Jangseong-gun Provides Repair and Maintenance Cost Support to Disaster-Affected Orchard Farmers

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 6th that it will support 27 fruit farms damaged by abnormal low temperatures during the spring blooming season and heavy rains in the summer.

The support includes costs for installing and repairing facilities to prevent cold damage such as hot air circulation fans and fine sprinkling devices, as well as drainage and irrigation facilities, support facilities, and protective nets for flooded orchard facilities.

The hot air circulation fan forcibly circulates hot air from a hot air system installed at the lower part of the support post to reduce damage from low temperatures or frost. The fine sprinkling device sprays water like mist within the orchard to raise the surrounding temperature.

The county secured a project budget of 230 million KRW, including supplementary budgets, to promote support for the quick recovery of fruit farmers suffering from agricultural disasters and proactive response to abnormal weather.

Yoo Doo-seok, Jangseong County Governor, said, "The pain of farmers due to COVID-19 and natural disasters is deep," and added, "We will continue to stabilize farm income and create a sustainable agricultural environment through various supports."
