Tridge summary

A study by the Climate Change Response Agricultural Research Institute highlights the need for the orchard sector to adapt to climate change in Korea. The research, led by Director Jeon Ji-hye, outlines the impact of climate change on cultivation areas and productivity of major fruits such as apples, pears, and tangerines. It predicts a shift in suitable cultivation areas due to climate change, with the subtropical climate zone expected to expand from 10.3% to 56% by 2050. The study emphasizes the necessity for predicting changes in cultivation areas, expanding early warning services for meteorological disasters, developing new cultivation techniques and varieties, and increasing the application of crop disaster insurance. The Rural Development Administration is already researching and distributing temperate and subtropical fruit varieties that can better respond to changing climatic conditions.

In order to respond to climate change, such as the continued rise in temperature on the Korean Peninsula, the orchard sector should seek to predict changes in the cultivation areas of major orchards based on climate change scenarios, expand early warning services for meteorological disasters, develop new cultivation techniques and varieties, and expand the application of crop disaster insurance. Expansion of apple cultivation area in Gangwon-do Instead of citrus cultivation in Jeju-do Increase in southern coastal areas and some parts of Jeonbuk-do This is the content of a study titled ‘Changes in the domestic orchard industry due to climate change and mid- to long-term tasks’ recently announced by Jeon Ji-hye, director of the Climate Change Response Agricultural Research Institute at the National Institute of Horticultural & Herbal Science, Rural Development Administration.
