Commercialized through the Corn Rural Convergence Industry Project

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seonsik] Yeosu City in Jeollanam-do has commercialized a "Corn Syrup Gift Set" using "Yeosu Chaloksusu," the largest corn-producing region in Jeollanam-do, and began full-scale sales from the 19th.

The "Corn Syrup Gift Set" is produced by Hyangyumi Co., Ltd., an agricultural corporation located in Anpoli, Hwayang-myeon, and was launched through the "Corn Rural Convergence Industry Project," which was selected in the Jeollanam-do Local Industry Promotion Contest.

The gift set consists of two 350g containers and one box containing twenty 15g stick packs, priced at 25,000 KRW. Currently, it is being sold at a 20% discount for 20,000 KRW in celebration of the Lunar New Year holiday.

"Corn syrup" uses 100% domestically sourced ingredients, including powder from "Yeosu Chaloksusu," which is grown facing the sea breeze and has a chewy texture, rice flour, and malt, making it excellent for health and safety.

Syrup is said to have been frequently given to princes during the Joseon Dynasty and is a health food that preserves traditional flavor and taste. It can be used in various dishes and pairs especially well with rice cakes.

A city official stated, "The production of corn-processed products such as syrup leads to guaranteed sales channels and income for corn farmers," adding, "We plan to commercialize and launch various products such as snacks and functional teas in the future."
