[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Gyeongnam Hamyang-gun announced on the 5th that the full-scale harvest of the sweet and sour "Hamyang Premium Strawberries" has begun, centered around the main strawberry production areas in the region.

Grown in the pristine natural environment of Jirisan, nourished by germanium-rich soil and abundant sunlight, the "Hamyang Premium Strawberries" cover 50 hectares across 111 farms, generating an annual income of 9 billion KRW. Known for their firm flesh and rich juice, they offer a delightful chewing experience.

Recently, exports of about 200 tons worth 1.5 million USD annually to countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Hong Kong have significantly contributed to the economic improvement of domestic agricultural products.

The premium Hamyang strawberries, integrated with smart advanced technologies such as elevated beds and ICT smart convergence facilities, have seen their harvest period gradually advancing, and are expected to captivate consumers' tastes from early November through May.

A county official stated, "To produce premium strawberries, active attention must be paid to strawberry cultivation from seedling to harvest," adding, "We will provide guidance to improve the skills of strawberry farmers and ensure stable income through administrative support such as smart facilities and customized strawberry cultivation technology assistance."
