Boasting Higher Sugar Content and Ripening Over a Month Earlier Than Other Regions

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The ‘Hampyeong Danhobak,’ boasting high sweetness and generating an annual revenue of over 200 million KRW, will be shipped in full swing starting this month.

According to the county on the 18th, Hampyeong Danhobak, a regionally specialized crop, will be shipped more than a month earlier than the usual shipping period for Danhobak (late June to early July).

The county has advanced the harvest time of Danhobak through early cultivation and harvesting to secure market dominance and contribute to increasing farmers’ income in the region by providing production cost subsidies and technical support.

The scale of early cultivation covers 4 hectares across 13 farms, producing more than 96 tons of Danhobak annually.

Related support projects include the ‘Facility Horticulture and Danhobak Seedling Support Project’ and the ‘Eco-friendly Mini Danhobak Early Cultivation Support Project.’

A county official stated, “We will continue to encourage facility cultivation of Danhobak and accelerate related projects to contribute to increasing farmers’ income through early cultivation and production of high-quality agricultural products.”
