[Green] "Pick Meju with red beans"... Expansion of technology transfer for 'national patent'

[Anchor]
There is a national patent.

It refers to the patented technology owned by Korea.

In the agricultural sector, over a thousand technologies are transferred to the private sector every year, supporting the growth of farmers.

Reporter Choi Myung-shin reports.

Instead of beans, you use fermented soybean lump with red beans?

Here, where traditional pastes are made, they transfer the patent technology for making red bean red pepper paste developed by the Rural Development Administration and pick up fermented soybeans with red beans.

The content of amino acid, which has a savory taste, is four times higher than that of general red pepper paste and has 41% more antioxidant activity.

The fermentation period is also short, so one day is enough.

As it became popular as an ingredient for Korean food, its income more than tripled compared to when it was made.

A hornet's nest was reported to the crane link at the apartment construction site.

It is virtually impossible to remove it because firefighting personnel have been deployed.

At this time, the hornet repellent easily flies into the air, drills a hole in the hornet's nest, and sprays the control medicine inside.

The technology, which removes 99% of queen bees and larvae, is currently in the midst of private distribution work, and beekeeping farmers have high expectations.

The Korea Agricultural Technology Promotion Agency transfers such state-owned patent technology to more than 1,000 agricultural companies every year.

A survey of 58 companies that received technology transfers found that they achieved more than four times sales performance compared to subsidies.

This year, the Agricultural Research & Extension Service plans to continue to help farmers grow by investing 11.8 billion won in 56 national projects and holding a nationwide briefing session on "national patents."
