[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] Jeonnam Gurye-gun (Governor Kim Sunho) announced on the 12th that it is recruiting trainees for a specialized agricultural training course on pruning persimmon trees, a local specialty crop, to produce high-quality persimmons.

The program will recruit 30 trainees residing in the area on a first-come, first-served basis until the 30th of this month, and the training will be conducted 12 times in total from next month until December.

This training course consists of lectures by experts on the concepts of persimmon pruning, pruning theories by tree shape and variety, and winter pruning field practice. It is expected to help resolve the shortage of pruning labor, create jobs during the off-season, improve fruit quality, and increase farmers' income.

In particular, the winter pruning field practice, timed to the persimmon cultivation season, will be conducted seven times and is expected to receive high participation and positive responses from trainees, as it offers practical content that can be immediately applied in agricultural fields beyond simple technical education.

Applications for the training can be submitted in person to the Human Resources Development Team at the Gurye-gun Agricultural Technology Center by the 30th, with the application documents provided in the announcement titled ‘Specialized Agricultural Training for Persimmon Pruning’ posted on the county office and Agricultural Technology Center websites.

Kim Sunho, Governor of Gurye-gun, said, “Fruit tree pruning is a cultivation technique directly linked to producing high-quality fruit and reducing production costs. Along with this training, we will continue to promote specialized technical education for our county’s major crops and introduce competitive varieties to enhance the competitiveness of our county’s agriculture.”
