[Yeosu=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Cheol-hoon] Yeosu City in Jeollanam-do announced that it will step up promotion and support for expanding sales channels in line with the full-scale shipping season of ‘Seomseom Yeosu Corn’.

First, on the 27th at 3:30 PM, NS Home Shopping will conduct the first sale of ‘Yeosu Glutinous Corn.’ A second home shopping sale is planned for July 5.

On the 28th at 6 PM, the KBS program ‘6 O’Clock My Hometown’ will feature an introduction to ‘Seomseom Yeosu Corn.’

From July 1 to 10, a promotional event for ‘Seomseom Yeosu Corn’ will be held at Gwangju Shinsegae Department Store.

Consumers can also easily find the delicious and high-quality ‘Seomseom Yeosu Corn’ on online shopping malls such as Naver and Namdo Market.

The ‘2022 Seomseom Yeosu Corn Festival’ will also take place.

The city will hold the festival for two days on July 16 and 17 at Najin Wharf in front of the Hwayang-myeon Office, operating exhibition halls, sales booths, performances, experiences, various events, and food markets.

A city official said, “Yeosu is the largest corn production area in Jeollanam-do, and the cultivation area is increasing every year. To increase farmers’ income, we will do our best not only to expand sales channels for glutinous corn but also to support the development and promotion marketing of processed products such as steamed corn, corn cobs, syrup, snacks, tea, and bread.”
