Agricultural experts in Korea are successfully growing rice for the first time in the UAE, a desert country, and the harvest is ahead.
It is a news sensation that will appear on topics abroad.
However, it is said to cost more water than rice because it requires too much water.
This is a report from Oh Joon-gon.
[기자]United Arab Emirates, where most of the country is made up of desert.
Here rice fields are being made for rice cultivation.
Unearthing about 40 cm of double-layer, non-woven fabric from the ground.
After installing the soil moisture retention system, irrigation facilities were also installed.
Then, in late November of last year, rice was planted.
It is a cultivar called “ Asemi ”, which is known to resist hot weather.
Since no one has grown rice locally, rice was managed in real time in Korea.

Now I am in the Rural Development Administration office watching this remote video and managing the field.
As you can see, the rice is ripe now, so you can see birds like sparrows running around the rice.
Harvesting is expected to take place in a few days, and yield is forecast to be 40% higher than in Korea.

The amount of rice produced per hectare was 583 million, but the price of water was 20 million won.
In a word, the navel became larger than the belly, but it was still a task to be solved in the future.

Whether you finish an issue overseas once or succeed in food production through repeat trial cultivation, we must keep an eye on the next five years.
