[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, is accepting applications for the 2021 Herbal Medicine Standardized Packaging Support Project until the 26th.

This project is promoted as part of the herbal medicine industry infrastructure development project and supports packaging materials with the same standards and design for herbal medicine producing farms and corporations within the region.

It was prepared to enhance the marketability and reliability of Sancheong herbal medicine and to reduce the financial burden on farms.

The support targets are herbal medicine producing farms and corporations with addresses and production sites in Sancheong-gun, with priority given to farms with large cultivation areas and those certified for quality.

The total project cost this year is 40 million KRW (20 million KRW subsidy, 20 million KRW self-payment), and the packaging specifications include three types of shopping bags (small, medium, large) and four types of herbal medicine vinyl bags (200g, 300g, 600g, 1kg).

Farms or corporations wishing to apply for the project can submit the application form and related documents through the industrial economy department of their local eup/myeon office.

A county official stated, “By using standardized packaging with unified standards and design, we will elevate the brand of Sancheong herbal medicine producing farms, satisfy consumers' purchasing desires through improved product recognition, promote sales, and contribute to increasing farm income.”
