[Haenam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Yoon Jae-gap, member of the National Assembly (Democratic Party of Korea, Haenam·Wando·Jindo), received the 2021 Democratic Party ‘Outstanding Member of the National Assembly Audit Award’.

According to Yoon Jae-gap’s office on the 29th, during the National Assembly Agriculture, Forestry, Livestock, Food, and Maritime Affairs Committee audit, he pointed out issues such as military meal problems at risk of being replaced by low-priced imported agricultural products, the problem of dairy cow galbitang being disguised as Korean beef galbitang, and the hazards of imported salmon mixed with coloring agents to create a safe food environment.

He also led rural-urban cooperation for stable income security of farmers from domestic food companies benefiting from triple tariff benefits from the government, and proposed effective foreign worker employment system improvements for rural areas suffering from labor shortages due to population decline and aging, receiving a government promise for commercialization, demonstrating a substantial and genuine audit.

Assemblyman Yoon Jae-gap said, “As a representative of farmers and fishermen, I received a great award as a result of efforts to reflect the voices of the agricultural and fishery sites of Haenam, Wando, and Jindo in national affairs,” and added, “I will never lose my original intention and will always engage in legislative activities representing farmers and fishermen.”

Meanwhile, despite being a first-term lawmaker, Yoon Jae-gap achieved a grand slam by being selected as an outstanding member in the audit by the two major farmers’ organizations, Han Nong Yeon and Jeon Nong, last year, and this year he was also recognized as an outstanding member by the media, the Korea Fisheries Industry Federation, and the Korea Agricultural Management Association Central Federation, establishing himself as an expert in agriculture and fisheries policy.
