Yang Su-won, President of Nokdong Nonghyup, Awarded the '6th 2020 Proud Person Award'

Honored with the Regional Nonghyup Management Award of the Year Category

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Yang Suwon, head of the Gohung Nokdong Nonghyup, announced on the 18th that he received the grand prize in the regional Nonghyup management category at the ‘6th 2020 Proud Person Awards’ ceremony held at the Korea Press Center on the afternoon of the 12th.

This event was hosted by the Proud Person Awards Organizing Committee and organized by the National Assembly Press Club, Korea Media Federation, Senday News, Daehan Broadcasting News, and Korea Celebrity Forum.

The Proud Person Awards honored individuals who represent all leaders who have contributed to national and social development through innovative efforts and dedication.

Chairman Yang, a three-term head, has provided the best financial services for local residents and farmer members. In particular, he was recognized for his contribution to securing stable sales channels and increasing farmers' real income by operating the nation’s only stem-attached Judae garlic production auction market, selling about 4,500 tons of garlic produced in Gohung County, Jeonnam, and Jeju annually.

Chairman Yang Suwon said, “We will strive even harder to create a Nonghyup that brings smiles to farmers’ faces by preventing price losses caused by the flood of agricultural products and by selling all produced agricultural products, thereby raising farm gate prices and achieving the early goal of 50 million won in farm income.”
