Candidate Shin Jeong-hoon Visits Baegwasu Orchards to Discuss 'Abnormal Low Temperature' Measures

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Shin Jeong-hoon, the Democratic Party candidate for the National Assembly representing Naju·Hwasun, Jeonnam, visited pear orchards located in Bonghwang and Geumcheon on the 6th to listen to cases of damage caused by abnormal low temperatures and discuss countermeasures.

Candidate Shin Jeong-hoon noted that the flowering period of pear orchards has advanced earlier than usual due to warm weather, resulting in damage from low temperatures and frost. To directly assess the current situation and warn about damage caused by abnormal low temperatures through proper management methods, he postponed his busy election campaign schedule and rushed to the damaged pear orchards.

If pear flowers are damaged, the stigma and ovary turn black, and in severe cases, flowers fail to bloom and die, or fruits become malformed and drop prematurely without bearing fruit. Even if fertilization occurs, poor growth can significantly reduce the commercial value.

Candidate Shin Jeong-hoon said, “I hope farmers pay close attention to weather information to minimize damage caused by abnormal weather. We will expand the agricultural insurance system, ensure prompt compensation for cold damage, and work closely with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to make sure the agricultural budget is properly used for farmers.”
