The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs said the area of farmland affected by rice extinction was 34,000 hectares, a significant increase from 26,000 hectares tallied as of the 22nd of last month.
Rice extermination is a pest that dries up by eating juice from rice stalks, and this year is a high-temperature phenomenon, and the damage has increased due to the spread of rice extermination.
In this regard, Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Minister Song Mi-ryeong said today that she will inspect the rice extermination sites in Imsil-gun, North Jeolla Province, and purchase all the damaged rice if farmers wish, preventing loss of farming and preventing the distribution of low-quality rice.
