Orion announced on the 31st that it donated agricultural machinery worth 120 million KRW, including potato harvesters and cultivators, to farms in Dangjin and Yesan, Chungcheongnam-do, and Haenam, Jeollanam-do.

This is part of the "Oh! Potato" program, which supports agricultural machinery to increase the income of domestic potato farms. Previously, the agricultural machinery support project that Orion has been conducting for three years since 2022 is a social contribution program that helps increase the income of domestic potato farms by improving productivity. Over three years, a total of 250 million KRW worth of agricultural machinery has been provided. Along with this, snack treats worth about 7 million KRW are also provided annually to local children's centers. This year, the target area has been expanded from the existing Dangjin and Haenam to include Yesan.

Orion guarantees stable income through contract farming with excellent potato farms every year and provides consumers with high-quality potato snacks. This year as well, Orion plans to contract with about 320 potato farms nationwide and use approximately 15,000 tons of domestically grown potatoes for the production of Poca Chips and Swing Chips.

An Orion official stated, "We are engaged in various win-win activities, from developing new potato varieties to spreading advanced cultivation techniques and providing free agricultural machinery support," adding, "We plan to contribute to increasing farm income while securing high-quality potato raw materials stably, thereby providing consumers with delicious and high-quality products."
