[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-ju] Seoul Songpa Nonghyup (Chairman Lee Han-jong) and the Seoul Agricultural Technology Center held the 'Seoul Flower Consumption Promotion Event' on the 28th to help flower farmers struggling due to the impact of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

This event, held for one month until the end of May at a total of seven branches including the Songpa Nonghyup headquarters, is expected to provide great support to the depressed flower farming industry.

Last month, Songpa Nonghyup also supported flower farmers by carrying out the 'Sell One Million Flowers' campaign, receiving positive responses by providing buyers with high-quality flowers.

Lee Han-jong, chairman of Songpa Nonghyup, said, "I am glad to be able to help flower farmers who are struggling due to the decline in flower consumption," and added, "We will always stand with farmers."
