Chairman Hwang is a pioneer of eco-friendly agriculture, having established a 17-hectare eco-friendly rice cultivation complex in Donghae-myeon in 2007 and obtained organic certification, leading the production of high-quality eco-friendly rice.


He actively promoted the spread of eco-friendly agriculture while serving as the secretary-general of the Goseong-gun Eco-friendly Agriculture Association (2016?2019) and as its chairman (2020?2021). Since 2022, he has expanded his role as the chairman of the Gyeongsangnam-do Eco-friendly Agriculture Association.


In particular, Chairman Hwang played a significant role in Goseong-gun being selected as the best institution for three consecutive years (2018?2020) in the ‘Gyeongsangnam-do Eco-friendly Ecological Agriculture Promotion Award.’ Since taking office as chairman of the Gyeongsangnam-do Eco-friendly Agriculture Association in 2022, the Gyeongnam Eco-friendly Cooperative Business Group was selected as a supplier for school meals in Seoul and the Gyeonggi area, greatly contributing to expanding sales channels to the 10 billion KRW range annually.



Chairman Hwang said, “I sparked the wind of eco-friendly agriculture in Goseong, and now I am stirring the wind of eco-friendly agriculture throughout Gyeongnam. I am constantly thinking and reflecting at this very moment to foster sustainable eco-friendly agriculture, and I will strive to produce healthy food and pass on a healthy planet to future generations.”
