Korea Rural Community Corporation Jeonbuk Supports Recovery Efforts for Flood-Damaged Farms

Participation of Around 100 Employees from Five Departments

The Jeonbuk Regional Headquarters of the Korea Rural Community Corporation mobilized around 100 employees from five departments on July 24 to assist with recovery efforts at a strawberry farm that suffered significant damage due to heavy rainfall.

The affected farm, located in Sinpyeong-ri, Songdong-myeon, Namwon-si, consists of a strawberry vinyl greenhouse covering approximately 1,200 pyeong. During the monsoon season, torrential rains caused the topsoil to be washed away and severely damaged the cultivation infrastructure.

Employees from the Jeonbuk Headquarters prepared equipment and supplies and, starting early in the morning, removed the flooded topsoil and organized the tangled facilities one by one, carrying out on-site support activities to help the farm return to normal as quickly as possible.

Kim Dongin, Head of the Jeonbuk Headquarters, stated, "The Jeonbuk Headquarters will not stop at simple disaster recovery but will continue to provide support for the stable development of local agriculture." He added, "We hope this emergency recovery support will offer practical assistance to the affected farm." He further commented, "We will continue to strive to be a reliable pillar that can respond quickly to rural sites anytime and anywhere."

Meanwhile, starting with this activity, the Jeonbuk Regional Headquarters plans to further strengthen customized recovery support and on-site collaborative efforts for farmers facing crises due to natural disasters.
