Hamyang-gun Establishes Agricultural Machinery Rental and Reservation System via Smartphone

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 20th that it has established a system that allows the rental and reservation of agricultural machinery through a smartphone app in line with the rapid spread of smartphones and the information age.

Until now, farmers who wanted to rent agricultural machinery could do so by directly accessing the website, visiting in person, or making phone calls. However, starting this year, a system has been established to enable easy reservation and cancellation using a smartphone application, aiming to enhance convenience for farming households.

The Hamyang-gun agricultural machinery rental project has been operating since 2010, starting in the central region and expanding to the northern, southern, and western regional offices, totaling four regional offices. This project reduces the burden on farmers caused by the high cost of purchasing agricultural machinery, contributes significantly to improving agricultural productivity, and revitalizes the rural economy.

An official from the Agricultural Technology Center stated, “Nowadays, even most elderly people use smartphones, reflecting the high smartphone penetration rate. In keeping with this information age, our agricultural machinery rental office has started providing services using an app so that farmers can rent agricultural machinery more easily. We will also focus on promoting this service so that more farmers can use it.”
