[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Jangheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Jeong Jong-sun) announced on the 14th that it has promoted a campaign to purchase local agricultural products to revitalize the consumption of agricultural products, which has been depressed due to COVID-19.

Recently, due to sluggish consumption caused by COVID-19, the prices of horticultural products shipped in March have been continuously declining.

The prices of representative local crops such as strawberries, oyster mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes have dropped by 20 to 30% compared to the previous year.

In response, the staff of the Jangheung-gun Agricultural Technology Center carried out a 'Buy Agricultural Products Campaign' to share the pain of local farmers.

They agreed to alleviate the difficulties of farmers by purchasing strawberries, oyster mushrooms, and other products produced by local farmers.

A horticultural farmer cultivating strawberries said, "I am grateful that the Agricultural Technology Center staff took the lead in supporting local farms during these difficult times."
