President Lee Jae-myung and Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Song Mi-ling agreed on the need to expand domestic agricultural subsidies. The subsidy per farm in Korea is 5.19 million won, which is one-fifth of the EU's and half of Japan's, and the proportion of agricultural income is also low. President Lee Jae-myung emphasized the increase in agricultural subsidies, saying that agriculture is an important national security strategic industry and for food security. He argued that securing funds through market revitalization is possible, and support to minimize damage due to open trade is also important.
