The heads of agricultural organizations conveyed a common opinion that in order to turn the crises faced by rural areas, such as aging and climate crisis, into opportunities, the corporation’s leading role closest to the agricultural field and the Jeonnam Headquarters, which represents the main agricultural region, should take the lead in institutional efforts for agricultural development and demonstrate tangible results.

Head Jo Young-ho stated, “We take the difficulties faced by agriculture seriously and will make our best efforts to overcome the crises facing agriculture and rural areas and lay the foundation for growth based on today’s valuable opinions,” adding, “We will continue to frequently hold close communication sessions so that field opinions can be reflected in policies.”
