South Korea's Primary Industry as Seen Through the Norwegian Mackerel Industry

Surprisingly, South Korea is a global powerhouse in agriculture, fisheries, and livestock technology.
However, the reality is that we are lagging behind—relying on foreign laborers,
and except for some processing industries, we remain dependent on foreign workers.
Norway, on the other hand, is fully automated.
Fishing vessels even handle everything up to the processing factory in a one-stop process,
and auctions are conducted immediately online.
While the number of employees is small,
even the female workers earn over five million won a month.
We are still stuck in a 1900s-style fishing village structure,
relying on rural subsidies funded by taxes taken from urban workers' salaries—
astronomical support with no future in sight.
This is also a cause of the disappearance of local communities in Korea.
I sincerely hope that South Korea's next-generation food source—
the primary industry—becomes corporatized.
How much longer will we leave our future and our livelihood
in the hands of traditional markets and fishing village heads?
