[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] The Yeongyang-gun Eco-friendly Agriculture Association in Gyeongbuk attended the Gyeongbuk Province Eco-friendly Agricultural Products Evaluation held for three days from the 18th to the 20th at Pohang Yeongildae Beach to promote the excellence of clean Yeongyang-gun eco-friendly agricultural products both domestically and internationally.

This evaluation event, hosted by the Gyeongbuk Province Eco-friendly Agriculture Association, saw the county submit six items including organic sweet potatoes, dried chili peppers, and napa cabbage cultivated through high-quality eco-friendly farming. The sweet potato (Beniharuka) grown organically by farmer Jeong Chandong from Ilwol-myeon, Yeongyang-gun, won the grand prize (Governor of Gyeongbuk Award) in the special crop and tuber category, bringing honor to the county.

During the event, promotional and sales activities were held, where Yeongyang-gun’s organic chili powder, mixed grains, and Good Songi mushrooms were promoted and sold, providing a great opportunity to introduce the county’s excellent agricultural products to consumers.

County Governor Oh Do-chang stated, “Although farmers are committed to producing eco-friendly agricultural products, they face many difficulties due to consumers’ lack of awareness and unsecured sales channels. I am pleased that this event served as an opportunity to sell eco-friendly agricultural products produced in Yeongyang-gun to consumers and widely promote their excellence.” He added, “I hope that in the future, safe and healthy food will be produced, creating opportunities for producers and consumers to coexist.”
