Hwasun-gun 'Rural Workforce Support Center' Operation

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) is operating a 'Rural Workforce Support Center' to address the shortage of agricultural labor caused by the decline and aging of the rural population.

According to the county on the 19th, the Rural Workforce Support Center plays a role in matching and mediating customized agricultural labor for farms in need of workers, solving labor shortages through professional and stable labor supply, and contributing to job creation through workforce recruitment.

The county plans to form separate farming work teams for crops with high labor demand such as peaches, strawberries, tomatoes, and blueberries, providing specialized training for agricultural workers to increase productivity and enhance farm satisfaction.

Any physically healthy person can participate as an agricultural worker, and not only local residents but also residents from nearby areas such as Gwangju can join. Workers receive transportation expenses and are covered by group accident insurance to prepare for accidents during farm work.

Farms in need of labor or those wishing to work in agriculture can contact the Hwasun-gun Rural Workforce Support Center.

A county official said, "We expect the Rural Workforce Support Center to be a great help to farms by solving labor shortages, improving productivity, and contributing to increased farm income," adding, "For agricultural workers, we plan to operate the center so that it leads to stable job creation rather than temporary or short-term jobs."
