Shin Jeong-hoon Announces Pledge for 'Safe and Secure Farming' Agriculture Policy

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Shin Jeong-hoon, the preliminary candidate for the Democratic Party of Korea in Naju-Hwasun, Jeonnam, attended the regular general meetings of member agricultural cooperatives in the Naju-Hwasun area on the 30th and announced agricultural policy pledges.

Preliminary candidate Shin Jeong-hoon pledged "Safe and Secure Farming" with three main goals: realizing the public value of agriculture, increasing farmers' income, and strengthening the agricultural management safety net.

Preliminary candidate Shin Jeong-hoon promised, "Drawing on my experience as the inaugural Secretary for Agriculture and Fisheries under the Moon Jae-in administration, where I restored the mountain rice price from 130,000 won during the Park Geun-hye administration to the 180,000 won range, I will finalize the 'increase of the rice target price.'"

He also emphasized, "I will thoroughly implement basic measures such as the establishment of a 1 trillion won urban-rural win-win cooperation fund promoted as a countermeasure for the Korea-China FTA," and "I will expand and reform the minimum price guarantee system for agricultural products with supply and demand adjustment functions from the production stage, like the rice production adjustment system."

He stressed the need to revise the "Agriculture and Fisheries Disaster Countermeasures Act," which currently fails to properly reflect reality, and to prepare fundamental measures for agricultural disaster damage.

He plans to expand agricultural safety insurance to the level of industrial accident insurance to alleviate the worries of farmers and fishermen.

Additionally, he pledged to achieve results through consultations with the central government on fundamental improvement measures for livestock farming.
