Daegu Urban Development Corporation Assists with Apple Harvest in Gilan-myeon, Andong... Donates 15 Million Won Worth of Rice and Apples

Daegu Urban Development Corporation (Acting President Jeong Myungseop) announced that on November 14, it conducted a volunteer activity to help apple farms in Gilan-myeon, Andong City, aiming to alleviate labor shortages during the harvest season and promote mutual growth with the local community.

Since signing a sisterhood agreement with Gilan-myeon in Andong City and Bugye-myeon in Gunwi County in 2023, Daegu Urban Development Corporation has consistently supported local farms by providing volunteer labor and purchasing and donating local specialties to promote urban-rural cooperation and revitalize the rural economy.

Employees of Daegu Urban Development Corporation are volunteering to help with apple harvesting at a farm in Gilan-myeon, Andong City.

This volunteer activity involved 16 participants, including members of the Cheongaram Volunteer Group and officials from the Gilan-myeon Administrative Welfare Center, who assisted with apple harvesting and sorting, helping to reduce the workload for local farmers.

Additionally, by the end of this month, the corporation plans to purchase agricultural products produced in its sisterhood regions and donate them to 13 social welfare facilities in Daegu and the sisterhood areas. The donations will include 150 boxes of apples (5kg each) and 170 bags of rice (10kg each), valued at 15 million won, contributing to the expansion of sales channels for local agricultural products and the improvement of welfare for vulnerable groups.

Acting President Jeong Myungseop stated, "It is meaningful to share in the difficulties faced by farmers during the harvest season," and added, "We will continue to strengthen exchanges with our sisterhood regions and practice ESG management that promotes urban-rural coexistence."
