Since 2003, the Jeonnam Top 10 High-Quality Brand Rice has been selected through a strict blind evaluation process. Jeollanam-do conducts preliminary assessments across 22 cities and counties and selects 15 brands for the final evaluation.

In this evaluation, Muan Hwangtorang Rice, cultivated in reclaimed land rich in germanium, was highly rated not only for its grain quality but also for its excellent taste.

Kim Kwang-hyuk, head of Nonghyup Grain Co., Ltd. Muan branch, emphasized, “Hwangtorang Rice has been equipped with perfect GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) facilities through renovations supported by Muan-gun to meet GAP standards. We strictly adhere to the principle of ‘milling and shipping on the same day,’ so we are confident in its quality.”

Seo Myung-ho, Director of Agricultural Policy, stated, “We will actively support communication and cooperation with the cultivating farmers and the comprehensive rice processing center so that Hwangtorang Rice can grow beyond a representative Jeonnam brand to become the best brand nationwide.”
