The city believes that the growing preference for fresh and safe local food, which is a recent trend in food consumption, and the establishment of a healthy direct trading distribution structure that benefits both local food producers and consumers, are taking root in the region.

According to Yangsan City, since the opening of the temporary local food direct sales market, the number of visitors (buyers) has reached about 12,000 (an average of 270 per day), and sales have reached approximately 200 million KRW, generating an average daily sales of 4.5 million KRW. The resulting increase in income for local farms is expected to reach 180 million KRW, and the number of registered consumer members has also exceeded 1,000.

Such achievements were made possible thanks to the continuous efforts of small and medium-sized farmers participating in the establishment of a multi-item, small-quantity production planning system centered on the Yangsan City Rural New Vitality Plus Project, as well as the dedication of Yangsan City officials, all aimed at providing fresh and safe food to Yangsan citizens.

An official from Yangsan City stated, "Currently, about 330 items produced by around 200 farms are shipped and sold at the direct sales market. To ensure consumers can trust their purchases, we maintain freshness by labeling producers and setting display sales periods for each item, and we build consumer trust by conducting safety inspections such as residual pesticide detection."
