[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Cheongung-myeon, Imsil-gun, conducted rural volunteer work with 15 staff members from the Cheongung-myeon Office, the County Planning Officer, and the Women and Youth Division.

This volunteer activity was carried out to assist a peach farm located in Cheongung-myeon, which is experiencing many difficulties due to labor shortages caused by rural population decline and aging, by helping with timely fruit thinning and supporting fruit growth.

Fruit farmer Choi Gi-young (69 years old) said, "Last year, we suffered significant losses because we could not thin the fruit in time due to labor shortages. This year, with the help of the staff, we expect to harvest high-quality fruit," expressing satisfaction.

Kang Taegu, head of Cheongung-myeon, said, "Although it is a small help, I am glad to support the farmers. We plan to continuously provide assistance by visiting farms with labor shortages."
