[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Haeyoung] NH Nonghyup Bank announced on the 8th that it is conducting a company-wide rural labor support relay by headquarters divisions and regional sales headquarters to assist farms struggling with labor shortages as the full-scale farming season begins.

Jang Seunghyun, Senior Vice President of Nonghyup Bank, along with about 30 employees, visited a horticultural farm in Majang-myeon, Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do the previous day to participate in the rural labor support relay by planting seeds, pruning flowers, and collecting discarded farming materials.

Senior Vice President Jang said, "This year, all industries are facing difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, but rural areas are especially suffering from labor shortages caused by aging populations and the absence of foreign workers, making the farming season particularly challenging. Nonghyup Bank will continue to carry out company-wide labor support efforts for agriculture and rural areas, which are the life reservoirs of the 50 million people."

Meanwhile, employees of Nonghyup Bank’s Management Planning Division donated 100 bags of Nonghyup rice to underprivileged groups within Icheon while assisting with labor support.
