President Kim emphasized, "The history of our agriculture and fisheries has been a series of challenges, and Korea Rural Community Corporation has always been at the forefront," adding, "Based on the expertise and experience we have accumulated so far, I will take on new challenges together with all employees."
In his inaugural speech, President Kim presented four main management directions: creating sustainable rural communities bustling with people; establishing resilient agriculture domestically and expanding Korean agriculture globally; building a future-oriented foundation for agriculture and fisheries that can proactively respond to change; and transforming the corporation into a beloved institution among the public and farmers.
To achieve these goals, the corporation plans to actively promote the restoration of rural identity, expansion of the farmland bank, improvement of production infrastructure for field crops, expansion of overseas projects, establishment of a stable agricultural water supply system, broader application of smart technology in agriculture, and the creation of tangible results that the public can feel.
