Jeonnam Province announced that from the 11th to the 24th, it will conduct a comprehensive regular inventory survey of government-managed rice stocks for the second half of the year, together with 22 cities and counties.

The inventory survey is a regular inspection conducted twice a year, in the first and second halves, to accurately determine the stock levels of government-managed rice and ensure safe storage management. This survey will check the storage and management conditions of government-managed rice. Aimed at ensuring inventory accuracy, the survey will target 918 rice warehouses in Jeonnam that are used for storage, processing, and transportation.

The survey team will consist of officials from the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service, private experts (grain managers), and city and county government officials.

In last year’s survey, Jeonnam Province identified four warehouses with concerns over grain quality and 14 with poor stacking, implementing corrective measures. In some warehouses, rice moths were detected, prompting immediate fumigation and strengthened pest control management.

This year, based on these cases, the province plans to conduct a more detailed inspection of warehouses suspected of illegal distribution, carry out both rice intake and release measures, and focus on strengthening pest prevention and facility management.

Park Sangmi, Director of Agricultural and Food Distribution at Jeonnam Province, stated, "Government-managed rice requires thorough inventory management and systematic inspections," adding, "Through this regular inventory survey, we will do our utmost to ensure the safe storage of rice and enhance trust in the management of government-managed rice stocks."
