In addition to persimmon harvesting, as part of the Nonghyup-wide ESG activities, a plogging campaign for environmental cleanup around Yongjeon Village and a campaign to collect agricultural waste such as rural plastic waste and farming waste materials were simultaneously conducted.

An official from the Office of Education said, “Following the spring season, it was a meaningful time to reflect on the spirit of coexistence among local related organizations by participating in the autumn rural labor support together with Gyeongnam Nonghyup executives and employees. Going forward, our Office of Education will actively fulfill its role as public officials to raise nationwide awareness and participation in rural labor support.”

Kim Ju-yang, the head of the headquarters, said, “I feel very honored to participate in rural labor support with the employees of the Gyeongnam Office of Education. We will do our best to realize the 100-year Nonghyup that works together with farmers by actively participating in Nonghyup-wide labor support to alleviate labor shortages during the harvest season.”
