[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Cheon-seok] The "2nd Boseong Kiwi Festival" will be held for two days from November 18 to 19 in the Joseong-myeon area of Boseong, Jeonnam, the number one kiwi production region in South Korea.

Unlike the "1st Kiwi Festival" held mainly online last year due to COVID-19, the "2nd Boseong Kiwi Festival" will offer a variety of experiential events, activities, and sales events, providing a rich array of attractions.

In particular, a Geographical Indication (GI) registration proclamation ceremony has been prepared to commemorate and promote "Boseong Kiwi," which passed the final review for South Korea's GI registration in the kiwi category for the first time nationwide.

On the first day of the festival, the 18th, the opening ceremony and the GI registration proclamation ceremony will kick off the event, followed by performances by invited singers such as Yuk Joong-wan Band and Lee Jae-sung.

Kiwi discount sales will be promoted both online and offline simultaneously. During the festival period, high-quality Boseong kiwis can be purchased at about a 20% discount through TV home shopping, Naver Live Commerce, highway rest areas, and the festival venue.

On the second day, the 19th, a Kiwi Development Forum, live commerce, impromptu talent shows, invited singer performances, and saxophone performances will be held, creating a harmonious event for local residents and tourists to enjoy together.

Throughout the festival, ongoing programs such as cooking experience booths using kiwi, including kiwi cookies and kiwi pizza, as well as face painting, will be operated to add more fun to the festival.

Yang Deok-man, chairman of the Kiwi Festival Promotion Committee, said, "The second Boseong Kiwi Festival this year has prepared a wealth of attractions and enjoyable activities to commemorate the registration of South Korea's agricultural product GI and to widely promote the premium Boseong kiwi domestically." He added, "We hope many people will participate both online and offline and have the opportunity to purchase high-quality Boseong kiwis at affordable prices."

Meanwhile, Boseong County plans to further enhance consumer trust and widely promote the reputation of Boseong kiwi by investing about 7.3 billion KRW in the kiwi industry through the Rural New Vitality Plus Project since 2022 to produce high-quality kiwis.
