In addition, Minister Song noted, "When farmland must be disposed of, we intend to vitalize the acquisition and lease functions of the Farmland Bank," adding, "A revision of the law has also been made so that the Farmland Bank is obligated to purchase farmland within the budget range, provided there are no restrictions on its function as farmland or the exercise of rights."
