Representatives of attending companies conveyed on-site voices including policy suggestions for customized support for companies in aging agricultural industrial complexes, operation of cooperative projects between central and local governments, and the establishment of job innovation models, as well as management difficulties.


Agricultural industrial complexes have served as key infrastructure for the development of rural industries, regional balanced development, and national economic growth for over 40 years since their first establishment in 1984, but recently, due to the increase of aging complexes over the past 20 years and the outflow of rural populations, revitalization measures are required due to declining competitiveness.


SBC is promoting projects such as the 'Regional Industry Growth Project' and the 'Regulatory Free Zone Project' to respond to the crisis of local extinction caused by accelerated concentration in the metropolitan area and investment imbalance between regions.


In particular, SBC plans to strengthen win-win cooperation among companies within the region by newly launching the 'Win-Win Growth Network Loan' project this year. The Win-Win Growth Network Loan builds a supply chain between regional anchor companies and cooperating SMEs, and supports financing from the production stage for SMEs receiving orders recommended by regional ordering companies.



Chairman Kang emphasized, "Through the Win-Win Growth Network Loan, we will alleviate the management burden of regional cooperative companies that find it difficult to raise private funds and strive to improve the productivity of small and medium ventures." He added, "SBC will play a pivotal role in enhancing regional balanced development and revitalizing the national economy by securing the competitiveness of agricultural industrial complexes. Starting with this meeting, we will visit agricultural industrial complexes nationwide to plan customized support projects through field surveys and opinion collection and work to secure budgets."
