117 times Yeouido to avoid rice extinction... "All-out efforts to minimize losses to farmers"

The number of farmland damaged by the spread of rice extermination is 117 times that of Yeouido.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs said the area of farmland affected by rice extinction was 34,000 hectares, a significant increase from 26,000 hectares tallied as of the 22nd of last month.

Rice extermination is a pest that dries up by eating juice from rice stalks, and this year is a high-temperature phenomenon, and the damage has increased due to the spread of rice extermination.

In this regard, Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Minister Song Mi-ryeong said today that she will inspect the rice extermination sites in Imsil-gun, North Jeolla Province, and purchase all the damaged rice if farmers wish, preventing loss of farming and preventing the distribution of low-quality rice.
