Muju-gun Eases Farmers' Labor Burden Through Agricultural Work Delegation

Securing a Budget of 857 Million Won for Agricultural Machinery Purchase

[Muju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hanho] Muju-gun announced on the 12th that the farm work agency service conducted during the farming season is receiving positive responses from farmers.

The farm work agency project is a service that performs farm work requiring the use of expensive agricultural machinery, such as house and field leveling work, and harvesting of forage crops and rice, on behalf of farmers.

Muju-gun has been promoting the farm work agency project since 2011 to alleviate the difficulties of farmers facing labor shortages in rural communities and poor working conditions.

In particular, Muju-gun secured a total budget of 857 million KRW (including provincial funds) this year for purchasing agricultural machinery for the farm work agency.

Last year, 439 farms used the farm work agency service, covering an area of 165 hectares, and the number has been steadily increasing every year.

The farm work agency service is available to any farmer who has farmland in Muju, even if they do not reside within the jurisdiction.

For more details about the farm work agency service, please contact the Agricultural Machinery Rental Office.
