GDP from agriculture, forestry and fishing South Korea 2011-2023

In 2023, the gross domestic product (GDP) from the agriculture, forestry, and fishing sector in South Korea amounted to approximately 32 trillion South Korean won, a slight decrease from the previous year. This sector’s contribution to the GDP peaked in 2014, recording in excess of 33.3 trillion South Korean won. Agriculture, forestry, and fishing in South KoreaThe population involved in agriculture and fishing has been shrinking steadily for years as the South Korean economy evolved into a manufacturing and technology industry that produces automobiles, semiconductors, and petroleum products, among other things. As of 2021, there were just over one million farming households in South Korea. Forestry and fishery families added another combined 147 thousand to this figure. The aging of the current agricultural population and the lack of popularity of the job among younger generations is directly impacting the industry. Around half of all farmers are more than 65 years old, the age of retirement in South Korea.Growth of smart farmingFor years, traditional agriculture, forestry, and fishery work was unpopular with younger generations. Young people generally preferred urban, office jobs with better pay and less physical work. In recent years, however, there has been a resurgence of youth interest in so-called 'smart' farming. This differs from traditional agriculture in the use of advanced technologies to support efficient remote management, automation, and mass agricultural production. The market size of smart farming was estimated to reach approximately 5.4 trillion won in 2020, a sharp increase from just five years before.

在2023年，韩国农业、林业及渔业领域的国内生产总值（GDP）约为32万亿韩元，较上一年略有下降。该行业对GDP的贡献在2014年达到顶峰，当年记录超过33.3万亿韩元。随着韩国经济逐渐转型为以制造业和科技产业为主，生产汽车、半导体及石油产品等，农业及渔业从业人员数量逐年减少。截至2021年，韩国仅有超过一百万户农家。林业及渔业家庭人数共计增加14.7万户。当前农业人口的老龄化以及该职业在年轻一代中的不受欢迎，对行业发展产生了直接影响。大约一半的农民年龄超过65岁，即韩国的退休年龄。智能农业的发展多年来，传统农业、林业及渔业工作在年轻一代中并不受欢迎。年轻人普遍更倾向于城市中的办公室工作，这些工作薪酬较高且体力劳动较少。然而，近年来，年轻人对所谓的“智能”农业的兴趣有所回升。这种农业与传统农业的区别在于，它利用先进技术支持高效的远程管理、自动化和大规模农业生产。据估计，智能农业的市场规模在2020年达到约5.4万亿韩元，相较于五年前有显著增长。
