Accordingly, Yeongdeok-gun will support equipment such as coloring bags, reflective films, and long-term preservatives to improve the quality of major fruits produced in the region, including apples, pears, peaches, and grapes. To respond to abnormal weather conditions, it will also provide heat damage mitigants, cold damage mitigants, and artificial pollination pollen.

In particular, to assist farmers who faced difficulties due to poor apple coloring last year, coloring agents will be provided. Additionally, support will be given for labor-saving equipment such as SS machines and high-altitude work vehicles, installation of cold storage facilities, and well development to establish a production foundation for fruit farming.

The application targets include 22 projects other than the coloring enhancement equipment support project, and applications can be submitted through the industrial teams of the nine eup and myeon offices by the 24th.

County Governor Kim Gwang-yeol stated, “We will continuously discover and support projects that are practically needed by farmers. We will strive to finalize the project beneficiaries early and complete the projects on time this year to help reduce production costs and produce high-quality fruits for fruit farmers.”
