This agreement ceremony was held to pledge cooperation for regional development and mutual benefits through strategic business partnership between Uiseong-gun and BHC Group, promoting and revitalizing sales of Uiseong-gun’s agricultural specialties.


Accordingly, Uiseong-gun will provide active administrative support for the use of the ‘Uiseong Garlic’ brand, and BHC Group plans to purchase 200 tons of premium Uiseong garlic annually for five years to use in Outback Steakhouse’s steak and pasta dishes, as well as in grilled and side dishes at Changgo43. In the future, this will lead to the development and sale of products related to Uiseong garlic.



County Governor Kim Ju-su said, “This agreement will greatly help promote the excellence of Uiseong garlic,” adding, “I hope this will be a sustainable win-win cooperation connecting urban and rural areas by expanding the market for not only Uiseong garlic but also Uiseong-gun’s excellent agricultural and marine products.”
