Hwasun-gun Selected for the '2021 Eokkaedongmu Consulting Public Project'

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Hwasun County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 10th that three farms were selected for the Jeollanam-do-led public contest project, the ‘2021 Shoulder-to-Shoulder Consulting Farm Management Improvement Project.’

Shoulder-to-Shoulder Consulting is a comprehensive consulting service involving farms cultivating the same crops and experts from various fields.

It also compares management record book data written by each farm, analyzes the cost by item for each farm, identifies problems in cultivation, pest control, and environmental management, and seeks solutions.

This public contest project targeted excellent farms that are participating in Shoulder-to-Shoulder Consulting (strawberry, cherry tomato, apple, pear, kiwi) or have kept management record books for more than two years.

In the county, two farms participating in cherry tomato Shoulder-to-Shoulder Consulting and one farm participating in agricultural product income surveys applied and were selected.

Each proposed ideas: Anduseop farm in Neungju-myeon suggested ‘Cost reduction using agricultural heaters and carbon dioxide generators,’ Yang Iwon farm in Hancheon-myeon proposed ‘Installation of smart farm environmental control system,’ and Choi Pansul farm in Dongbok-myeon suggested ‘Operation of a blueberry experience farm.’

The three farms will each receive 15 million won in project funds next year.

An official from the Agricultural Technology Center said, “The project selection is expected to improve the productivity and added value of farms,” and added, “We hope that Shoulder-to-Shoulder Consulting will provide an opportunity for farms to improve management more accurately.”

Meanwhile, Jeollanam-do promotes an annual contest to distribute the ‘Crop-specific Management Record Book Showing Income,’ which is easy and convenient to use, and to foster management consulting and management improvement support models based on data.
