[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Seo Chunsu, the mayor of Hamyang County, ordered the preparation of measures to resolve manpower supply issues caused by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) amid the onion harvest season at an executive meeting.

On the morning of the 24th, the county held an executive meeting chaired by Mayor Seo, where reports on important pending projects to be promoted by each department were presented, and cooperation from each department was secured to ensure smooth project implementation.

On this day, Mayor Seo said, “Although the onion harvest has officially begun, farmers are experiencing triple hardships due to difficulties in manpower supply and rising labor costs,” and urged, “Please prepare various measures to support stable farming operations during the busy farming season.”

The county plans to carry out a “County-wide Rural Labor Assistance Campaign,” involving public officials, related organizations, and private volunteer groups working together to secure labor for onion harvesting, rice planting, and fruit thinning, until the end of June.

He continued, “Achieving first place in the quantitative evaluation of the joint evaluation of major city and county tasks is a valuable accomplishment achieved through the concerted efforts of all employees, and I thank all the staff who worked hard together,” and added, “Please continue to discover and do your best to promote policies for the development of our county and the happiness of its residents.”

In addition, Mayor Seo requested thorough efforts in addressing current pending tasks such as improving integrity, rapid financial execution, securing national and provincial funds, increasing population, and preparing for the 2021 Hamyang Wild Ginseng Anti-Aging Expo.
