The topic was selected at the ‘Hope Agriculture’ seminar, which covers the direction of agricultural development and policy education in the Gyeongju area.

The Gyeongju Chapter of the Korea Agricultural Managers Association held the ‘22nd Gyeongju Hope Agriculture Seminar’ online on the 18th, with members and farmers participating.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the seminar was conducted online, with Mr. Jo Joo-hyun from the Direct Payment Management Division of the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service serving as the instructor.
