[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 9th that it will convert part of the production of street environment maintenance flowers from direct management to consignment to help flower farms struggling due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The city directly produces an average of 1.36 million flower plants annually and supplies them to 37 flower roads and flower beds.

This year, 400,000 plants, which is 30% of the total production plan, will be consigned to 12 local flower farms.

This measure is expected to return 160 million won to the flower farms, and the consignment volume will be expanded until the COVID-19 situation ends.

Mayor Heo Seong-gon said, “It is unfortunate that flower farms are facing difficulties, but I expect them to overcome wisely,” and added, “We will continue to seek practical win-win measures for flower farms.”
