After the coup d’etat, the Bak Jeonghui (Park Chung Hee) government was greatly interested in increasing agricultural production. This was not only to solve the urgent national issue of serious food shortages, but overcoming poverty was an important justification for the military coup itself. In the 1960s agricultural production gradually increased. This was largely due to the expanded distribution of fertilizer as new plants opened one after the other, the preparation of irrigation facilities and the consolidation of arable land. The increased production of this period can be seen as a result of putting in place a system of agricultural guidance and rationalizing inputs essential for production rather than something due to improved plant breeds. However, as the scale of the industrialized economy increased, rice gradually became scarce.
