[Asia Economy Reporter Sim Nayoung] On the 19th, Kim Chun-an, Vice President of NH Nonghyup Bank's Agriculture and Green Finance Division, visited the Dongcheonan Nonghyup 'Smart Agriculture Support Center' located in Cheonan, Chungnam, and held an on-site meeting to promote the introduction of smart farms and improve financial support systems, the bank announced on the 20th.

The 'Smart Agriculture Support Center' is a smart farm experience and education facility jointly established by the Nonghyup Central Association and local Nonghyup branches to spread smart farming among small-scale farmers and young farmers. It was first installed at Dongcheonan Nonghyup in January of this year.

To promote the introduction of smart farms, Nonghyup Bank provides free consulting to support center trainees, including know-how on business plan establishment and operation methods, as well as introductions to leading smart farm farmers.

The trainees who attended the meeting said, "Through smart farming experience and education, our understanding of smart agriculture overall has increased, and we have been able to learn key points for transitioning to smart farms, which is very helpful. We hope there will be more customized consulting support for farmers in the future."

Vice President Kim Chun-an said, "To facilitate the transition to smart farming, we will actively support not only specialized consulting such as crop selection and transfer of farming know-how but also provide systematic financial and consulting services from basic farming to stable farming periods for prospective farmers."

Agricultural financial consulting is available free of charge to farmers at any Nonghyup Bank or local agricultural and livestock cooperatives nationwide.
