Various discussions were also held regarding the progress analysis of the grain business and development plans for the rice industry. In-depth discussions were conducted on the role of Nonghyup in government policy directions related to appropriate rice production, which has recently emerged as a key issue.

Chairman Sung said, "We are facing great difficulties due to the continuous decline in rice prices and sluggish consumption," and added, "To expand rice consumption, the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam Council should take a leading role in diversifying sales channels, such as hometown love donation program return gifts."

Head Kim Ju-yang said, "Although there is a shortage of paddy rice in production areas to the extent that the government cannot fully implement its market isolation plan, rice prices continue to fall. I hope everyone will work together to expand rice consumption and strengthen marketing activities."
