Yun Byeong-tae, Candidate for Mayor of Naju, Promises "Active Support to Overcome Livestock Farmers' Crisis"

Candidate Yoon Byung-tae Holds Policy Meeting with Livestock Organizations

"Rapid Crisis Response to Feed Price Surge Will Be Led by Naju City"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Yoon Byung-tae, the Democratic Party candidate running for mayor of Naju in the June 1 local elections, promised "prompt and sufficient support" for livestock farmers facing a crisis due to soaring feed costs.

At the "Livestock Association Policy Meeting" held on the 18th, Yoon Byung-tae, the Democratic Party candidate, stated, "We will promptly implement comprehensive measures such as supporting self-sufficiency in forage, advancing livestock manure treatment, and expanding the livestock budget to assist livestock farmers who are in crisis due to the global surge in feed prices."

In particular, Yoon emphasized, "Since the scaling up of the livestock industry, there has been a distorted perception that all livestock farmers are wealthy, resulting in extremely minimal policy support. Going forward, the Naju city government will establish a rapid response system for the livestock industry crisis and expand overall support policies."

At the meeting, livestock associations raised questions about measures regarding soaring feed prices, livestock manure treatment, and management difficulties of forage corporations.

In response, Yoon proposed specific support policies for each issue, demonstrating the policy expertise he has accumulated as an economic official.

Meanwhile, Yoon Byung-tae is known to be accelerating the establishment of a "Naju-type agricultural policy," starting with the announcement of "Naju's Strategy for Leading Digital Agriculture" on February 15, which presented concrete policies for the smartization of Naju agriculture.
