[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Mokwon University announced on the 1st that a student team from the Department of Trade and Logistics at the university won the Excellence Award at the '2022 University Student FTA (Free Trade Agreement) Utilization Academic Conference' recently hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

The competition is held annually to increase university students' interest in FTA utilization methods and to enhance practical skills related to trade.

The Mokwon University student team produced and submitted a video content titled "Strategies to Revitalize the Export of Bamboo Toothbrushes Using the Korea-Europe FTA."

The concept of the submitted video was to reduce the use of plastic toothbrushes as part of environmental protection and to increase the use of eco-friendly products such as bamboo toothbrushes.

The student team judged that several European countries with environmental interests were suitable for exporting bamboo toothbrushes overseas, and the video depicted the possibility of revitalizing bamboo exports locally in Europe by utilizing the Korea-Europe FTA.

Professor Lee Seo-young of the Department of Trade and Logistics at Mokwon University said, "We expect the competition to improve students' understanding of FTAs and practical capabilities, and that the award achievements will serve as an opportunity to enhance employment competitiveness."
