[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Sharon] Garlic from Namhae, Gyeongnam, was officially launched on the 9th with the first sale ceremony held at the Saenamhae Nonghyup Agricultural Products Collection Center.

Jang Chung-nam, the governor of Namhae County, urged, "Please unite the hearts of farmers so that the treasure island Namhae garlic can firmly take root as an income crop."

This year, due to favorable winter growing conditions, the harvest is expected to be about a week earlier than usual, and Namhae County anticipates that the drying condition, which determines quality, will be much better.

This year, it is estimated that 4,496 farms will produce about 8,870 tons from a cultivation area of 650 hectares.

On this day, the auction price of Namhae garlic was formed at around 3,000 KRW per kg for the highest grade and 2,500 KRW for the first grade, similar to the same period last year.

Namhae County will hold a "Treasure Island Namhae Agricultural Specialty Products Sales Event" at the Yubae Literature Museum Square in Namhae-eup from the 12th to the 14th.
