[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 31st that the first shipment ceremony of the much-anticipated 'Ssangchaek Melon' by melon enthusiasts nationwide was held at the Ssangchaek-myeon post office collection center.

The shipment ceremony was attended by County Governor Moon Jun-hee, Chairman Bae Mong-hee, Cooperative President Noh Tae-yoon, Director Shin Jae-soon of the Agricultural Technology Center, and Chairman Kwak Kyu-cheol of the Ssangchaek Melon Farming Group.

Ssangchaek Melon, which people who have tasted once never forget and seek again, is cultivated by about 22 farms over approximately 7.2 hectares in the Ssangchaek-myeon area of Hapcheon-gun. It is uniquely sold nationwide by individual orders and delivered to consumers via courier.

A county official said, “Ssangchaek Melon grows in sandy soil along the Hwanggang River, capturing consumers' taste buds with its distinctive crisp texture and fragrant, sweet flavor. The Sophia Green variety, shipped from mid-February to mid-July, requires sophisticated cultivation techniques, making it a high-income crop that is difficult to imitate in other regions, which greatly boosts the pride of the farming group members.”
