[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 4th that it will carry out a 'Buy Flowers Campaign' to help flower farmers who are struggling due to a sharp decline in flower retail caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

The county is conducting the flower buying campaign with the participation of all departments, eup/myeon offices, and related organizations such as the Nonghyup, and flower farmers have been supplying flowers sequentially since the 1st.

An unmanned sales stand will be installed in the county office lobby to sell freesias, hydrangeas, kalanchoes, wildflowers, and more.

Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang-gun, said, "With the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, graduation ceremonies and other events are held online, causing great difficulties for flower farmers," and added, "We hope many people will participate in the Buy Flowers Campaign to support flower farmers."

In addition, the county plans to promote flower consumption by conducting the 'One Table One Flower Basket · One Flower Vase Campaign' and through activities such as giving flowers on employees' birthdays and other anniversaries, placing flower arrangements at various events and meetings, sharing flowers expressing gratitude and appreciation during Family Month in May, and sending cooperation letters to related organizations to encourage daily flower use.
