Homeplus explained, "To get the newly harvested rice onto customers' tables as quickly as possible, we advanced the schedule significantly from sowing to harvest through pre-contracts with farms in the production areas." In particular, Goheung and Naju in Jeonnam have abundant sunlight and a mild climate, allowing for earlier harvesting of the newly harvested rice compared to other regions. They also noted that this year, there was almost no damage from heavy rain or typhoons, enabling faster procurement of larger quantities.
