[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Tae-in] The Agricultural Technology Center of Gunsan City, Jeonbuk, has launched a scientific farming service necessary for reducing farm management costs and producing safe agricultural products.

On the 26th, the Agricultural Technology Center announced that it has begun construction of the Scientific Farming Breeding Research Center for the production and distribution of safe food, which is scheduled to be completed in November.

The Scientific Farming Breeding Research Center will be newly built on a one-story scale (total floor area 695㎡) at 634-35, Unhoe-ri, Gaejeong-myeon, equipped with a safety analysis room, comprehensive inspection room, rice quality and variety analysis room, etc., supporting about 8,000 scientific farming analysis tasks annually to enable the production of safe and high-quality agricultural products.

The Agricultural Product Safety Analysis Room supports residual pesticide analysis in accordance with the implementation of the Positive List System (PLS) for pesticide residues, promoting pre-shipment agricultural product safety inspections and pesticide safety usage education, thereby inducing the production of safe food linked to eco-friendly and excellent agricultural product (GAP) certification.

In addition, in connection with the establishment of the Gunsan Food Integrated Certification System, the analysis function will be expanded so that agricultural products produced in our region can be supplied safely through local food, school meals, and public meals, realizing the definition of food and restoring community health.

Furthermore, the soil testing and rice quality analysis room will utilize soil testing for fertilization prescriptions to select customized fertilizers suitable for the region, and support rice quality analysis and variety inspection to help maintain the production and reputation of high-quality rice in our region.

Kim Mi-jung, Director of Technology Promotion Division, said, “With the construction of the Scientific Farming Breeding Research Center, we will be able to provide scientific farming services that support eco-friendly agricultural products, local food, and food plan projects, which is expected to help reduce farm management costs and produce safe agricultural products.”
