Imsil-gun Ranks First Nationwide in Horticulture Industry and Nonghyup Sanji Distribution Sector Evaluation

[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, has emerged as the top integrated marketing local government by sweeping first place nationwide in both the horticulture industry and the agricultural cooperative regional distribution sector evaluations.

According to the county on the 7th, it first achieved the highest grade, A, and ranked first among local governments nationwide in the "2022 Horticulture Industry Comprehensive Plan Implementation Performance Evaluation" hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.

The county has earned the honor of receiving an A grade for four consecutive years.

In the concurrently conducted comprehensive evaluation of the agricultural cooperative organization sector's regional distribution, the Imsil-gun Cooperative Joint Business Corporation (CEO Eom Gwiseop) also achieved an A grade and first place nationwide, resulting in the allocation of 3.3 billion KRW in interest-free funds.

The Horticulture Industry Comprehensive Plan is a five-year (2018?2022) comprehensive development plan aimed at revitalizing the production and distribution of horticultural agricultural products.

This evaluation was conducted to check the proper implementation of the Horticulture Industry Comprehensive Plan (2018?2022) and to promote the strengthening of local governments' roles and the activation of integrated marketing.

It evaluated 125 sites nationwide (114 local governments, 11 item-wide organizations) based on achievement levels against targets across six indicators in three categories: implementation efforts, production, and distribution.

This year, the county is focusing on revitalizing integrated marketing of horticultural agricultural products by investing over 600 million KRW of its own project funds in cooperation with the agricultural cooperative.

Imsil-gun Cooperative Joint Business Corporation (APC), the county's specialized integrated marketing organization, has grown by more than 30% annually and achieved a record high integrated marketing handling performance of 24.5 billion KRW in 2021.

This has once again proven that Imsil-gun's integrated marketing is the nation's best leading organization.

Receiving the highest grade for four consecutive years and securing first place nationwide is regarded as the valuable result of efforts made through cooperation among administration, agricultural cooperatives, and the joint business corporation for the development of the horticulture industry.

A county official said, "This honorable achievement is thanks to the efforts of local farmers," adding, "We will continue to strive to increase farm income by promoting multifaceted marketing to support farmers facing difficulties due to COVID-19."
