Head Kim said, “I consider it meaningful to hold the farming support launch ceremony to mark the beginning of the year’s farming and to pray for a bountiful harvest,” adding, “We ask for the interest and participation of urban residents including local companies, organizations, and the general public to help resolve the shortage of rural labor.”
