Chairman Shin Euijun pointed out, "It was quite difficult as all designs were changed when the venue was moved to Suncheon, and the secretariat staff was not supplemented," adding, "The expo workforce currently has 10 members out of the authorized 14, with 4 vacancies, so staffing must be immediately replenished."

He continued, "With about 90 days left before the expo, the Agriculture and Fisheries Committee will spare no effort in promotion and support to achieve the goals of 40 billion KRW in export contracts and 1 million visitors."

He also requested measures to pioneer domestic and international agricultural markets and expand sales channels, including ▲ deployment of professional interpreters for overseas visitors ▲ expansion of online and offline export consultation meetings and promotional sales zones ▲ and expansion of experiential activities linked with local festivals.
