OECD Published Innovation Report Containing Future Direction of Korean Agriculture



The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI) on Dec. 5 published Innovation, Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability in Korea, a report which analyzed the effects of various agriculture-related policies on the agri-food sector and presented policy recommendations. The two institutions conducted joint research from February 2017, and in the report presented recommendations drawn from the research.


In commemoration of the publication of the report, the Korean Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and KREI held an international seminar jointly with the OECD at the Lotte Hotel, Sogong-dong, Seoul on Dec. 5. In the seminar, experts at home and abroad commemorated the publication of the report, and discussed policy tasks for agricultural innovation aimed for sustainable agriculture and rural communities.


Frank van Tongeren in charge of the report, head of the Policies in Trade and Agriculture Division at the OECD, stressed, “For Korea to realize its full potential in the agricultural sector, it is necessary to develop its agricultural innovation system in a more integrated and cooperative way based on its competitive advantage in the ICT sector.”


KREI President Kim Changgil mentioned the need for in-depth discussion on the OECD’s policy recommendations from a long-term perspective. He said, “The diverse policy recommendations in this report show that Korean agriculture and agricultural policy can be sustainable only through innovation.”
