Gyeongnam Nonghyup Secures Competitiveness through K-Agricultural Products Integrated Support Project

Agricultural and Food Export Level-Up Advancement Rally ... Resolution to Achieve 120 Million USD

On the 30th, Gyeongnam Nonghyup held the 2024 Agricultural Food Export Level-Up Advancement Conference in the large conference room on the 2nd floor of the Nonghyup Gyeongnam Headquarters, with about 30 participants including 23 export specialized organizations under Gyeongnam Nonghyup, Gyeongsangnam-do, aT Gyeongnam Headquarters, and the Agricultural Food Export Department of Nonghyup Economic Holdings.

The event included an analysis of the export status of Gyeongnam Nonghyup, sharing the 2024 Nonghyup export promotion direction, and explanations on Gyeongsangnam-do’s export support policies responding to the abolition of export logistics costs and government (aT) export support projects, followed by active discussions on ways to strengthen export competitiveness.

Despite difficult export conditions such as increased export costs due to global inflation, deteriorating profitability of export farms caused by the prolonged depreciation of the Japanese yen, and decreased export price competitiveness due to the abolition of export logistics cost support, this year Gyeongnam Nonghyup resolved to achieve $120 million in agricultural food exports and decided to focus on revitalizing exports.
