On that day, Governor Kim Kyung-soo visited a garlic farm located in Burim-myeon, Uiryeong-gun, participated in the harvesting work, and listened to the difficulties faced by the farmers. Garlic harvesting requires significantly more manual labor compared to other farming tasks, making priority support for labor assistance necessary.
Governor Kim Kyung-soo of Gyeongnam Province stated, "Due to COVID-19, agricultural product consumption has decreased, causing many farms to struggle, and as the situation prolongs, there are difficulties in securing farming labor. We ask for the active participation of urban residents, including the province, volunteer organizations, and companies, in helping rural labor until the end of June, which is the peak farming season."
Gyeongnam Province has set the period from May to June as the rural labor assistance promotion period to address labor supply issues during the busy farming season and is conducting a province-wide rural labor assistance campaign.
