[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Go Dallyoung] Jinan County announced on the 12th that it will supply 'agricultural product packages' to households with students in the area.

This measure is to address the decline in agricultural product sales due to the suspension of school meals amid the prolonged COVID-19 situation and to solve the meal problems of students staying at home.

The supply targets are households with 1,947 students enrolled in kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools within Jinan County, and the items consist of seven agricultural and specialty products produced in Jinan. The agricultural product package, composed of seven items including rice, seoritae beans, black rice, potatoes, and onions, is known to be worth about 32,000 KRW per package.

Jinan County finalized the package composition and delivery plan in cooperation with the Jeonbuk Provincial Jinan Office of Education and the Jinan County School Meal Support Center to supply the agricultural product packages to student households. The agricultural product packages are scheduled to be delivered to student households in the first round by the 15th, and additional supplies may be made depending on the COVID-19 situation.

Jeon Chunsung, the governor of Jinan County, said, "We hope that supplying these agricultural product packages will provide quality meals to students staying at home and also offer a small help to farmers struggling with sales channels for their agricultural products," adding, "We will continue to do our best for the healthy growth of students and the increase of farmers' income."
