From an objective and common sense point of view, the current strike is an "unreasonable demand" by the KCTU and a "bulldozer-style Monkey struggle" that is "acting as a bad mother-in-law who worsens the situation." In particular, as CEO Kim Byung-hong insisted on the struggle to raise the refund rate, it would have been nice if the KCTU and the union had emphasized the requirements of customers and fans, such as online betting and real-time broadcasting, abolition of admission fees and parking fees. "I hope that the horse society will not be swayed by or give in to brinkmanship but push ahead with its principles." Meanwhile, Kim Byung-hong, a representative of people who like horse racing, will have a talk at the Let's Run Park Bugyeong on Sunday, June 10, under the theme of "horse racing industry from the perspective of horse racing and customers" with Shin Woo-chul, Busan and Gyeongnam horse racing. The team of the Horse Industry Journal plans to plan and cover this talk as a special feature

CEO Kim Byung-hong said, "If the racing refund rate is raised, the issue claimed by the union can be put into practice," adding, "We hope that the union's work will be left to the union and the KCTU will actively fight for the increase in the refund rate." In addition, he said, "The only way for the KCTU to truly help the union" is to raise the refund rate, and only through this, "I think we need to know that the managers have a big pie." Lastly, from the perspective of horse racing fans and customers who earn less than 2 million won per month, most of them say, "I don't think we should shake off the poor pockets of our customers and fill the greed of our assistant teachers and managers," and asked back, "Is it fair that the refund rate remains unchanged and the prize money will increase every year?" Regarding the current situation in which the union's indefinite strike is underway, horse racing customers and fans generally agree that the Korea Horse Racing Association, the horse racing implementer,

Regarding the strike, he said, "Even if it is the right of the KCTU, we should know that horse racing is a completely different industry from other manufacturing and service industries," stressing that focusing only on income distribution rather than competition does not match the horse racing system, leaving behind the fairness of horse racing through free competition. Since last year, KCTU officials have been stationed at the Busan Gyeongnam Horse Racing Park (Let's Run Park Pukyong) and are aware of the fact that they have influenced many people, and the KCTU, the top organization representing the union, said, "At this point, there is only one thing that KCTU officials should do." Pitying the situation where no horse racing officials claim to raise the refund rate, and it is unclear whether or not it will change even if everyone is at the forefront of raising the refund rate, he said, "I think one thing is to persuade and fight the National Assembly and the government so that the world's worst domestic

[Horse Industry Journal] Reporter Lee Yong-joon = Kim Byung-hong, who has consistently voiced his opinions on pending issues in the horse racing industry, such as the abolition of double taxation on horse racing, the permitting of constitutional complaints and the increase in the Internet betting legislation, and the increase in the refund rate, expressed his position on May 31 on the situation of the strike at Pukyong. "The KCTU should leave the Pukyong racetrack through free competition, but paying attention to income distribution is not appropriate for the horse racing system at all," said CEO Kim Byung-hong in an article titled "The fairness of horse racing is achieved through free competition. First of all, regarding the indefinite strike by the Busan Gyeongnam Horse Racing Park branch of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions' public transportation union and the Busan Gyeongnam Horse Racing Management Workers' Union, CEO Kim Byung-hong said, "Don't incite people for their own benefit by encouraging

The Korea Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives strived to create a hub for the horse industry of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, and the Korea Livestock Cooperative Federation divided the roles of each institution into operating rural horse riding facilities and supporting the production of members' horses. The plan is to enable revenue generation throughout the entire process, including production, supply, consulting, consignment of training, and sales, such as the establishment of horse riding facilities in local livestock cooperatives. To this end, the company finally announced its vision to complete the "cooperative-oriented rural horse riding industry" by fostering related industries such as medical, tourism, and education. The launch ceremony of the horse meat brand business group was followed by an event to pledge to establish a sanitary and safe base for the production and supply of horse meat, as well as an exhibition of horse meat dishes.

In addition, it contributed to the early end of foot-and-mouth disease by developing the world's first simple antigen diagnosis kit for three types of foot-and-mouth disease (O, A, and Asia 1) and applying it to the field. In addition, in August, through the reorganization of the quarantine organization, the quarantine monitoring department and the avian influenza research team, which oversees livestock quarantine, were established to strengthen their expertise in comprehensive response to livestock diseases and research and diagnosis of avian influenza. Since the first outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N6) in Gochang, Jeollabuk-do on November 17, it has occurred in Yeongam, Jeollanam-do, and 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 the disease and to end it early through rapid precision diagnosis and epidemiological investigations.

The rating of each racehorse is usually a method in which the handicapper closely judges the race performance of the racehorse in the race, expresses and publishes the ability value of the racehorse in numbers, and determines the burden weight when competing in the race based on the rating figures. The Korea Racing Authority plans to first implement the first-tier handicap race, where the racing ability of the race is clearly revealed, to establish the basis for the application of the rating system, and the second-tier will implement it from November, when the racehorse rating is expected to stabilize. The rating will be published on the Korea Racing Authority's website and today's race, and the announcement will be made before 5 p.m. every Wednesday, divided into "general rating," which includes the rating of racehorses registered as first and second-tier racehorses, and "weekly rating change details," which include the rating changes of the previous racehorse.

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. We will contribute to balanced national development by revitalizing the local economy and creating jobs by promoting "Innovative City Season 2" in earnest in line with the relocation of public institutions to the provinces.

The Racing Authority, which is rushing to reorganize its racing system, has confirmed the introduction of a full-scale grading system next year. First of all, the Racing Authority will test-introduce handicap racing based on the grading system to the first team from October before introducing a full-scale grading system. The introduction of the grading system is part of the international standardization work of the Korean racing system, which is being promoted by the Racing Authority. It was a system generally implemented in foreign countries, but Korea only announced quarterly, semi-annual, and annual grading of racehorses. With the introduction of the system, the racing results will be announced every week, and the results of the race will be immediately reflected after the race starts, reflecting the changes in the racing ability of the racehorses in real time.

In particular, it said that even though horse racing sales have increased since 2002, the downturn has continued, and the number of horse racing population has also been reorganized mainly by enthusiasts due to a sharp drop in new customers, resulting in a decrease of 42% in 10 years. An official from the Korea Racing Authority said, "As Korean horses continue to increase the number of release days, the quality of racing has deteriorated due to the expansion of the race supply, and the decline in the quality of racing has led to the departure of horse racing fans, which has led to a decrease in demand for horse racing, resulting in a drop in business performance of the horse racing society, which eventually leads to a vicious cycle of expanding the race supply again," explaining the background of the race system reform.

In particular, in preparation for the full implementation of the Pesticide Allowance List Management System (PLS), we will expand the ex officio registration of pesticides and actively promote education on the safe production of agricultural products and the 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 the era of the 4th 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 through the cultivation of field crops using rice fields and the development of mechanized field agriculture technology, 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

A hopeful new morning has dawned in the year of the 2018 戊戌. A new beginning brings 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 rural public officials who have wisely overcome the challenges faced in agriculture and rural areas 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, including FTAs. A huge wave of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which brings about innovative changes in the national system, society, and life in general, 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).

The new year of the 2018 戊戌 has arrived. Happy New Year to all of you and horse industry officials, who are 900,000 horse riders nationwide. I wish you a strong and unstoppable year like running a horse. The value of life that people aim for is gradually changing. In the past, work used to come first, but now there is weight on the importance of work-life balance. The emergence of the travel and tourism industries and the attention of various sports reflect this. Taking this trend, Gyeonggi Province is giving support to horseback riding to become a "healing leisure sport." Until now, Gyeonggi Province has designated Yongin, Hwaseong, and Icheon as special horse industry zones and has established infrastructure for the horse industry by supporting horse riding facilities. Last year, the "Youth Equestrian Festival with Family," a festival for horse riders, was held on the site of the new office building in Gwanggyo-gu, Suwon. Gyeonggi Province plans to expand the horse industry this year with various projects

At the end of last year, we were able to inform you of the revision of the Enforcement Decree of the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act. The upper limit for gift expenses for agricultural and fishery products and processed agricultural products has been raised from 50,000 won to 100,000 won. The upper limit for congratulatory expenses will be lowered to 50,000 won, but up to 100,000 won will be allowed when including wreaths. We hope that from this Lunar New Year holiday, sales of agricultural and livestock products will expand, which will help ease the difficulties of farmers. We would like to thank the people for their generous understanding of the purpose of the revision of the anti-graft law. Dear farmers and the people, As we enter the early morning of 2018, our agricultural and rural areas are facing many difficulties both internally and externally.

In response to the severe drought last year, the government has drawn up an extra budget for water system connection and water development, and has come up with comprehensive measures to cope with the drought across the government. In addition, in order to alleviate the difficulty of recovering from the disaster, the unit cost of support for 20 items including the large number of green onions and pesticide units, which are in high demand on the site, has been tripled. Conflicts surrounding the agricultural sector have been resolved. The issue of refund of the preferential payment for rice from 2016 was resolved smoothly by continuous dialogue with farmers' organizations. The issue of over-the-counter sales centers in Yongsan and Daejeon, which had long been in sharp conflict with the local community, was also decided to relocate through social compromise. There was also a crisis situation. When red fire ants were discovered, the situation could be resolved early through emergency quarantine measures.

First of all, we considered stabilizing rice prices as the first step in restoring confidence in the agricultural government, and after close communication with farmers' organizations and related ministries, we decided early on a plan for the harvest season to isolate 720,000 tons, the largest amount ever, from the market. As a result, the price of rice, which had remained at the level of 20 years ago, exceeded 150,000 won immediately after the announcement of the measure, and has been continuously on the rise so far. The purchase price of public rice and market-quarantined grain from 2017 increased by 19% compared to the previous year, and the purchase price of 52,570 won per 40 kg bag of rice was completed by the end of the year. In addition, 50,000 tons of Korean rice will be provided to developing countries starting this year after completing the domestic process to join the Food Aid Convention.
