[Korea Farmers' News Agency, Reporter Kim Kyung-wook] The need for facility improvements in the aging cooperative grain warehouses has been raised. There is a concern that the reduction in returns could eventually lead to damage for farmers. According to data submitted by the National Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives to Representative Jeong Hee-yong, a member of the National Assembly's Committee on Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, Food, and Marine Affairs from the People Power Party (Gyeongbuk Goryeong, Seongju, Chilgok), out of the 2,425 cooperative grain warehouses nationwide, 1,876 (77.4%) have been in operation for over 30 years. The cooperatives classify warehouses that have been in operation for over 30 years as aging warehouses, and the aging of grain warehouses is serious, raising concerns not only about fires and flooding, safety accidents, but also about the risk of raw grain deterioration.
