As part of measures to increase farm mechanization, Jeju province will subsidise farm machinery to offset decreasing rural labor power.
An overhaul of cropping system is also underway to improve winter vegetable supply as overproduction is increasing every year. Farmhouse disuse is also becoming a serious problem.
In line with measures to make Jeju’s agricultural produce globally competitive, 500 million won will be injected to improve branding and R&D to spawn high-value agricultural businesses and community recovery, and realize a senary, or sixth-order industry by synergizing with secondary and tertiary industries.
A number of Jeju products, including those on the Ark of Taste list, will be promoted alongside food culture and tourism events. |
