Yeonggwang-gun to Recruit 'Small Giant Farmers Agricultural Business Entities' Until the 11th of Next Month

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 13th that it is recruiting the 2022 ‘Gangsonong’ until the 11th of next month to strengthen the self-reliance capacity of agricultural management entities.

‘Gangsonong’ refers to agricultural management entities that practice management improvement through creative ideas and cooperation among management entities to overcome the limitations of small-scale agriculture.

To this end, the Agricultural Technology Center has been supporting education, management consulting, and autonomous small group activities every year since 2011 to help small farmers overcome their limitations for 11 years.

In particular, last year, 18 new Gangsonong members were selected and received step-by-step education including basic education, advanced education, and follow-up education.

For existing Gangsonong members, branding capability enhancement education was provided, resulting in the development of 10 distinctive brands for each management entity, among which 9 have completed patent applications.

Two autonomous groups with development potential among the Gangsonong autonomous groups were selected and provided with customized education.

This year, about 10 new members will be recruited. Agricultural management entities wishing to participate must visit the Agricultural Technology Center and submit an application form by the 11th of next month, and must complete the basic education conducted during the next month to be finally selected as a Gangsonong management entity.

An official from the county said, “We will make practical contributions to farm income through differentiated farm management improvement education by stages,” and added, “We hope that many young farmers passionate about agriculture will participate as Gangsonong members and become a driving force to enhance the county’s agricultural competitiveness.”
