Mr. Koo In Mo, District Chief of Geochang, stated that in South Korea, the population is declining rapidly, leading to a shortage of labor, especially in the agricultural sector during the harvest season. Therefore, the cooperation in seasonal labor exchange is a significant support in addressing the shortage of seasonal agricultural labor in Geochang District. Currently, Geochang has developed the "Smart Farm" model. Through this cooperation, laborers from Thong Nhat district will receive support in professional and technical training in agriculture.
