The trade paper's CEO interview series sat down with JINONG CEO Park Heun-dong.
Park's central theme is openness: smart farm equipment from different vendors can only work together on an open-source platform.

Farm data pooling into something greater instead of scattering — that's the future of agriculture as JINONG sees it.
