ICT Utilization Boosts Korean Paprika Production with Growing Domestic Consumption

Overview

Detailed analysis by the Agriculture & Livestock Industries Corporation of Korean paprika industry development through ICT technology adoption. Korean paprika production, which began in earnest in the late 1990s, has become world-class through implementation of smart agriculture technologies. The government actively promotes agricultural ICT adoption, with greenhouse cultivation featuring AI-powered environmental control systems monitoring temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, and solar radiation for year-round stable, high-quality production. Domestic consumption has expanded significantly alongside production increases, with growing incorporation of paprika in Korean cuisine and health-conscious consumer trends driving demand for colorful vegetables.
