Agricultural cooperatives plan to minimize the gap caused by interruptions in the supply and demand of foreign workers due to the early functioning of the working group on agriculture.
With the spread of a new coronavirus infection (Corona19), an emergency arose. The NACF has prepared a replacement workforce plan for foreign workers and has taken steps to prevent rural labor shortages.
Officially, a worker in South Korea can take just 10 days of rest, and an average Korean spends 2,357 hours at the workplace. At the same time, agriculture is considered the main industry.
According to the National Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives, 120-160 foreign workers enter the country every week. If you have no problems after undergoing a medical examination on the spot before leaving the country, you will come under careful immigration control.
The same goes for seasonal workers. The situation is complicated by the fact that the agricultural season begins in April and there may be a shortage of labor. This will lead to a shortage of workers in the already complex agricultural sector.
The NACF has already decided to develop measures to stabilize the demand and supply of foreign workers. The Agriculture Working Group is a permanent organization run by the Agricultural Cooperative Rural Employment Center, which constantly provides qualified agricultural personnel. It was created to provide timely professional personnel as a project of cooperation between the government and local authorities.
