[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Kim Young-rok, Governor of Jeollanam-do, explored ways to develop agriculture and rural areas and the role in revitalizing local communities.

According to Jeollanam-do on the 23rd, Governor Kim held a meeting with the Korea Life Improvement Jeollanam-do Federation and urged them to take the lead in agricultural development and the movement to cultivate the best villages.

The meeting was highly praised as a valuable opportunity to consider and find solutions to the difficulties women feel in rural areas and to think about rural community development.
