located in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, sought a new transformation into an agricultural and livestock-based theme park. Anseong Farmland is a pilot ranch that has been operated to settle livestock in Korea in the 1960s, and its role was transferred to the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation a few years later, becoming a place to lay the foundation for livestock by improving livestock species and distributing guidelines such as feed to each livestock farm. Around 2010, with the rise of organic livestock, efforts have been made to transform it into an agricultural and livestock-based theme park due to the need for "cultivation with the people," and Nam In-sik, the managing director, has been pushing for the theme park of Anseong Farmland for two and a half years.

Since we do not have many such manpower yet, we need harmony rather than sharing. In addition, the equestrian facilities approved by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism are not only in charge of athletes, but are operated as the most important facilities for training horses, and I think it should be recognized as the most important sales market for farmers, especially as a seller of horses. Our industry is currently very poor and small in terms of industry. However, it has a very high growth potential in the future and has the potential to be spotlighted as a high-quality public sports leisure by the people.

In addition, in order to induce stable market entry by including horse meat in Nonghyup's distribution network and restaurant line, which have already been established as beef and pork, and to seek product standardization through the establishment of specifications management manuals such as the development of feed exclusively for horses, the government plans to set up a "Magyuk Brand Business Group" to introduce horse meat to the public. The National Agricultural Cooperative Federation has 139 livestock cooperatives across the country. The horse industry policy of the agricultural cooperative, which has a great influence, can affect anyone as well as 100,000 livestock union members nationwide, just like the butterfly effect. Before the new horse industry policy was released this year, Nam In-sik, managing director of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, met at the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation building in Seodaemun, Seoul, to hear detailed plans.

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 also be carried out to overcome the negative image of horseback riding. Horseback riding facilities are for everyone, and most horse-riding facilities are not just horse-riding businesses for consumers, but are also horse-producing, nurturing, and training institutions. The main purpose and activities are the same wherever the approval authority is. It is necessary for the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs to embrace the horse-riding facilities without separating them.

I can't describe my joy because I won a horse race for the first time since the opening of the horserace. We will manage our horses more thoroughly to prevent this from happening once. I think luck followed this competition from the number draw. "Changse" is a leading horse, so I wanted to receive the inner number, but I had a good feeling to receive the gate number 1. I thought that jockey Lee Hyun-jong might feel a lot of pressure because he still has little experience in horse racing, so I ordered him to trust his horse and develop the race as calmly as possible because it doesn't matter if he wins a prize. Usually, there are many opinions that verification is needed for the jama of the "Forrest Camp" is needed over 1400M, but I feel that "Chase" will be okay for medium and long distances.

However, it has high growth potential in the future and has the potential to be spotlighted as a high-quality public sports leisure. In particular, it has been proven in advanced countries of the horse industry that livestock farming is a new alternative livestock industry that has high growth potential and a high vision for added value. Now is the time to take a breath for two steps forward, and the government needs to think about ways to take the second step forward rather than quantitative growth. It is a very important time to shake off the image damaged by the horse racing corruption and join forces to become a true sports sport.

The main purpose and activities are the same wherever the approval authority is. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs needs to embrace the horse-riding facilities without separating them. This is a time when professional manpower is very scarce, and it is an important time for the horse industry. Since the skill of training horses is not a simple skill, farmers who simply produce horses cannot solve this part alone. Since we do not have many such manpower yet, we need harmony rather than sharing.

I believe 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 order for the agendas presented through the discussion to be applied to actual industries, it is necessary to analyze successful advanced overseas cases and ask for help from overseas experts if necessary. Looking at the successful case of France that we benchmarked, the central government led the way to control the industry collectively during the transition period, separate operation of specialized agencies under its jurisdiction, and establishment of various policies for each sector have achieved the results of rebuilding the entire industry. In particular, we systematized children's education to increase future consumption demand, and as a result, we succeeded in establishing a very satisfactory riding industry.

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

Hanwoo went through a similar process. At that time, the unimproved Korean beef could only grow up to 300 to 400 kg, while the "Sharore" variety was evaluated as having very low competitiveness as it can grow up to 1 ton. Despite the fact that it was a difficult breed to compete in, it succeeded in increasing the body weight to 700 to 800 kg based on castration by repeated improvement of purebred cattle, and set out to differentiate it from imported meat with its unique taste. What is a Korean-style horse for horseback riding? Unlike racehorses, which have set targets for improvement under the Livestock Act, there is no set standard for horseback riding. The "Hallama" in Korea has the right size to stand on. Then, how far is the "Hallama" in Korea? Hallama is a cross between Jeju horse and Thoroughbred. As the cross between Jeju horse and Thoroughbred continues, there are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd crosshairs, and there are no guidelines on which crosshairs to be defined as Hallama.
