[Asia Economy (Dangjin) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Dangjin Haenaru Hwangto Sweet Potato Festival will be held online. At the festival, you can purchase Hwangto sweet potatoes at prices discounted from the market price.

The festival is hosted by the Dangjin Haenaru Hwangto Sweet Potato Festival Promotion Committee and supported by Dangjin City, Chungnam, from the 15th to the 22nd.

Now in its 4th year, this festival aims to increase farmers' income by enhancing the quality of sweet potato brands using the Godae Nonghyup Hwangto Sweet Potato Joint Sorting Center, and to develop and distribute various sweet potato dishes and processed products through the 6th industrialization.

On the online homepage (Dangjin Haenaru Hwangto Sweet Potato Festival) launched on the 15th, visitors can watch introductions to the Dangjin Hwangto Sweet Potato Village, a shopping mall, Hwangto Sweet Potato TV promotional videos, and sweet potato cooking recipes.

Especially during the festival period, the shopping mall on the homepage offers Dangjin Hwangto sweet potatoes at prices 20% cheaper than the regular price within a limited quantity. Additionally, by searching for Paldo Bapsang on Naver Shopping Live and purchasing through live sales, customers receive an extra 10% discount.

Hwangto sweet potatoes are recognized as a representative local food cultivated with the help of the Dangjin Agricultural Technology Center. Above all, virus-free seedlings are supplied annually to local farms, ensuring excellent quality. They are known to taste better than regular sweet potatoes due to cultivation in healthy yellow soil, abundant sunlight on the west coast, and sea breezes.

The Godae Hwangto Sweet Potato Joint Shipping Association obtained the Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) certification, a symbol of high-quality agricultural products, again this year following last year.

Choi Su-jae, chairman of the Dangjin Haenaru Hwangto Sweet Potato Festival Promotion Committee, said, “Dangjin Hwangto sweet potatoes, selected at the Godae Nonghyup Hwangto Sweet Potato Joint Sorting Center, are expected to captivate consumers’ tastes with the best flavor and quality nationwide. We hope many people will join this year’s festival, which will be held online.”
