Jeonnam Gokseong Nonghyup Selected as the Nation's No.1 Excellent Nonghyup in Agricultural Guidance Division Last Year

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seonsik] Jeonnam Gokseong Nonghyup (Chairman Ju Seongjae) announced on the 15th that it was selected as the No. 1 excellent Nonghyup nationwide in the 'Comprehensive Evaluation of Guidance Projects, Agricultural Guidance Division' last year.

Chairman Ju Seongjae expressed his thoughts, saying, "I feel a heavy responsibility for being selected as the No. 1 excellent Nonghyup nationwide in the honorable Agricultural Guidance Division." He added, "This is the result of strengthening the capabilities of the guidance project and making every effort to achieve a farm household income of 50 million won for cooperative members and sustainable agricultural development through increased farm income."

Chairman Ju explained the background of the award, saying, "Along with the farm stay program promoted for over 10 years, we achieved excellent results in all aspects, including practical welfare for cooperative members linked to agricultural income through one-on-one sisterhood ties, exchanges, and rural experience learning, as well as ripple effects to other regions, which led to this award."

He continued, "In the future, we will focus on farm stays, one-on-one sisterhood, and rural experience activities to solidly develop existing projects and discover new projects to further advance our position as a leading Nonghyup," showing strong determination.

He also stated, "Bongjo Farm Stay Village (Rural Experience School), which started in the early 2000s, has developed steadily despite many trials and errors, practically providing healing for urban residents and creating significant ripple effects in the surrounding area, resulting in a large increase in repeat visitors every year. Additionally, elementary, middle, and high school students are also attracted to the rural experience learning center, greatly increasing agricultural income."

Along with this, the one-on-one sisterhood ties with the Korea Asset Management Corporation have become even stronger, receiving much support not only for agricultural income but also for village welfare facilities.

Village residents treat each other like close siblings, frequently helping with rural labor, making kimchi together, and ordering agricultural products, further expanding mutually beneficial exchanges.

Moreover, support for multicultural families, visits and beauty services for the elderly, blanket washing services, senior colleges, and housewife colleges are continuously conducted, promoting rural area welfare together.

Due to this evaluation, the Gokseong Nonghyup office and one executive received a commendation from the Nonghyup Central Association president and a prize of 2 million won.

Chairman Ju said, "Following the 4th place nationwide excellence award in the guidance project in 2019 and the leading Nonghyup award in the women's welfare division of the guidance project, this No. 1 nationwide award in the agricultural guidance division is more meaningful than any other award, especially given the difficult conditions last year due to typhoons and floods."
