Employees responded positively to the traditional Korean food products given as encouragement gifts, so through this agreement, an additional 120 sets will be purchased, and they plan to fully utilize them in the second half of the year as well.

Ryu Jong-ryeol, the head of the Inspection Office, said, “During last year's comprehensive audit of Yonghyeon Nonghyup, I learned that they produce tofu, soy sauce, and doenjang using soybeans grown by the cooperative members,” adding, “I decided to use these products with the hope of helping our cooperative members even a little.”

He added, “I hope that by promoting these as encouragement gifts for outstanding employees during comprehensive audits, more customers will use them, which will help increase farmers' income.”

The soybean processed products produced by Yonghyeon Nonghyup include tofu, soy sauce, doenjang, and soybean pulp powder. They are sold at places such as the Changwon Nonghyup Gyeongnam Regional Headquarters Local Food Store.
