Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam and Hyundai Wia held the agricultural products market 'Eum Market' at the Hyundai Wia headquarters located in Changwon City, connecting local farmers and consumers.

This event was organized as part of a social contribution activity to promote the consumption of local agricultural products.

Changwon Special City and Hyundai Wia Lead Social Contribution Activities for Local Farms.

The event held on the 9th saw participation from 20 farms, mainly young farmers in their 30s and 40s. The market featured representative local crops such as tomatoes, apple watermelons, and Yanggu melons, as well as persimmon sandwiches and chili bread awarded in last year's 'Top 5 Agricultural Products Dessert' contest. Urban agriculture experiences, which are highly popular among city residents, also added variety to the event.

In particular, the opportunity to purchase at reasonable prices attracted continuous visits from Hyundai Wia employees, creating a bustling atmosphere. Moreover, since most participating farms were run by young farmers newly venturing into agriculture, it was a meaningful event that provided a great opportunity to introduce high-quality agricultural products to consumers, resulting in a win-win situation for both farmers and consumers.

Kim Jonghaek, Director of the Agricultural Technology Center, said, “We appreciate Hyundai Wia’s interest and support for agriculture and rural areas. We will do our best to provide administrative support so that companies can grow together with the local community and resume social contribution activities to revitalize the local economy.”
