[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Gyeongsangbuk-do announced on the 15th that it held the 'Saenghwal Gaeseonhoe Unity Festival and Drive-Thru Agricultural Products Sales Event' at Daegu Stadium Taeguk Square on the 14th.

On that day, to prevent the spread of COVID-19, only a minimal number of people attended, and on-site activities were limited to an awards ceremony, agricultural product sales, and promotional events. The Saenghwal Gaeseonhoe festival was conducted in a non-face-to-face manner, with about 900 members from each city and county participating online.

At the awards ceremony recognizing members who have devoted themselves to community development and outstanding associations, Yoon Soon-ae, president of the Korea Saenghwal Gaeseonhoe Andong City Federation, received the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Award. Additionally, 23 people received the Governor's Award, 2 received the Rural Development Administration Commissioner’s Award, and six outstanding associations from Pohang, Cheongsong, and other areas were honored.

At the drive-thru agricultural product sales event held that day, 1,000 sets of kimchi seasoning kits were sold like hotcakes at a 50% discount for 20,000 won. New varieties of rice developed by Gyeongbuk Province, such as Dasom rice, Gumi mixed grains, Yeongju apples, and oriental melon ice cream also gained great popularity.

At the event site, Governor Lee Cheol-woo actively participated as a daily Saenghwal Gaeseonhoe member by joining kimchi-making activities with the Gyeongbuk Saenghwal Gaeseonhoe members and directly taking part in the sales of Gyeongbuk agricultural products.

Governor Lee Cheol-woo emphasized to the Saenghwal Gaeseonhoe members, "In this era of rapid change after COVID-19, the role of women has become even more important," and urged them to "lead the changes and stand tall as the main actors of Gyeongbuk agriculture and rural communities."
