[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 16th, the 'Sancheong County Sericulture Agricultural Cooperative' located in Maechon-ri, Geumseo-myeon, Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam, announced that it held the 'Sancheong County Excellent Agricultural Food U.S. Export Shipping Ceremony.'

The shipping ceremony was attended by the Sancheong County Governor, the head of the county council, county council members, the head of Sancheong County Nonghyup, representatives from the Sancheong County Export Association and export companies, and officials from 'Kkotpineun Achim Maeul' (Flowering Morning Village).

The exported items include 44 products from 15 companies such as Geumseo Hanbangchon rice, mulberry juice, and safflower seed pills, with an export value of about $68,000, approximately 82 million KRW.

Sales are planned to be conducted through the largest Korean-targeted online shopping mall in the United States.

This export is the result of various efforts by Sancheong County to enter the U.S. online food market, including promotional events with 'Kkotpineun Achim Maeul USA' since last year.

In particular, the county held an export meeting in April to gather diverse ideas and opinions from local export companies.

The Sancheong County Governor stated, "This U.S. export recognizes the excellent quality of our Sancheong agricultural products, and we will do our best to prepare continuous export expansion plans to increase the practical benefits of local companies."

Meanwhile, 'Kkotpineun Achim Maeul' is a community for selling agricultural products and daily necessities that started from 'Godowon's Morning Letter,' an email letter delivered every morning to 3.6 million people worldwide.
