[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 18th, four executives of the Geochang-gun Informatization Farmers' Association in Gyeongnam and County Governor Gu In-mo held a meeting to discuss agricultural policies.


Governor Gu and the executives of the Informatization Farmers' Association discussed agricultural policy measures tailored to the rapidly changing agricultural product marketing market and exchanged related information.


Chairman Kang Dae-wook stated, "Due to the COVID-19 situation, the trend of non-face-to-face consumption and non-face-to-face marketing sales of agricultural products is increasing as the mainstream," and suggested, "Geochang-gun should also establish real-time sales broadcasting facilities to respond to this trend."


Governor Gu In-mo said, "I agree that changes in urban consumers' consumption patterns are affecting the sales and production of agricultural products, and policy responses to this are necessary," adding, "We will reflect the proposals made by the Informatization Association in policies to help increase the actual income of farmers."



The Geochang-gun Informatization Farmers' Association consists of 49 members and carries out projects to pioneer sales channels and strengthen farmers' capabilities. Major initiatives include e-commerce education for farmers and entry into smart store distribution platforms.
