All employees under the county office and related organizations in the region plan to cooperate to provide agricultural labor support for farms requiring manual work such as apple thinning, plum harvesting, and bagging pears.

A Gokseong-gun official said, “We hope to be of some help to farms struggling to secure labor during the busy farming season due to the annual decrease in rural population and rapid aging. To minimize the difficulties faced by farms due to labor shortages, we will actively assist farms in cooperation not only with county office employees but also with related organizations and groups.”

Gokseong-gun currently operates two rural labor brokerage centers. These centers provide various services such as arranging agricultural labor and offering consultations.

The county supports farms by operating farming work teams to immediately secure labor when needed.
