In a statement, the National Korean Beef Association (Chairman Hong-Gil Kim) announced in a statement that it actively approves the amendment to the Kim Young-ran Act by Rep. Choi Hyeong-du (Masan Happo, Gyeongnam), the power of the people to remove the limit on gifts by excluding agricultural and livestock products.
Since the enactment of the Kim Young-ran Act, the National Korean Beef Association has strongly insisted on excluding agricultural and marine products from the subject of the law. President Moon Jae-in also made two direct promises to the revision of the Kim Young-ran Act at a meeting with the head of a farmers’ organization during the presidential election, saying,’Extraordinary measures are needed for agricultural and fishery products’.
Korean cattle farmers are highly concerned that, even at the time of the revision of the meal futures and congratulations and congratulations and condolence expenses in 2017, an increase of 100,000 won in futures would be reduced to the Imported Agricultural and Marine Products Promotion Act. I suggested over 200,000 won.
The National Korean Beef Association emphasized once again, “Unlike luxury goods, agricultural and livestock products are difficult to be subject to fraudulent solicitation transactions, so even if they are excluded from the application, there is no effect on the achievement of the purpose of the law to build an integrity society.”
Earlier, on the occasion of Chuseok in September 2020, the government made a temporary measure of the solicitation prohibition law for agricultural and livestock products to 200,000 won. According to the Korean Beef Association, no violations have occurred until now, but rather, it is highly regarded as the timely measures to stabilize the livelihood of the government that brought vitality to farmers and distribution industries in the agriculture and agriculture industry.
The National Korean Beef Association said, “We actively support the revised bill of the Kim Young-ran Act by Rep. Hyung-Doo Choi, in which our argument is fully contained, with the voices of 2 million farmers. We hope that this revised bill will be passed to prevent excessive contraction and damage to related industries. It was proved at the next Chuseok, and we urge you to exclude domestic agricultural and livestock products from the subject of the Kim Young-ran Act for the sake of national economic rehabilitation and vitality in rural areas due to Corona 19.”
