Gyeongnam Nonghyup visited livestock farms in Samga-myeon, Hapcheon-gun, which suffered severe damage due to heavy rainfall, to provide manpower support for recovery efforts.
On July 26, more than 50 executives and employees participated in the volunteer work, including Ryu Gilnyeon, head of Gyeongnam Nonghyup, Lim Dogon, vice president of Nonghyup Life, Kang Mungyu, head of Changnyeong Training Center, Do Kimun, head of Hapcheon-gun branch, and Kim Jinseok, head of Hapcheon Saenambu Nonghyup. They worked on recovery efforts at a duck farm that was flooded, removing sediment and cleaning up the surrounding area.
From July 16 to July 19, Hapcheon-gun in Gyeongnam Province experienced record-breaking rainfall, with an average of 502mm and a maximum of 712mm. This led to river flooding, farmland inundation, and damage to agricultural facilities, resulting in a variety of damages.
Ryu Gilnyeon, head of Gyeongnam Nonghyup, said, "I visited the site to offer some support to farmers who are suffering due to the flood damage," and added, "We will continue to provide field-oriented support so that affected farmers can return to their daily lives as soon as possible."
Meanwhile, more than 200 people, including National Assembly members Yoon Jaeok (Daegu Dalseogu-eul) and Jeong Heeyong (Gyeongbuk Goryeong, Seongju, Chilgok), as well as local council members and party members, visited flood-damaged farms in Samga-myeon, Hapcheon-gun to assist with recovery activities.
