This facility completed the establishment of the smart farm this year through the Youth Startup Smart Farm Package Support Project, a public contest project by Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province, and is currently producing strawberries.


Meanwhile, County Governor Sim Min visited the strawberry smart farm site in Samgye-myeon the day before, toured the advanced cultivation facilities, and directly confirmed the impact and potential of advanced agricultural technology on local agriculture.


Governor Sim encouraged the strawberry producers, including the strawberry cooperative who were present at the site, and had a communication session with the facility-based farmers.


The young farmer operating the smart greenhouse in Samgye-myeon returned to farming in 2020, gained experience at the Imsil-gun Youth Startup Farmer Management Practice Farm, and is now cultivating strawberries in the smart greenhouse.


This young farmer has been recognized as an outstanding member of the 2024 Imsil Strawberry Cooperative and is regarded as an excellent example of local settlement.



Governor Sim Min said, “Smart farms are an important factor in opening the future of agriculture, and the strawberry smart farm is expected to provide new opportunities to local farmers and greatly help realize sustainable agriculture,” adding, “We will continue to spare no support for the transition of local agriculture to smart agriculture.”
