The event served as an opportunity to awaken the pride and sense of mission of livestock farmers who produce clean and eco-friendly livestock products themselves, ensuring that the nation's dining tables are protected by Gyeongnam livestock products. Eight individuals, including public officials and livestock farmers who have worked hard for the development of Gyeongnam livestock this year, were selected and commended with the Governor's Award to encourage their efforts.

At the venue, various side events were held, including a smart livestock-related promotional hall, exhibitions by livestock-related organizations, tasting sessions of excellent Gyeongnam livestock products, and distribution of Gyeongnam livestock products through a lucky draw, which helped promote the consumption of livestock products and widely publicize the excellence of local livestock products.

Kim Byung-gyu, Deputy Governor of the Province's Economic Department, said in his encouragement speech, "Recently, livestock farmers have been facing difficulties due to rising feed costs and the opening of the livestock product market," adding, "The province will also strive to strengthen the competitiveness of the livestock industry through support for smart farming and improvement of the livestock environment."

Kang Moon-gyu, Deputy Head of Gyeongnam Nonghyup, stated, "Although we face a difficult reality with increasing management costs and ongoing livestock diseases, I am confident that if all livestock farmers work together to protect the livestock industry, greater development and achievements will be made," and added, "Gyeongnam Nonghyup will also do its best to support the production of clean and safe Gyeongnam livestock products, develop sales channels, and expand exports in cooperation with the province."
