This visit was arranged to listen to the difficulties faced by farmers struggling with climate change and rising production costs, and to assess the on-site effectiveness of key subsidy projects such as income crop development support programs.


The farm visited on this occasion, operated by Park Hongrae, who serves as the president of the Facility Peach Research Association, is working with member farms and with county support to introduce unmanned pest control machines and circulating fans, striving to reduce labor and improve quality.


In addition, by carefully managing changes in temperature and humidity inside the greenhouse, they are minimizing cold damage during the flowering period. This has led to improved uniformity and sugar content of the fruit, resulting in increased market trust in the quality of shipped products.


Kwon Ikhyun, Governor of Buan County, stated, "In the field of facility horticulture, responding to climate change and introducing smart technology are critical factors for competitiveness," adding, "We will enhance the effectiveness of support projects by reflecting feedback from the field."



Meanwhile, Buan County is supporting the establishment of a smart agriculture foundation through projects such as the Facility Horticulture ICT Convergence Expansion Project and the High-Quality Fruit Facility Modernization Project, and plans to further strengthen customized support by actively incorporating farmers' feedback.
