‘Hampyeong Chamssuk’ Officially Shipped from This Month... 10 Days Earlier than Average

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] 'Hampyeong Chamssuk,' one of the five specialized crops of Hampyeong County, Jeollanam-do, has begun full-scale shipment starting this month.

According to Hampyeong County on the 21st, Hampyeong Chamssuk is currently cultivated by 11 farms over 3.7 hectares in the region.

Although the scale is smaller compared to other regions, due to the self-developed early cultivation technology, it is shipped about 15 days earlier than the usual mugwort harvest season.

Especially this year, with significant improvements in early cultivation technology, the shipment period has been advanced by about 10 days compared to the average year, expecting to increase winter farm income through market preemption.

'Hampyeong Chamssuk' is known for its excellent health functionality, containing a large amount of unique aroma, vitamin A, cineole, beta-carotene, and other components.

Currently, the county distributes it to cooperatives and others through eco-friendly distribution companies in small packages of 150g units, and plans to actively foster the mugwort processing industry, such as mugwort rice cakes targeting well-being households in the future.

A county official said, "Hampyeong Chamssuk is an eco-friendly agricultural product that undergoes strict management from production to packaging," and added, "We hope for much interest and consumption of Hampyeong Chamssuk, which tastes good and is beneficial for health."
