Jeonnam Rice Wins 'Best Premium Award Chosen by Women' for 14 Consecutive Years

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Province announced on the 27th that Jeonnam rice has been selected for the 14th consecutive year in the eco-friendly rice category of the '22nd Best Luxury Brand Award Chosen by Women.'

Organized by Women’s Newspaper and sponsored by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, the 'Best Luxury Brand Award Chosen by Women' was selected through a comprehensive survey of 1,000 adult women nationwide aged 20 and over, along with evaluations by a selection committee composed of experts.

The reason Jeonnam rice has been selected for 14 consecutive years is mainly attributed to the fact that it accounts for 67% of the nationwide eco-friendly rice certification area and distributes high-quality rice processed in eco-friendly specialized milling facilities, thereby securing consumer trust.

The province supplies organic rice to daycare centers and elementary, middle, and high school meal programs within the province for the first time nationwide, and also supplies more than 50% of the eco-friendly rice demand for school meals in Seoul, contributing to students’ health and farmers’ income.

Kang Jongcheol, Director of Agricultural Food Distribution at Jeonnam Province, said, “Despite the difficult conditions caused by COVID-19, 64% of the rice packages for Seoul school meals are supplied by Jeonnam rice, solidifying its reputation as the number one eco-friendly region. We will continue to do our best to ensure Jeonnam rice is loved by consumers through quality enhancement and distribution revitalization.”
