Gyeongbuk Yecheon Chamoe First Shipment... "High Sugar Content and Crispy Texture"

Yecheon Chamoe, one of the representative agricultural products of Yecheon-gun, Gyeongbuk, was first shipped on the 6th.

Yecheon Chamoe is cultivated by 52 farms over approximately 23 hectares, mainly in Homyeong-myeon and Yongmun-myeon. This area has good soil, a large temperature difference between day and night, and abundant sunlight, providing a climate suitable for growing chamoe, resulting in high sugar content, a fragrant aroma, and a crisp texture.

Due to the severe cold last winter, Yecheon Chamoe bore golden fruit about ten days later than usual. It is being sold at around 80,000 KRW per 10kg box of premium grade, which is higher than last year’s price, expected to help improve local farmers’ income and stabilize management.

Kwon Seok-jin, head of the Agricultural Policy Division of Yecheon-gun, said, “Thanks to the farmers’ dedication and cultivation techniques, the premium Yecheon Chamoe was born. We will do our best to promote the excellence of Yecheon Chamoe both domestically and internationally and to connect it to farmers’ income.”
