[Korean Farmers and Fishermen Newspaper, Reporter U Jeong-soo] There has been a call for the government to actively engage in the development and cultivation of new fruit varieties in response to climate change, as well as in the dissemination of cultivation techniques and support for distribution, including post-management related to new varieties. This is because, like the case of the Shine Muscat, if planting is done indiscriminately and distribution difficulties arise, it could lead to farmers being reluctant to cultivate new varieties. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT) held a 'Fruit Tree Climate Change Response Forum' last month on the 28th at the Daejeon Convention Center, with around 200 local government fruit item officials, producer group representatives, and fruit farmers in attendance.
