Jeongeup-si's Representative Brand 'Danpungmiin Rice' Purchase Begins

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] It was announced on the 8th that the purchase of 'Danpungmiin Rice,' the representative brand rice of Jeongeup City, Jeonbuk, will begin with Yeongwon RPC and continue until the 21st.

This year, the purchase of Danpungmiin Rice will be conducted in the form of paddy rice at five complexes (Sintaein, Gobu, Yeongwon, Ipyeong, Gamgok).

The expected purchase quantity is 1,936 tons of rough rice, and the purchased rice will be released starting from the 19th.

Prior to this purchase, the city will conduct the first-stage inspection, which is the on-site packaging inspection of the Danpungmiin Rice cultivation complexes, and the second-stage inspection, which is the protein content test, by the 11th.

The first-stage packaging inspection checks for the planting of other varieties, occurrence of lodging rice, and presence of pests and diseases to determine pass or fail.

The second stage tests sample specimens collected from each farm, restricting the purchase of paddy rice only to farms with protein content below 6.0%.

In the final purchase stage, a paddy rice seed inspection is conducted to check for the inflow of other varieties, damaged grains, discolored grains, foreign substances, and other quality factors.

The rough rice that passes the strict step-by-step inspections will be stored and managed separately by grade in a dedicated storage facility for Danpungmiin Rice.

A city official said, “We have been making continuous efforts to maintain the quality of Danpungmiin Rice as a high-quality rice,” and added, “We will enhance the competitiveness of Jeongeup rice through thorough and strict purchasing.”
