View original image[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] South Korea, China, Russia, and Mongolia are jointly promoting a smart agriculture research project in the Greater Tumen Region. The plan is to propose smart agriculture development strategies across the area spanning Busan, Primorsky Krai, and Inner Mongolia.
On the 13th, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced that through the Greater Tumen Initiative (GTI) Agricultural Committee, a consultative body among the four countries, the project will be carried out by September. GTI is part of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) regional cooperation program, jointly conducted by the four countries to promote regional development and economic cooperation in Northeast Asia. The final report is scheduled to be presented at the 6th GTI Committee meeting in September. After discussing regional agricultural cooperation measures since 2016, the Ministry is now undertaking the first joint GTI project.
The Greater Tumen Region is an area with large fertile lands and significant agricultural potential. It is also a region where smart agriculture development is necessary to respond to climate change and food crises. Through this project, natural environmental conditions for smart agriculture introduction, current agricultural policies and technologies, and target crops will be investigated, and short- and mid-to-long-term plans for smart agriculture development will be proposed.
