Governor Shin Woo-cheol said, "I hope the Agricultural Specialties Complex Distribution Center will play a pivotal role in expanding sales channels for agricultural specialties through the establishment of a systematic and stable distribution network." He added, "The county will work with Wando Nonghyup to ensure thorough quality control so that safer and fresher agricultural specialties reach the national dining table and to further enhance trust in 'Wando Nature As It Is Agricultural Specialties.'"

He also said, "We will realize the branding of Wando agricultural specialties."
