[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Jeonnam Province visited agricultural facilities in Jangseong damaged by heavy snow on the 27th to assist with emergency restoration work.

Thirty-two employees from the Jeonnam Provincial Department of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food helped with emergency restoration, including the demolition of livestock facilities, to enable smooth future farming activities.

The farmers who received help with the restoration said, "We are very grateful that the provincial government officials actively helped as if it were their own work despite their busy schedules."

In the Jeonnam region, a heavy snow warning was issued for 21 cities and counties, including Mokpo City, for three days until the 24th. Jangseong recorded the highest snowfall at 36.1 cm, followed by Hwasun with 30.0 cm and Damyang with 25.9 cm, with heavy snow mainly in inland areas.

In particular, this snow contained a lot of moisture, making it heavy and causing significant damage to agricultural facilities.

As of the morning of the day, damage to agricultural facilities such as vinyl greenhouses and livestock facilities was tentatively estimated at 10.1 hectares.

Jeong Won-jin, head of the Food and Horticulture Division of Jeonnam Province, said, "I hope this volunteer work will be of some help to farmers struggling with farming difficulties," and added, "We will mobilize all administrative power of the province for prompt damage restoration and stabilization of farmers' livelihoods."
