[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 1st that it harvested the first rice of the year from Baek Seung-deok's farm rice paddy in Hapcheon-eup.


The variety harvested this time is 'Haedamssal,' which was transplanted in early May and bore valuable fruit after about 120 days.


The 'Haedamssal' variety is characterized by early harvest capability, relatively strong resistance to diseases such as rice blast and bacterial leaf blight, and good taste.



A Hapcheon-gun official said, "We plan to continuously distribute high-quality varieties to strengthen rice competitiveness," adding, "Early-maturing rice can reduce weather-related damages such as typhoons through early harvest, and can be sold at a high price before Chuseok, which is expected to help increase farmers' income."
