Gimhae City has seen overwhelming interest in its AI video production training for local farmers, with applications exceeding the available slots by more than double.
The city is conducting a four-day digital skills enhancement program for farmers, titled 'Smartphone and AI-Based Promotional Video Production Course,' from August 18 to 21 at the Gimhae Agricultural Technology Center.
This training aims to equip farmers with the skills to conduct their own online marketing using smartphones and generative AI, addressing the challenges they face due to high outsourcing costs and a lack of expertise in self-promotion. The city noted that the demand reflects the needs of local farms.
Originally, the program was set to accommodate 40 participants, but the number of applicants confirmed the strong demand for digital marketing skills among farmers.
The 28-hour course is designed to be hands-on, allowing immediate application of skills learned. Key topics include analyzing successful YouTube case studies to identify trends, smartphone photography and videography techniques, content planning using generative AI, and video editing practice.
Choi Yoon-jeong, head of the Gimhae Agricultural Technology Support Division, stated, "In today's market, differentiated promotion and marketing are essential for selling agricultural products. We will support farmers in mastering smartphone and AI technologies to revitalize their operations and expand their online sales channels."
