[Reporter Lee Jang-hee, Korea Farmers and Fishermen Newspaper] Pocheon City in Gyeonggi Province has been finally selected as a target municipality for the 'Seasonal Foreign Worker Employment Model Project for Agricultural Tasks' promoted by the Ministry of Justice. According to recent information from Pocheon City, this pilot project moves away from the traditional method of directly employing foreign workers by farms, and instead involves designated local institutions (entities) hiring foreign workers and performing agricultural tasks contracted from farms. This new labor model allows farms to reduce the burden of hiring and managing personnel, while workers can work in a more systematic and stable work environment. The city has designated the Pocheon Agricultural Foundation as the implementing agency, and the project will be fully implemented starting from March 2026.
