Employees of the Forest Resources Division of Gyeongbuk Province are assisting with weeding work in Dansan-myeon, Yeongju.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] On the 30th, employees of the Forest Resources Division at the Gyeongbuk Provincial Office visited a mountain vegetable farming household in Dansan, Yeongju, which was struggling with a shortage of labor during the busy farming season, to assist with weeding work.

This labor assistance was planned to help the farming household facing difficulties in securing workers due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the hot weather, it was a meaningful time to understand the hardships of farming and the challenges faced by the household, while serving the local community.

After receiving useful information from the farming household about mountain vegetable cultivation methods, benefits, distribution, and sales, and explanations about the work procedures, all employees worked hard to contribute even a little to the forestry workers.

Forestry worker Mr. L expressed his gratitude, saying, “I was very worried about the labor shortage, but the forest department employees came and helped as if it were their own work, which was a great help.”

Baek Giheon, head of the Forest Resources Division, said, “It was an opportunity to visit the forestry site and share warmth between forestry workers and employees,” adding, “We will continue to actively participate in labor assistance to share the difficulties of farming households.”
