The ‘Jeollabuk-do Governor Certified Products’ project is aimed at discovering and nurturing excellent products from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Jeollabuk-do that have superior quality and high future growth potential.

Every year, the Governor of Jeollabuk-do selects outstanding SME products as representative products of Jeollabuk-do, recognizes their quality, and contributes to increasing corporate sales and revitalizing the local economy by supporting market development.

Applications must be submitted by the 29th by completing the application form and related documents and submitting them to the Future Advanced Industry Division at City Hall.

Eligibility requires companies to have their headquarters and manufacturing plants located within the region and to be directly producing products, with the company established for more than three years.

The number of employees must be fewer than 300, and the company must have obtained at least one certification from a national or other accredited quality certification institution.

Application fields include three categories: agricultural, livestock, and fishery products; traditional and processed foods; and consumer goods among industrial products. Each company may apply with only one representative product.

Regarding raw material usage standards, agricultural, livestock, and fishery products must be sourced from within the province; traditional and processed foods and fishery products must be domestically sourced; and industrial products may include some imported raw materials.

Selected products as Governor Certified Products will receive benefits such as participation in regional special sales events in the metropolitan area, entry into the Jeollabuk-do Excellent Products Hall, and support for participation in exhibitions.

They will also receive substantial support for market development through home shopping, e-commerce, and online and offline marketing projects.
