Required fields KT&G (President Paik Bok-in) provided a leaf tobacco planting service in Jecheon, Chungcheongbuk-do to help leaf-tobacco farmers struggling due to manpower shortages in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. Employees of KT&G s Raw Materials Headquarters and Gimcheon Plant, who participated in the volunteer work, visited a leaf tobacco farm in Baegun-myeon, Jecheon-si, Chungcheongbuk-do, where they helped raise and plant seedlings in a farmland of about 10,000 square meters. Leaf tobacco is not grown by sowing seeds in a field, but rather seedlings are grown in a seedling facility and then planted, which is an important task that determines the fruitfulness of the year. KT&G has been conducting volunteer activities for 13 years since 2009 in order to provide labor to farmers struggling due to labor shortages and to pass on know-how in producing high-quality leaf tobacco.
