Fifteen employees from Cheonggi-myeon Office, the Construction Safety Division, and the General Civil Affairs Division visited a farm in Sari, Cheonggi-myeon, where farming was difficult due to hospitalization and surgery, to assist with chili pepper harvesting.

Starting early in the morning, they visited farms with labor shortages and, with a united spirit, actively helped with the work, successfully completing the chili pepper harvest.

On that day, Jin, a resident of Sari, Cheonggi-myeon, who received help with labor, expressed gratitude, saying, “Although it is the chili pepper harvest season, we were struggling a lot due to labor shortages and were worried about how to manage the harvest. The employees personally came out to assist with the chili pepper harvesting, which eased our difficulties.”

An Ok-seon, head of Cheonggi-myeon, said, “I am glad to be able to support local farmers facing labor shortages due to the decline and aging of rural manpower through this labor assistance,” and added, “If there are farms experiencing difficulties due to labor shortages or accidents, we will continue to provide labor support and share these challenges through communication with residents.”
