[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Korea's representative fruit, 'Jirisan Sancheong Gotgam,' is now available through the country's largest crowdfunding platform, 'Wadiz.'

On the 28th, Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced that it has been conducting crowdfunding for 'Sancheong Gotgam' from the 23rd until January 18th of next year.

Sancheong Gotgam has gained great popularity, achieving 374% of its funding goal as of the 28th, just six days after the funding began.

The products offered through the funding consist of four items, including Sancheong Gotgam and dried persimmon gift sets. All can be purchased at a 30% discounted price.

Once the funding goal is reached, the funds will be charged, and the rewards (products) will be shipped collectively afterward.

Shipping is free for participants. The products are scheduled to be delivered by the 25th after the funding ends.

Sancheong-gun and the Jirisan Sancheong Gotgam Festival Committee are holding the 14th Jirisan Sancheong Gotgam Festival online to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and this crowdfunding is part of the online festival program.

Meanwhile, Sancheong Gotgam is considered a top winter snack because, due to the development of processing technology utilizing natural conditions, it contains 2 to 20 times more vitamin C compared to dried persimmons from other major production areas.
