[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gui-yeol] The Gyeongbuk Agricultural Technology Institute will hold an evaluation and exhibition of excellent processed agricultural products from the 3rd to the 12th at the Gumi Saemaeul Theme Park Memorial Hall to promote products produced by local processing management entities.

This exhibition will feature 40 processing management entities fostered by the province, showcasing over 80 excellent processed products made from local agricultural products, including Hangwa (traditional Korean sweets), jams, jocheong (grain syrup), beverages, alcoholic drinks, and sauces, to urban consumers.

During the exhibition, famous domestic MDs (Merchandising Experts) such as Shinsegae Department Store, TMON, and the Seoul City Exchange Business Group will be invited to promote the products and hold evaluation sessions.

Additionally, consulting support through one-on-one connections between MDs and processing management entities will be provided to improve product quality and design, aiming to strengthen the competitiveness of processing management entities and secure sales channels for their products.

Shin Yong-seup, Director of the Gyeongbuk Agricultural Technology Institute, said, “Since this event is held at the Saemaeul Theme Park, it will be a meaningful occasion where the development of our country and the achievements of the future industry of agricultural product processing can be seen together. We will continue to strengthen R&D in the agricultural and food sector and promote processed product marketing activities to enhance consumer awareness.”

Since 2010, Gyeongbuk Province has supported the establishment of 108 small-scale agricultural product processing businesses to increase rural income, generating more than six times (about 70 million KRW) the off-farm income compared to general farms, thereby contributing to the revitalization of the local economy.
