[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Gominhyeong] Buan garlic has been exported to the United States for the first time in history.


On the 9th, Buan County held a loading ceremony for Buan garlic attended by 50 people including Kwon Ik-hyun, the governor of Buan County, heads of the Nonghyup cooperative, distribution company representatives, and farmers.


The total amount of Buan garlic being exported this time is 304 tons (15,200 bags of 20kg each).


Buan Cheonnyeonui Somssi Cooperative Joint Business Corporation, anticipating a price drop due to overproduction of garlic this year, signed an export contract with Namil Agricultural Cooperative Corporation and successfully promoted the export of Buan garlic to the United States.


This export is expected to greatly contribute to securing stable sales channels and price stability for Buan garlic.



Kwon Ik-hyun, governor of Buan County, said, “Using this garlic export as a stepping stone, we will do our best to pioneer overseas markets so that all agricultural products produced in Buan can be exported worldwide.”
