"Helping Farm Labor" ... Namhae-gun Promotes Assistance for Farm Labor During Busy Farming Season

Namhae-gun, Gyeongnam Province, has launched a labor assistance campaign to support farms struggling with labor shortages during the autumn harvest season.

Namhae-gun is promoting labor assistance during the busy farming season.

The labor assistance will be carried out from October 16 to November 24, prioritizing support for farms facing labor shortages such as elderly farmers, women farmers, and single-person households.

The rural labor assistance program is conducted annually during the planting and harvesting seasons to address manpower supply issues caused by the aging rural population, targeting elderly farmers and farms affected by agricultural disasters.

On the 7th, 15 staff members from the Agricultural Technology Division visited a kiwi fruit harvesting farm in Samdong-myeon, which was having difficulty with timely harvesting, to provide rural labor assistance.

Jung Kwang-su, head of the Agricultural Technology Division, stated, “Rural labor assistance is like a timely rain for farms struggling with labor shortages,” and added, “We urge related organizations and groups to actively participate as well.”

Meanwhile, Namhae-gun is operating a ‘Rural Labor Assistance Contact Center’ until the end of November to connect farms seeking labor assistance with departments or institutions willing to participate in rural labor support.

Farms or organizations wishing to apply can contact the Agricultural Technology Division at the Namhae-gun Agricultural Technology Center or the Eup/Myeon Administrative Welfare Center.
