[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Go Dal-young] The Jinangun Branch (Branch Manager Kim Seong-hoon) visited the watermelon farm in Sangpyeong Village, Jinaneup, which is experiencing difficulties in securing labor, on the 12th to assist with farm work.

About 20 executives and employees from the Jeonbuk Nonghyup Food Support Center, Jinangun Branch, and five agricultural and livestock cooperatives in Jinan (Jinan Nonghyup, Baegun Nonghyup, Bugwi Nonghyup, Jeonbuk Ginseng Nonghyup, Mujinjang Livestock Cooperative) participated in the volunteer activity, working hard on tasks such as removing watermelon shoots.

This labor assistance was organized to support farms facing labor shortages due to prolonged COVID-19 impacts and difficulties in securing rural workforce during the peak farming season.

The farmer expressed gratitude, saying, "We are very thankful and greatly helped by the Nonghyup employees who showed interest in the dual hardships faced by rural areas due to COVID-19 and actively participated in helping with farm work."

Branch Manager Kim Seong-hoon said, "I hope this has been a small help to farms struggling to secure rural labor due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation," and added, "We will continue to actively carry out rural labor assistance to support farms facing labor shortages."

Employees of the Jinangun agricultural and livestock cooperatives have been continuously promoting rural labor assistance for farms struggling to secure rural labor due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation since April.
