Gurye-gun to Operate 'Gurye Persimmon Direct Market' Starting from the 28th

[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] Jeonnam Gurye-gun announced on the 23rd that it will operate a direct transaction market for ‘Gurye Gam’ (persimmons, Daebong) at the Gurye 5-day Market from the 28th of this month to the 18th of next month (on the 3rd, 8th, 13th, and 18th), coinciding with the peak shipping period of the delicious and high-quality ‘Gurye Gam’.

‘Gurye Gam’ is widely known for its excellent coloration and very high sweetness due to the natural environment of Jirisan Mountain and Seomjingang River and the large temperature difference between day and night. The fertile soil results in firm flesh and excellent storability. It also boasts outstanding quality, having received the Top Fruit award in the persimmon category.

The ‘Gurye Gam’ direct transaction market, held for the sixth time this year, will be relocated to the newly established parking lot of the 5-day market to provide farmers with a stable sales channel, with about 90 farms expected to participate.

A county official said, “The operation of the direct transaction market will not only create income for producing farmers but also provide consumers with a great opportunity to directly taste and purchase delicious Gurye Gam.”
