Gochang-gun Supports All Elementary, Middle, and High School Students in the Area with Agricultural Produce Packages

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk announced on the 4th that it will promote the ‘Eco-friendly Agricultural Products Package Support Project’ to support agricultural producers affected by the suspension of school meals and to improve students’ health and reduce the burden on parents.

The county plans to provide eco-friendly agricultural product 7-item sets to the homes of about 5,200 students from 41 elementary, middle, and high schools in the area.

Earlier, on the 22nd of last month, the county held a meeting on eco-friendly agricultural product meals with schools at all levels, the Gochang Office of Education, and the meal center, where the 7-item package was decided. The related costs will be supported by the unspent meal budget.

The main items are eco-friendly agricultural products produced in Gochang, including rice, seoritae beans, red pepper powder, new potatoes, onions, green onions, and shiitake mushrooms, providing a package worth about 30,000 won per student.

In particular, quality will be inspected at the agricultural product package production site to ensure that fresh and high-quality ingredients are provided.

Yoo Gi-sang, the mayor of Gochang-gun, said, “I hope that the support for agricultural product packages will help improve students’ health, reduce the burden on parents, and support farmers and distributors affected. Gochang-gun will mobilize all administrative power to overcome COVID-19 and do its best to help residents return to their daily lives as soon as possible.”
