[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Gyeongnam Sancheong-gun Agricultural Technology Center announced on the 3rd that it has developed 'Strawberry Rice Bread' using Jirisan Sancheong strawberries and Korean rice.

Sancheong Strawberry Rice Bread closely resembles strawberries at first glance in size, shape, and color.

Made with Korean rice, the exterior is crispy while the inside contains Sancheong strawberry jam, giving it a fresh and moist taste. Its bite-sized form makes it a convenient snack to enjoy anywhere.

The Sancheong-gun Agricultural Technology Center acquired intellectual property rights such as patents and trademarks related to strawberry bread earlier this year.

The patent is for a 'Strawberry bread manufacturing device capable of mold separation and uniform production,' and the trademark registration for 'Strawberry Bread (Ddalmi-joo)' has been applied for and registered.

Jirisan Sancheong strawberries have been selected as a representative brand of Korea for five consecutive years.

About 800 strawberry farmers in Sancheong-gun produce approximately 16,000 tons of strawberries annually over 430 hectares, generating high income of 130 billion KRW.

Yoon Jin-gu, Director of Distribution Income, said, "It is significant that we created a product that can attract the interest and love of not only general consumers but also visitors to our Sancheong by utilizing local specialties," adding, "We plan to support it so that it can establish itself as a representative local food."
