"The ultimate goal is to become a successful returning farmer together with prospective farmers"

‘Mueonni Siraegi’ is being sold at Jeongeup Nonghyup Hanaro Mart Sangdong Branch.

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jae-gil] There is an agricultural company in Jeongeup, a clean area of Jeonbuk, where farmers directly cultivate and handle everything from production to distribution, drawing attention.

This is “Mueonni Siraegi” by Matjil Food Co., Ltd., an agricultural corporation that provides consumers with dried radish greens through a siraegi support project.

Run by CEO Kim Geum-ja, who has been a returning farmer for 6 years, and Jang Eun-chae, a returning farmer for 3 years, this company grows agricultural products raised in Jeongeup, directly farms them, and manages production, packaging, and distribution.

In particular, regarding siraegi, since it is a dried food product, CEO Kim Geum-ja explained that it is cold-air dried inside the factory under strict hygiene management rather than outdoors where fine dust and pollution are prevalent, allowing it to be stored and consumed throughout the year.

Siraegi contains various nutrients such as vitamins, dietary fiber, and minerals.

It is known to help prevent arteriosclerosis, aid in dieting, relieve constipation, support bone health, and prevent anemia.

The goal dreamed of by CEO Kim Geum-ja and Director Jang Eun-chae is to popularize this precious food grown in Jeongeup land.

Therefore, they plan to develop and produce more products using various radish greens.

CEO Kim Geum-ja stated, “As the number of single-person households increases, we are developing products targeting solo diners and are working to make siraegi available as a convenient meal.”

She added, “The ultimate goal is to become successful returning farmers for many returning farmers and prospective farmers starting agriculture in the future.”

Meanwhile, “Mueonni Siraegi” can be found online and at Jeongeup Nonghyup Hanaro Mart main store, Sangdong branch, Suseong branch, Jeongeup organic agricultural product Gomone Market, Jeongeup Horticultural Nonghyup Sigijeom, and Jeongeup Forestry Cooperative Local.
