[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 22nd, Miryang City in Gyeongnam announced that its agricultural and food exports reached 38.3 billion KRW last year.

Despite the crisis situation, the city continuously invited overseas buyers to discover new sales channels and conducted export consultations, securing a stable export market in Hong Kong.

Additionally, by participating in non-face-to-face export consultation meetings, Miryang actively promoted its agricultural and food products, resulting in increased exports of kimchi, apple juice, sikhye, nurungji, and plant-based cream.

Moreover, compared to 2019, the number of export items expanded to include two types of fresh agricultural products and one processed food item, and the city plans to challenge designation as an export-specialized company promoted by Gyeongsangnam-do for sustainable growth.

Mayor Park Il-ho said, “We will actively support administration so that buyers visiting Miryang can export many excellent agricultural and food products beyond the agricultural and processed foods previously exported.”
