[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Ulju-gun, Ulsan City, will export 13.6 tons of the local specialty product "Ulsan Pear" produced this year to the United States.

On the 10th, Ulju-gun held a farewell event at the Yulli Office of Ulsan Horticultural Cooperative in Yulli, Cheongnyang-eup, attended by Lee Soon-geol, Ulju-gun Governor, Kim Young-cheol, Chairman of Ulju-gun Council, the head of Ulsan Horticultural Cooperative, and representatives of producing farms, wishing for a successful export.

This event was organized to instill pride in farmers who have preserved Ulsan’s specialty products despite difficult conditions such as decreased pear consumption due to COVID-19 and economic recession, and reduced pear harvest rates caused by abnormal weather.

The Ulsan pears to be exported on this day are of the Wonhwang variety, totaling 13.6 tons, worth approximately 45 million KRW.

The county plans to export a total of 400 tons of Ulsan pears worth about 1.3 billion KRW by December to increase farmers' income.

Lee Soon-geol, Ulju-gun Governor, said, “Through the export of Ulsan Ulju pears to the United States, we will actively carry out administration to widely promote the excellence of local specialty products worldwide, stabilize domestic pear prices, and increase the income of pear farming households.”
