[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-su] Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 25th that the nationwide first online special flower exhibition, directly promoted by farmers to help rose growers struggling due to COVID-19, was sold out within half a day of sales opening.

This special exhibition was prepared from the 24th to March 14 to support rose growers who are experiencing severe management difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, which caused cancellations of various events such as entrance and graduation ceremonies, auction failures, and disposal at production sites.

As a result of simultaneous sales on the day of the event through Gangjin-gun’s online shopping mall ‘Chorok Mideum’, Jeollanam-do’s online shopping mall ‘Namdo Jangteo’, and the Korea Post’s online shopping mall ‘Post Office Shopping’, 35,000 roses were sold out early due to an overwhelming number of applicants within half a day of the opening. Accordingly, the county plans to ship the roses sequentially only for the completed orders.

Jo Woo-cheol, CEO of Ddangsim Flower Corporation, said, “We thank everyone who supported us through online direct transactions,” and added, “We will continue to take the lead in promoting Cheongja-gol Gangjin roses nationwide.”

Lee Seung-ok, the county governor, said, “I hope this special exhibition will be of some help to flower farmers,” and added, “We will continue to take the lead in increasing farm income through activating direct transactions for various agricultural specialties.”
