The cultivation area of Jeju carrots for the 2026~2027 crop year is expected to maintain last year's level.

The Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Agricultural Technology Institute predicted that the cultivation area for carrots for the 2026-2027 crop year would remain at or slightly increase from last year's level (1,850 hectares), based on on-site monitoring results. This assessment differs from the Korea Rural Economic Institute's forecast of a decrease, as the Agricultural Technology Institute comprehensively analyzed local cultivation intentions and sowing trends. As of July 30, a survey of the main carrot-producing areas revealed that some farmers who previously cultivated other crops such as onions and green onions intended to switch to carrots, but it was analyzed that this would not significantly change the overall cultivation area. Sowing operations began around July 20, about five days later than usual, and as of July 31, within the province.
