Geochang County Begins Registration of Fresh Apple as Hometown Love Donation Reward Item

Prepare Chuseok Gifts with Geochang Apples

Geochang County in Gyeongnam began offering freshly harvested Hongro apples from the 2024 season as return gifts for the Hometown Love Donation Program on July 2.

Geochang apples, a representative local specialty, ranked first among return gifts offered through the Hometown Love Donation Program in Geochang County last year, generating sales of 37.34 million KRW. This not only increased income for local farmers but also provided donors with delicious apples at reasonable prices.

In particular, among all goods offered as return gifts in Gyeongnam Province (excluding local gift certificates), Geochang apples accounted for the highest return gift amount.

Geochang apples as return gifts for the Hometown Love Donation Program are provided by four companies, offering a wide variety of products ranging from gift sets for Chuseok to apples for everyday consumption at home. Considering the large number of 100,000 KRW donors, a 30,000 KRW product option is also available.

In addition to Geochang apples, processed apple products such as apple juice, apple honey bread, and apple butter are also available as return gifts, making up a total of 38 different options to meet the diverse needs of donors.

County Governor Koo Inmo said, "There is hardly anyone who does not know the reputation of Geochang apples, one of the five major apple-producing regions in Korea," and added, "I hope you will prepare Chuseok gifts with Geochang apples through the Hometown Love Donation Program."

Meanwhile, Geochang is one of the top five apple-producing regions in Korea and accounts for half of the apple production in Gyeongnam Province. With its ideal climate and environmental conditions for apple cultivation, Geochang apples are renowned for their high sugar content, firm flesh, and excellent quality.
