Gwangjin Inc., an Andong-located farming company, has been designated as the winner of Kyrgyzstan’s 5 billion won Official Development Assistance (ODA) smart farm project.
Gwangjin has implemented K-farm projects, such as greenhouse projects, since 1999 when the company entered the Central Asian country, but the company has failed to make headway.
Gwangjin was finalized as the winner of a bid for the ODA overseas project.
The company will be responsible for the implementing of farming environment condition projects in cooperation with the agriculture ministry of Kyrgyzstan Republic for the next three years and six months.
Gwangjin will implement a project to transfer homegrown yield production technologies by sowing five vegetables, including onions, at an 8.2 ha area of Kyrgyzstan Agriculture University.
The project calls for transferring homegrown yield production technologies by sowing five vegetables, including onions, at an 8.2 ha area of Kyrgyzstan Agriculture University and building seed selection facilities, low temperature storehouses and offices.
Gwangjin will be charged with applying Korea’s excellent K-farm technologies to the greenhouse facilities and implementing projects to build low-temperature storehouse and seed selection facilities.
The coverage of the project will include all equipment for processing, selection and packaging, and all Korean-made components and equipment, such as forklifts, planters, computers and passenger cars.
Gwangjin will invite Kyrgyzstani officials and farmers to make an observation tour of diverse K-farm facilities and learn theories and on-the-job training.
Gwangjin President Lee Dong-si said, “We will expect the project to implement diverse ODA projects targeting Mongolia, the Philippines and Laos, and Gwangjin will be reborn into Gyeongssangbuk-do’s representative leader in the agriculture sector by spreading and exporting Korea’s K-farm technologies globally.”

KRC to Build AI-Based Flooding Forecasting and Warning System
Korea Rural Community Corp. (KRC) said on Aug. 29 the corporation plans to build an AI-based reservoir flooding forecasting and warning system to prevent damage, caused by flooring of farming reservoirs and ensure the safety of residents in down-stream areas.
KRC plans to ramp up responses against disasters by forecasting and issuing early warnings against unusual climate conditions, such as recent downpours.
The project calls for predicting the amounts of flooding and reservoir levels and realizing real-time disaster broadcasting, then transmitting letters by allowing AI to learn weather big data, such as Korea Meteorological Authority’s rainfall information, as well as materials measured by disaster prevent measurement instruments, such as reserve water level meters and rain gauges.
