Agricultural Day is a day to reflect on the importance of agriculture and the hard work of farmers. It is observed on November 11 because the Chinese characters for ten (十) and one (一) can be combined to form the character for soil (土).



Mayor Park said, "Agriculture is an important foundation of the local economy, responsible for providing food for residents. I thank all the farmers who have protected agriculture and rural communities despite difficult conditions."
