A badminton team and a women’s basketball team from Gimcheon City Hall in North Gyeongsang Province rolled up their arms to help the local onion farmer.
46 business teams, including the sports industry department in Gimcheon City and the badminton and women’s basketball teams belonging to the city hall, visited the onion farm in Gyoji, Jirye-myeon, to help with the onion harvest on the 8th.
This assistance for rural workers was carried out to help farmers who are having a hard time finding labor due to the delay in entry of foreign workers due to the prolonged Corona 19 and the aging of the rural population.
The farmer said, “These days, there are not enough workers and labor costs are rising, so I never thought of harvesting onions at the right time.
Kim Jong-hyeon, head of the sports industry department, said, “It is a busy and difficult time for everyone, but it was a precious time that could be of some help to local farmers who are experiencing double hardship due to lack of labor and rising labor costs. said
