Due to abnormal low temperatures during the flowering period, cold damage causing the withering of flower buds in fruit trees has occurred, affecting 1,145 farms and 750 hectares in Gyeongnam. The total damage is expected to increase further.

Director Kim said, “It is unfortunate that fruit farmers are facing difficulties from the start due to abnormal low temperatures,” and added, “Gyeongnam Nonghyup will do its best to support recovery and aid to minimize farmers’ losses.”

Gyeongnam Nonghyup plans to actively support farmers in overcoming damage by providing free nutrients and financial assistance according to the scale of damage to compensate for reduced production and decreased marketability caused by the cold damage.
