Making better use of government data to support farmers: How livestock traceability data and agriculture outlook data can help farmers create value in Korea
Chair:Dina Umali-Deininger, Practice Manager, East Asia and Pacific region, Agriculture and FoodGlobal Practice, The World Bank
Speakers: Ms. Onyu Jeong, Assistant Manager, Strategic Planning Division / Internationalization project & ODA, Korea Institute for Animal Products Quality Evaluation (KAPE)
Dr. Hongseok Seo, Team Manager, Models Research Team, Department of Agricultural Outlook, Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI)
Discussant: Mariela Huelden Varas, Livestock Specialist, Agriculture and Food Global Practice, The World Bank
The public institutions in South Korea play a major role in developing and disseminating new AgTech, the importance of their data platform and analytics is growing. In line with the Digital Green New Deal plan (also known as the Korean New Deal), the South Korean government is now focusing on constructing an efficient data platform. In the agricultural sector, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA)’s public data portal is one of the most successful institutional innovation cases since it has combined different information platforms to increase the accessibility of open data for its stakeholders. It now reveals 1,051 open datasets regarding crop cultivation, agricultural technology, livestock management, pest information and agri—product distribution comprehensively collected from its 18 affiliated agencies. While MAFRA aggregates a variety of agricultural data for its use.
The webinar invites two agencies from MAFRA’s, Korea Institute for Animal Products Quality and Evaluation (KAPE) and Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI), integrated public data portal to learn how they collect and utilize agricultural data to foster Livestock Products Traceability System the and the Agricultural Predictability. Understanding the implementation of agricultural data collection of public institutions in South Korea will be a great learning chance for fellow countries learning know-how of how South Korea has fostered the data-driven agriculture ecosystem; what are the key innovation enablers and how they interact? And how the experience of Korea can be transferred to other countries?
Korea Institute for Animal Products Quality and Evaluation (KAPE) is well known for its animal-product traceability system. It has launched a wide variety of animal-products history tracking service from 2009 to increase food safety for consumers, effectively deal with tangible threats in the food value chain, and predict the supply and demand. Such a wide-range food tracking system is possible because KAPE has been cooperating with farms, local governments and other public agencies to collect animal-product data from all stages of the food value chain. KAPE has kicked off new initiatives to expand its data collection and utilization by providing distribution information via its online platform, e-Kapepia, which provides real-time price and supply/demand statistics for farmers, distributors and retailers.
Korea Rural Economic Institute (KREI) is an agricultural think tank in South Korea that works as an important innovation hub for developing the rural economy and agricultural industry. KREI is operating an agricultural observation centre, the Agricultural Outlook, which collects agri-product(crop) data from farm sites to build an agricultural forecast. The mid/long-term agricultural forecast helps farm-decision making for farmers, distributors and policymakers. It also contributes to supply/demand predictability and identifying the future food crisis. Agricultural predictability is important since it can help to shape the future blueprint of the agricultural industry.
