Hampyeong-gun Selected for Ministry of Agriculture Smart Farm Greenhouse Construction Contest

New Construction of Smart Farm Greenhouse Applying ICT Convergence Technology

On the 22nd, Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it has been finally selected for the Smart Farm Greenhouse Construction Contest Project led by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, securing a project budget of 2.2 billion KRW (including loans).

The Smart Farm Greenhouse Construction Contest Project is a program aimed at improving the productivity and quality of vegetables and flowers, as well as expanding exports of fresh agricultural products.

In the county, farmer Park Ji-won from Eomda-myeon was selected as the final recipient and will proceed with the project, planning to cultivate color cherry tomatoes (0.9ha) using smart farm technology.

Earlier, in December last year, the county promoted a business consignment contract for the smart farm greenhouse construction project with the Korea Rural Community Corporation Hampyeong branch, and after a design feasibility review by the corporation, the greenhouse is scheduled to be completed within the year.

Through this project, the county expects to establish a stable year-round production base by building ▲a state-of-the-art smart farm vinyl greenhouse ▲an automated circulating hydroponic (nutrient solution) cultivation system ▲an ICT-based smart environmental control system.

In particular, by constructing a greenhouse applying ICT convergence technology, it plans to optimize growth management from inside and outside the facility to the rhizosphere environment of crops, thereby reducing labor and improving quality and income.

County Governor Lee Sang-ik said, “We plan to actively support farmers who wish to apply for the smart farm greenhouse construction project,” adding, “We will realize future agriculture through smart farms applying ICT convergence technology.”
