Users of the excellent agricultural product trademark receive support of 60 million KRW over three years (including 50% self-payment) for packaging materials, signboard installation costs, etc.

Gyeongsangbuk-do received applications from February to May this year and conducted on-site inspections to select excellent agricultural product trademark users. The final candidates were selected through the screening of the Gyeongbuk Excellent Agricultural Products Review Committee, composed of 15 experts from various fields including distribution companies.

The screening targets must be produced and processed within Gyeongsangbuk-do and have a standard grade of product (上品). Gyeongsangbuk-do grants trademark use permission to companies that maintain an annual sales scale of over 500 million KRW and meet certain quality standards and safety verification. Since its first implementation nationwide in 1997, 161 locations (69 items) have received the right to use the 'Gyeongbuk Excellent Agricultural Products Trademark.'

Kim Jong-su, Director of the Agriculture, Livestock, and Distribution Bureau of Gyeongsangbuk-do, stated, "As consumer demand for safe local excellent agricultural products increases, we will further strengthen the certification and branding of excellent agricultural products."
