The Buan Local Food new income 'Cherry' cultivation project is a program that supports 70% of the sapling purchase cost for food plan participating farms, based on a shipment agreement with Buan Local Food, aiming to increase the shipment volume of cherries suitable for the Buan area in response to recent climate change.

As a preliminary step for cherry cultivation, the county conducted three sessions of education and visits to leading farms for food plan production farms from last year until early this month. This sapling support project plans to provide one tree per 10 pyeong (33㎡) to applicants who completed the education and expressed demand during the food plan shipping farm survey.

From mid-March, when cherry saplings are planted, experts will be invited to provide on-site consulting and education on the entire growth process, including field management, pest and disease control, and fertilization management. Continuous support will be provided for high-quality cherry production through advanced farm visit education and more.

Lee Chang-hak, Director of the Rural Vitality Division, stated, "We will do our best to increase consumer satisfaction by diversifying and enriching the shipment of fruit trees at the local food direct store, and to discover and support various fruit trees suitable for the Buan area."
