[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Go Dallyoung] Jinan-gun announced on the 8th that it is receiving positive responses by implementing a pilot project to install Y-shaped support poles instead of the existing I-shaped support poles to enhance the competitiveness of chili peppers.

This pilot project focuses on comprehensive environmental management for producing high-quality chili peppers and reducing labor, covering an area of 2.5 hectares.

The existing cultivation method had issues such as poor ventilation and insufficient sunlight, but the Y-shaped support poles are evaluated to have improved these problems. Additionally, work efficiency has increased, resulting in favorable responses from the pilot project farmers.

Kim Pilhwan, Director of the Agricultural Technology Center, said, “We will guide the effective use of Y-shaped support poles and plan to expand and distribute the project area to 10 hectares in the future.” He added, “We will do our best to improve the cultivation environment, increase farmers' income, and provide feedback on the difficulties faced by chili pepper farmers to produce high-quality chili peppers.”
