[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The 7th local government of Goheung County, Jeollanam-do, is actively supporting social enterprises in the area that are going through difficult times due to COVID-19.

On the 16th, Goheung County held a meeting of social economy enterprise representatives at Palyongsan Hall in the county office, with about 20 local social and village enterprise representatives and officials attending to explore ways to revitalize enterprises suited to local conditions and circumstances, the county announced on the 17th.

The meeting was directly presided over by County Governor Song Gwigeun, providing a time for communication by collecting opinions on efficient measures to revitalize enterprises, suggestions, and difficulties.

In his greeting, Governor Song emphasized, “Social economy enterprises must succeed and prosper for Goheung County to develop and thrive,” and added, “We will promote more diverse support projects to pioneer sales channels so that Goheung’s high-quality products can be distributed smoothly.”

Various opinions were presented at the meeting, including “expanding enterprise support and pioneering product sales channels” and “building networks.”

A company representative who attended the meeting said, “This is the first time to have a direct meeting with the governor,” and expressed gratitude to Goheung County for making multifaceted efforts such as operating direct transaction markets, establishing joint sales centers, and pioneering export sales channels to secure sales routes.

The county plans to refer to the opinions presented and promote various policies to revitalize the social economy, which has been stagnant due to COVID-19.

Meanwhile, Goheung County has supported social economy enterprises with a project budget of about 250 million won through “facility and equipment support projects,” “business development cost support projects,” and “parcel delivery cost support projects.”

In addition, to secure stable sales channels and build networking spaces among enterprises, a “joint sales center” is being established and is scheduled to be completed by the end of November.
