Hampyeong-gun Begins Full-Scale Shipment of Local Specialty Crop 'Hampyeong Chamssuk'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Hampyeong County, Jeollanam-do (County Governor Lee Sang-ik) announced on the 19th that 'Hampyeong Chamssuk,' one of the region's five specialized crops, will be shipped in full swing starting this month.

Hampyeong Chamssuk, cultivated on 3.4 hectares in the Hampyeong area, is shipped about half a month earlier than the usual mugwort harvest season due to the self-developed cultivation technology.

It is also known to contain large amounts of components such as vitamin A, cineole, and beta-carotene, giving it a distinctive aroma and excellent health functionality.

The county plans to maintain the currently well-received 150g unit small-package sales method while actively fostering the mugwort processing industry, such as mugwort rice cakes, targeting the rapidly increasing single-person households and well-being families.

A county official said, "Hampyeong Chamssuk is an eco-friendly agricultural product that undergoes strict management from production to packaging," and added, "We hope for much interest and consumption of Hampyeong Chamssuk, which tastes good and is beneficial to health."
