Discussions on Spreading AI and Robotics Technology in Food Manufacturing… Gyeongbuk's Soybean Industry Also in Focus
Published
Standardization discussions are underway to further expand the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics technology in food manufacturing sites. Standardization refers to setting criteria so that multiple companies and factories can use the technology on the same basis. Once such standards are established, companies are expected to be able to adopt new technologies more easily.
In the agricultural sector, the soybean industry of Gyeongsangbuk-do drew attention. Gyeongbuk is the second-largest soybean-producing region in the country. The soybean cultivation area in Gyeongbuk in 2025 was recorded at 11,009 hectares (ha).
In addition, the Gyeongbuk Agricultural Research and Extension Services has been addressing matters related to soybean varieties, and varieties such as 'Saebaram', 'Bitnadu', and 'Chamduri' were mentioned. Because soybeans are widely used as a food ingredient, production technology and variety research play an important role for the industry as a whole.
This news is meaningful in that it shows how food manufacturing technology and regional agricultural products are each being used in the field. Attention is gathering on how both sectors will be applied in industrial sites going forward.
