Suncheon City Achieves Top Results in Jeonnam Province for Beneficial Microorganism Development Industry

Produced 150 Tons in Q1 for Distribution to Farms and Public Use

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do announced on the 20th that the ‘Beneficial Microorganism Cultivation Project,’ which is being promoted to produce safe agricultural and livestock products and improve agricultural and livestock environments through eco-friendly management of the agricultural environment, is achieving the best results.

Since 2009, the Suncheon Agricultural Technology Center has introduced microorganisms, called the ‘small but beautiful treasures,’ into the agricultural sector for the first time nationwide. Over more than 10 years, Suncheon has implemented a long-term cultivation policy, resulting in the production of 150 tons in the first quarter of this year, supplying 140 tons to farms, achieving the best performance among the 22 cities and counties in Jeollanam-do. Of the production volume, 10 tons are supplied for public use, such as reducing odors at sewage facilities, greatly contributing to environmental improvement in daily life.

In particular, the ‘Regional Microorganism Delivery System,’ a special policy promoted by the city since 2016, has received great responses from farms by delivering directly to each farm during the COVID-19 situation.

The ‘Microorganism Delivery System’ is a system that delivers eight strains produced at the Suncheon Microorganism Center directly once a week by region, minimizing contact with visitors at the Microorganism Center.

A city official stated, “We will continue to make every effort to produce and supply beneficial microorganisms, and focus on fostering the microorganism industry tailored to the agricultural environment of Suncheon, a city combining urban and rural areas, to strengthen eco-friendly agriculture.”
