Suncheon’s Representative Rice ‘Nanwoori’ Receives High-Quality Certification for 2 Consecutive Years

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The representative brand rice of Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do, ‘Nanuuri,’ announced on the 24th that it achieved a remarkable feat worthy of the status of Suncheon, the ecological capital of Korea, by winning the Excellence Award for two consecutive years in this year’s Jeonnam Top 10 High-Quality Brand Rice evaluation.

The ‘Jeonnam Top 10 High-Quality Brand Rice’ evaluation has been conducted annually since 2003 by Jeollanam-do to upgrade the quality of Jeonnam rice. Six institutions, including the Agricultural Products Quality Management Service, Jeonnam Agricultural Research & Extension Services, and Korea Food Research Institute, strictly assess eight categories such as taste, variety, heavy metals, and pesticide residues to select the top brands each year.

‘Nanuuri,’ the representative brand rice of Suncheon City, is produced exclusively from the ‘Saechungmu’ variety. From production to purchase, storage, processing, and distribution, Suncheon Nonghyup thoroughly manages quality, earning consumer trust for its excellent taste. In particular, through contract farming, it supports stable agricultural management for producers and induces high-quality rice production by compensating income with various incentives.

An official from the Suncheon Agricultural Technology Center said, “Winning the Excellence Award for two consecutive years is the result of joint efforts by Suncheon City, Suncheon Nonghyup, and farmers. We will continue to strive to produce agricultural products with taste and quality that consumers can trust and enjoy.”

Meanwhile, the awards ceremony is scheduled to be held on the 13th of next month at the Nonghyup Hanaro Club Seoul Yangjae branch, with participation from the Governor of Jeollanam-do, members of the National Assembly, mayors and county heads, Nonghyup heads, and RPC representatives, alongside the Jeonnam rice direct transaction market.
