Yeongyang-gun Ecotourism Council donated rice grown using eco-friendly farming methods for neighbors in need.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] The Yeongyang-gun Ecotourism Council in Gyeongbuk donated 60 bags of rice to help neighbors in need within the county on the 17th.

The county's Ecotourism Council is an organization formed by residents of Suha 2 and 3-ri in Subi-myeon to promote ecotourism. It began in 2018 as the Ecotourism Suha 2 and 3-ri Regional Development Council and established the Suha Agricultural Cooperative Corporation, capable of profit-making businesses, in 2021.

The council has been carrying out various projects such as operating ecotourism programs, environmental cleanup activities, and rice harvesting through eco-friendly snail farming methods. For three consecutive years up to this year, they have practiced sharing by donating rice they directly cultivated to help their neighbors.

Chairman Jang Jubong said, “As winter approaches, I think more about neighbors in need around us. I hope our sharing can be of some help to them.”

In response, Yeongyang-gun Mayor Oh Dochang expressed his gratitude, saying, “Thank you for not forgetting and helping neighbors in need again this year. Thanks to you, many people will be able to spend the winter warmly.”
