[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Gyeongsangbuk-do held the eleventh 'Saebaram Happiness Bus On-site Meeting' on the 21st at the Seongju-gun Agricultural Technology Center Auditorium.

Under the theme "Let's Revitalize the Spirit of Agricultural Product Processing, Distribution, and Sales," the meeting was attended by about 40 people, including Governor Lee Cheol-woo, Seongju County Mayor Lee Byung-hwan, agricultural product processing, distribution, and sales companies, Chamoe Technology Master farmers, Chamoe Master farmers, and heads of institutions and social organizations.

During the session for raising and responding to civil complaints presided over directly by Governor Lee Cheol-woo, agricultural product processing, distribution, and sales companies facing difficulties such as decreased agricultural product exports due to COVID-19 and challenges in securing offline sales channels raised their concerns.

Governor Lee Cheol-woo emphasized, "We will do our best to support the development and production costs of packaging materials for excellent agricultural product branding and expand online shopping malls such as 'Saeso,' Baro Market, and local food direct stores so that farmers can focus solely on production activities without worrying about sales channels."

He continued, "We will review various support measures so that more young farmers can practically benefit from farming startups through the operation of the Youth Agricultural Startup Support Center, youth farmer mentoring support, the salaried young farmer system, and the youth farmer startup foundation project."

After the meeting, Governor Lee Cheol-woo visited 'Chamseom Agricultural Cooperative Corporation,' a rural convergence (6th industry) certified company in Wolhang-myeon, Seongju-gun, to encourage the staff and listen to difficulties related to product production and sales.

Meanwhile, the Saebaram Happiness Bus city and county on-site meetings are held with minimized attendance to prevent COVID-19, strictly adhering to quarantine guidelines such as temperature checks, hand sanitization, mask-wearing, and installation of transparent partitions.
