Muan-gun Public Officials Launch Campaign to Buy Cabbage

Fall Cabbage Sales Reach 13.8 Tons... Exceeding Expectations

[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do, has launched a campaign to buy cabbages to help cabbage farmers who have been suffering from double difficulties due to price drops caused by overproduction and good crop conditions, as well as sluggish consumption since last month.

According to the county on the 8th, public officials, four related organizations in the province including Jeollanam-do Provincial Office, and sister cities such as Gunpo City participated, purchasing 13.8 tons (1,730 bags / 8 kg each) of cabbage worth about 9 million won, achieving results beyond expectations.

In addition, self-help efforts such as mountain area disposal (105 hectares) and export (63 tons) to stabilize autumn cabbage supply and prices, along with support for export logistics costs, helped ease the burden on farmers struggling with the cabbage price collapse.

Muan County plans to strengthen online sales promotion activities through TV home shopping and conduct tasting events at the county office cafeteria, various fairs, and direct trade events for agricultural specialties to continuously promote consumption.
