[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Yoo Doo-seok) has been selected for the 'Regular Direct Transaction Market Support Project' organized by the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT) for three consecutive years, the only local government in Jeollanam-do to achieve this.

According to Jangseong-gun on the 3rd, among the 27 sites selected nationwide, a total of three sites in Jeollanam-do were included in the project, and the county gained more attention as two direct transaction markets (Jangseongho, Hwangryonggang) were selected among them.

Securing 50 million KRW in national funds, the county plans to open a new direct transaction market at Hwangryonggang, famous for its flower path, along with supporting the existing Jangseongho Waterfront Market.

The Hwangryonggang Agricultural Products Direct Transaction Market, scheduled to open this month, was named 'Hwangryonggang Flea Market' after the first letters of 'flower river.'

The operation of the Waterfront Market located on the Jangseongho waterfront path, which sees an average of 7,000 visitors on weekends, will also be further revitalized.

The county plans to provide customized education, consultation, and promotion to participating organizations in the direct transaction market to ensure systematic operation and management.

Governor Yoo Doo-seok said, "Through this project selection, we have provided local farmers with opportunities to develop sales channels and visitors to tourist attractions with a chance to encounter Jangseong's premium agricultural specialties," adding, "We will operate the market solidly to become a vibrant direct transaction market that satisfies both farmers and consumers."
