Gyeongbuk Gyeongsan Nonghyup Renovates Agricultural Products Distribution Center... Sorting Capacity Increased by 80%

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongsangbuk-do Gyeongsan Agricultural Cooperative held a completion ceremony for the 'Agricultural Products Production Area Distribution Center' on the 27th at 103 Jungbang-ro, Gyeongsan-si.

The completion ceremony was held simply, reflecting the social atmosphere due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), with about 50 attendees including cooperative officials and members of the joint shipping association operation committee.

The 'Gyeongsan Nonghyup Agricultural Products Production Area Distribution Center' was renovated by demolishing the old auction hall built in 1995 and expanding the sorting center in its place, with a project cost of 2.1 billion KRW (800 million KRW subsidy, 1.3 billion KRW self-funded). According to Gyeongsan Nonghyup, this project will increase the annual sorting and packaging capacity of major local specialties, peaches and grapes, from 1,000 tons to 1,800 tons.

Chairman Lee Jae-gi stated, "If Gyeongsan Nonghyup takes responsibility for agricultural product distribution, farmers will be able to focus solely on producing high-quality agricultural products, creating an environment that will lead to increased farm income."
