[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] Lee Seong-hee, Chairman of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (NACF), visited Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon Province on the 4th to conduct on-site management.

According to NACF, Chairman Lee and about 30 executives and employees held a rural labor support event and a luncheon meeting with farmers instead of an official inauguration ceremony.

Chairman Lee delivered quarantine masks and hand sanitizers to prevent the novel coronavirus and stated, "From now on, I will not stop heading to frontline agricultural sites to find answers to the pressing problems in our rural areas."

He also emphasized, "All 120,000 NACF executives and employees must remember that NACF has no reason to exist without farmers, and we will work together to create healthy agriculture and rural communities. We will modernize the distribution structure of agricultural and livestock products, resolve long-standing issues of agricultural and livestock cooperatives, contribute to regional economic development, and in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, create new sources of income to lay the foundation for a 100-year enterprise."
