[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, is promoting a project to strengthen the functions of the Agricultural Technology Center to effectively disseminate and educate scientific farming technologies.

On the 24th, Sancheong-gun announced that it will invest a total project cost of 7.5 billion KRW by the end of this year to build the 'Sancheong-gun Agricultural Technology Center Agricultural Education Science Hall.'

Since 2019, the county has spent two years creating demonstration fields for on-site education and preparing the site for the Agricultural Education Science Hall. This year, it is pushing forward with the full-scale construction of the science hall, scheduled for completion by the end of this year.

The Agricultural Education Science Hall will be a three-story building with a total floor area of 2,131㎡. The first floor will be equipped with a soil testing room, agricultural product safety analysis room, and pest and disease diagnosis room to produce high-quality and safe agricultural products.

With the establishment of testing, analysis, and diagnosis rooms, it will become easier to conduct region-specific soil testing and pesticide residue analysis of agricultural products, greatly contributing to the production of safe food that consumers can trust.

The county also plans to set up facilities optimized for online video education to promote the use of SNS and marketing education through smartphones and laptops.

Choi Kyung-sul, director of the Sancheong-gun Agricultural Technology Center, said, “Once the Agricultural Education Science Hall is built, we will be able to accumulate environmental data on the soil and crops of our Sancheong area, enabling customized farming guidance for each situation.” He added, “In preparation for the post-COVID-19 era, we also expect to activate online education by installing and operating non-face-to-face education video equipment.”

Meanwhile, Sancheong-gun has been enhancing the competitiveness of farmers and local agriculture by implementing various rural guidance projects last year.
