  • The growth of food industry has not increased the demand for domestically produced agricultural products as raw materials. This is because the prices of domestic agricultural products are expensive relative to the imported ones and domestic products are hard to be supplied consistently. Thus the connection between domestic agriculture and food industry must begin with the investigation of appropriate items that have potentials to be used as raw materials for food industry. There have been many policies that support regional agriculture such as the policy that fosters regional cluster for agriculture. These policies can contribute to instigate the connection between agriculture and food industry. The infra prepared by the supporting policies and the facilities that food companies are operating can be used together for both agriculture and food industry. The complementary utilizations of the infra and facilities may encourage the connection between agriculture and food industry.

  • The insect industry in Korea has been supported by the Act of Fostering and Supporting Insect Industry since 2010. Based on the Act, insect breeders are entitled as farmers. However, the insect industry is not included in the Fundamental Act of Agriculture, Rural Community and Food Industry which defines all concepts, such as agriculture, farmers, and agricultural products. Legally and strictly speaking, there is no method to defense the insect industry when an argument is raised that insect industry is not included into agriculture, so persons who breed insects are not eligible for all agricultural supports and subsidies of the government. Thus, it is necessary to clear the legal status of insect industry by revising the related laws and regulations.

  • The market size of Korea's seafood industry is estimated to be about 62 trillion won ('19), of which the seafood processing industry is about 10 trillion won ('19), accounting for approximately 16% of the total market size. However, the current level of processing technology required for the development of seafood products is mainly simple primary processing, such as freezing and drying raw materials (in Jeollanam-do, which ranks first in the country in terms of seafood production, primary processors account for 86% of all seafood processors).In the future, trends in the development of processing technology for seafood will become more advanced in response to changes in domestic and international food consumption patterns. Blue food tech linked to ESG, convergence and digitalization linked to the 4th industry revolution will be further advanced in line with the national seafood industry policy direction. Through this, it is expected to establish itself as an axis of future technology management in the fisheries sector based on the large and small success stories of accumulated seafood R&D commercialization.
