◈ The cultivation area of rice in 2020 has been reduced to 726,000 ha by 4,000 ha (0.5%) compared to the last year.
◈ From the end of June to the early August, because of the effect of frequent heavy rain and Typhoon 'Barbie', some rice fields experienced damage of inundation, overhead flooding and lodging.
○ Local government and Nonghyup have jointly cooperated to implement early water drainage and put an active effort to minimize the damage such as the prevention of disease and insect pest
◈ We plan to establish a countermeasure for the stable supply before October 15 and manage the stable price of rice while meticulously examining the local situation and the trend of growing rice.
