Director Ryu Jong-ryeol said, “Hadong is an area with many small-scale farms, and upon hearing that the Daebong persimmon harvest has significantly decreased due to anthracnose and abnormal climate conditions, we decided to assist the small farms by helping with the harvest.”

“Daebong persimmons are known to be rich in vitamin C and various antioxidants, which are beneficial for antioxidant effects,” he added. “In particular, Hadong Daebong persimmons are produced in areas at the foot of Jirisan with large temperature differences between day and night, making them especially delicious,” he said, urging consumers to make good use of them.
