Congratulations on the 44th anniversary of Nongsuchuksan Newspaper. We would like to express our gratitude to Nongsuchuksan Newspaper for providing timely, accurate, and in-depth analysis of the realities of the laying hen industry across various fields, thereby presenting a milestone for the industry. Currently, the laying hen industry faces numerous challenges, including the expansion of laying hen farming areas and upward adjustment of income tax exemptions. The implementation of expanded laying hen farming areas starting from September this year has many problems. Laying hen farms will face significant income reduction due to decreased number of chickens, high facility replacement costs, egg price increases, and inflation.
