Since early this year, the county has been promoting the ‘Gohung-Jeju Exchange Cooperation Project’ and held a special lecture by Oh Young-hoon, Governor of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, in Gohung last June. It is striving to establish a cooperative system for regional joint development in various fields such as culture, tourism, agriculture, and logistics between the two regions.

Meanwhile, in January, an agreement was signed with Jeju Logistics Co., Ltd., a large distribution specialist company in Jeju Island, and in June, an agreement was made for the distribution and joint marketing of Gohung agricultural and marine special products between Gohung-gun, Heungyang Nonghyup, and Jeju Seogwipo Nonghyup.

Gong Yeong-min, Governor of Gohung-gun, said, “With this agreement with Jeju City and Jeju City Nonghyup, it is a great opportunity to accelerate the development of the rice market by widely promoting the high-quality and delicious Gohung rice grown in reclaimed lands such as Haechang Bay and Gohung Bay, exposed to sea breeze, to Jeju residents and tourists.” He added, “Starting with Gohung rice, we will make further efforts to ensure that excellent agricultural products produced in Gohung are loved in the Jeju region.”
