[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] On the 5th, Daedong's stock price is showing an upward trend. This is interpreted as the expectation of benefits for snow removal equipment related to the 9th Winter Asian Games in 2029 being held in Saudi Arabia, the "Land of Heat."


The day before, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) held a general meeting in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and unanimously selected Neom, Saudi Arabia as the host city for the 2029 Winter Asian Games. Since the Winter Asian Games were established in 1986, this is the first time the event will be held in the West Asia region. Among the eight previous games, seven were held in East Asia: Japan (4 times), China (2 times), and Korea (1 time). Neom is a mountainous area located in the northwest of Saudi Arabia, and the Saudi Arabian government is constructing it as a planned new city.


Although Daedong seems unrelated to the Olympics, it is highly likely to benefit from the Olympic boom by supplying its main product, tractors, for snow removal purposes.



Meanwhile, last month, Daedong attracted attention by unveiling a new tractor at the '2022 GaLaBau Exhibition,' Europe's largest horticulture and landscaping industry exhibition held in Nuremberg, Germany. Daedong installed one of the largest exhibition booths among participants, approximately 400㎡ (120 pyeong), showcasing 14 products including ▲small to medium-sized tractors ranging from 20 to 60 horsepower ▲the multipurpose carrier K9 Factory Cabin model ▲the 127-horsepower HX1201 tractor, and diesel-powered ride-on lawn mowers.
