Gyeongnam Nonghyup and Muhak Hold Agricultural Machinery Mobile Repair Launch Ceremony

On the 29th, Gyeongnam Nonghyup and Muhak held a launch ceremony for the Gyeongnam Nonghyup Agricultural Machinery Mobile Repair Service at the Dongbu Nonghyup Agricultural Products Market in Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam, and carried out mobile repair volunteer activities for local farmers.

About 100 people attended the event, including Provincial Assemblyman Jang Jin-young, Muhak Chairman Choi Jae-ho, Gyeongnam Nonghyup Headquarters Director Cho Geun-soo, Deputy Director Kang Moon-kyu, Hapcheon Nonghyup Branch Manager Noh Soon-hyun, Hapcheon Dongbu Nonghyup Cooperative President Noh Tae-yoon, Hapcheon Agricultural Technology Center Director Kim Bae-sung, Yeongnam Material Distribution Center Director Cho Jung-hoon, and local cooperative members. The 2024 Gyeongnam Nonghyup Agricultural Machinery Mobile Repair Service launch ceremony and Muhak’s donation ceremony of 10 million KRW for agricultural machinery mobile repair parts costs were held.

The parts cost will be supported in five installments. This is expected to greatly contribute to reducing farming expenses for farmers who are struggling due to rising prices of agricultural materials.

The agricultural machinery mobile repair volunteer service involved about 50 volunteers, including technicians from the Gyeongnam NH Agricultural Machinery Mobile Maintenance Team, Nonghyup Yeongnam Material Distribution Center, Muhak, and A/S teams from agricultural machinery manufacturers, who provided free inspections and repairs for about 150 agricultural machines such as tractors, cultivators, and tillers.

On the same day, representatives from Mutual Finance, NH Life Insurance, and NH Nonghyup Property Insurance held a financial clinic for farmers, providing support activities including financial fraud response methods, mobile device usage, agricultural safety insurance, crop disaster insurance, agricultural machinery insurance, and financial service and fraud prevention mentoring.

Since signing a social contribution cooperation agreement in 2020, Gyeongnam Nonghyup and Muhak have been jointly and continuously conducting various social contribution activities such as supporting parts costs for agricultural machinery mobile repairs, helping with rural labor during farming seasons, providing side dish support volunteer services for vulnerable groups, supporting the Love Filial Table project, and improving the old residential environment of vulnerable farms.

Chairman Choi said, “Muhak is a 100-year company protecting Gyeongnam, and we will continue to carry out various social contribution activities together with Nonghyup to grow alongside the region.”

Director Cho said, “Muhak, a local company in Gyeongnam, has greatly helped reduce farming expenses by supporting parts costs. Gyeongnam Nonghyup will continue to carry out agricultural machinery mobile repair volunteer services, supply agricultural materials, and support financial services to proactively support farming, ensuring there are no difficulties due to labor shortages caused by aging.”
