[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Institutions and organizations in the Sancheong region of Gyeongnam are joining forces to revitalize the 6th industry of ‘berry,’ a representative anti-aging food.

According to Sancheong-gun on the 26th, Sancheong-gun Nonghyup, Sancheong-gun Sericulture Nonghyup, Sancheong Blueberry Joint Sorting Association, Bluehill, and Byeolidang signed a business agreement on the 25th at the Sancheong-gun Nonghyup conference room for the ‘Development of Sancheong-gun Local Food (Berry) Convergence Industry.’

The signing ceremony was attended by Lee Byung-sul, Executive Director of Sancheong-gun Nonghyup; Kang Yong-su, President of Sancheong-gun Sericulture Nonghyup; Yoo Byung-bu, Representative of Sancheong Blueberry Joint Sorting Association; Kang Sang-beom, CEO of Bluehill; Moon Sun-hye, CEO of Byeolidang; as well as officials from Sancheong Nonghyup and Sancheong-gun.

Through the agreement, they promised to mutually cooperate for the development of the 6th industry, including production, processing, and distribution of berries, as well as linkage with the tourism industry.

The agreement includes ▲ education and organizational management targeting local berry farms (blueberries, mulberries, etc.) ▲ purchase and stable supply of raw materials for processing ▲ conducting tourism-linked experiential events ▲ supply using Nonghyup’s distribution network.

In particular, as a preliminary step to establish a mutual cooperation network, a project group will be formed, and Byeolidang has been selected as the lead company to smoothly promote the project.

Sancheong-gun plans to provide various administrative supports for the project promotion while coordinating differences among the agreement parties.

Lee Byung-sul, Executive Director of Sancheong-gun Nonghyup, said, “I hope this agreement will be an opportunity for fresh and processed berry products produced in Sancheong-gun to take a leap forward,” adding, “We expect berry products to become representative specialties of Sancheong alongside strawberries and dried persimmons by providing health and taste that meet modern people’s demands.”
