A booklet published for rural guidance officers in Miryang-si, Gyeongnam.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 16th, Miryang City in Gyeongnam announced that it is fostering smart agriculture experts for sustainable agricultural management.

The city conducted specialized courses and held in-house seminars to improve the technical guidance expertise of rural guidance officers.

The seminars have been held since July this year to overcome the lack of expertise caused by rapid generational changes among guidance officers, frequent job transfers, and the limitations of limited personnel.

Rural guidance officers select topics by crop type and give presentations, and the materials will be published as booklets for continuous use.

In addition, rural guidance officers share work materials related to major agricultural facilities such as soil testing labs, agricultural product processing facilities, pest and disease diagnosis labs, and agricultural product safety analysis labs to develop practical job skills and respond to the rapidly changing agricultural environment.

Ha Yang-sang, director of the Agricultural Technology Center, said, “Since Miryang cultivates a variety of crops, the demands for solving agricultural field problems are also diverse. We will lead smart 6th industry agriculture by strengthening on-site technical guidance through the recruitment and capacity development of guidance technical personnel.”
