Relaxation of entry location restrictions, introduction of expanded animal treatment fees, etc… being prepared as a future growth industry
The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs held the ‘5th Agricultural and Food Regulatory Innovation Strategy Meeting’ at the Sejong Government Complex on the 25th and selected 41 new regulatory improvement tasks.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is improving nine regulations to revitalize people’s livelihood and economy, in the areas of revitalizing people’s livelihood and economy, easing entry and location restrictions, strengthening support for new industries, strengthening support for youth, manpower, and employment, and resolving on-site difficulties.
The items traded in the agricultural online wholesale market have been expanded to include marine products, and among seller registration requirements, the previous year’s transaction volume performance requirement has been relaxed from the existing 5 billion won to 2 billion won.
In addition, small portion sales of cheese, which could only be supplied in fully packaged (sealed) form within instant sales manufacturing and processing businesses, are permitted only for aged cheese (curd), thereby reducing repackaging costs incurred by companies.
We plan to strengthen the transparency of medical expenses by expanding the number of items posted on veterinary hospital treatment costs from 11 to 20 types.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is also easing restrictions on entry and location. We plan to revitalize investment attraction in industrial complexes by removing the minimum sales area (33,000㎡) limit for the National Food Cluster Global Food Enterprise Zone, and respond to new rural tourism demand by relaxing the area size standards and allowing dinner for rural guesthouses in particular. .
It was decided to lower the threshold to allow various private investment companies, including start-up planners, to participate in the target scope of agricultural and food fund managers (currently venture investment companies, new technology business financiers, etc.).
In order to strengthen support for new industries in the agricultural and food sector, we plan to improve the way pet food manufacturers can move into the national food cluster and create synergy with related industries. We will also promote institutional reorganization to support new industries, such as expanding the scope of business so that agricultural corporations can produce smart agricultural equipment and provide consulting services.
In the field of strengthening youth, manpower, and employment support, the agricultural business registration period for the agricultural settlement support project is extended from the end of each year to the end of March of the following year. In particular, we plan to revise related business guidelines so that young companies can smoothly move into the smart farm demonstration complex and expand the scope of the restaurant business that can hire foreign workers.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs will also relax the facility standards for sweet feed manufacturing and the self-quality inspection cycle of feed containers and packaging from 3 months to 6 months. The number of cage levels in laying hen farms will be expanded from 9 to 12 levels, and the preventive culling range will also be improved to selectively culling all livestock species within 500m of the center of the farm, taking risk into account.
Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Song Mi-ryeong said, “In order to improve the vitality of agriculture and rural areas, many young and talented people with creative ideas will flow in, and the agricultural and food industry will be able to establish itself as a future growth industry.” “We plan to promote regulatory reform through collaboration between ministries,” he said.
