South Korea will gradually reduce the rice planting area to cope with the decline in demand. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs of South Korea said on Thursday that South Korea will strive to gradually reduce the rice field area to solve the problem of declining demand and adopt environmentally-friendly planting methods. Due to the change of diet structure, the annual rice consumption of Koreans has decreased, and the per capita rice consumption has dropped significantly from 61 kg in 2018 to 56.4 kg in 2023. At present, the total area of rice fields in South Korea is about 698,000 hectares, and the government says it plans to reduce the area of rice fields by 80,000 hectares next year. In addition, by 2029, the planting area of environmentally friendly rice will be expanded from 35,000 hectares this year to 68,000 hectares. The government will also allocate 244 billion won (about 170 million US dollars) to subsidize farms that grow strategic crops other than rice, such as wheat, beans and barley, which is an increase from 186.5 billion won this year.The Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 Index rose 1% to 4,029.91 points.

Earlier, South Korea's ruling National Power Party MP Kim Jae-sub announced on the 11th that he would vote in favor of the next presidential impeachment case, bringing the number of ruling party MPs in favor of impeaching President Yin Xiyue to five. South Korea's pan-opposition party has 192 seats in the National Assembly. If the impeachment motion is to be passed in the National Assembly, it needs to obtain at least two-thirds majority of the total 300 seats in the National Assembly, that is, 200 votes in favor. Therefore, the opposition party needs to win at least 8 ruling party members to vote in favor. (CCTV)
