In particular, during the field training held at the farm of Lee Sang-min in Seongnae-ri, Danseong-myeon, Seong Jae-hee, Korea's top master of agricultural technology, was invited to demonstrate the stopping and pruning of Buyu and Taechu persimmon trees, resolving questions through a Q&A session, which received great responses.

One trainee said, "There were many things I was curious about on-site, but through this training, I was able to see and learn directly, which was very helpful."

An official from the Sancheong-gun Agricultural Technology Center stated, "Stopping and pruning seedlings in orchards are crucial parts directly linked to reducing production costs, stable production, and improving fruit quality," adding, "We hope this training will help persimmon farmers, who faced difficulties due to abnormal weather conditions this year, manage their orchards properly after harvest to produce high-quality fruit."

He continued, "We will continue to provide various training programs and spare no support for farmers."
