Yeongju City Holds the '29th Farmers' Day Commemoration Ceremony'

Encouraging Farmers' Hard Work, Informing Citizens About the Value of Agriculture

The Gyeongbuk Yeongju City Agricultural Association (Nongdanhyeop) held the 29th Farmers' Day ceremony on the 1st, with over 1,000 local farmers and participants, to honor and encourage the dedication of local farmers who worked hard throughout the year to produce safe food.

Unlike previous years, this event was held on the main stage of the festival site to coincide with the '2024 Yeongju Market Agricultural Specialties Grand Festival,' which takes place from the 1st to the 3rd at the Seocheon Munjeong Riverside.

Park Nam-seo, mayor of Yeongju City, is visiting the agricultural specialty product sales booth to offer encouragement.

The ceremony included various pre-event activities linked to the festival opening, an award ceremony recognizing 21 proud farmers who contributed to the development of Yeongju agriculture, and a promotional performance for local agricultural specialties.

Additionally, during the grand festival, Nongdanhyeop will promote high-quality local agricultural products to festival visitors through agricultural product exhibitions and tasting events, as well as various agricultural experience programs that families and visitors of all ages can enjoy.

Kim Bomuk, president of Nongdanhyeop, said, “I am honored to hold the Farmers' Day ceremony, which reflects the passion and efforts of farmers, at the Agricultural Specialties Grand Festival site. I hope many people visit the festival and purchase plenty of healthy food directly grown by local farmers.”

Mayor Park Namseo expressed his gratitude, saying, “Despite the challenging agricultural environment caused by climate change and falling agricultural product prices, I thank the farmers for producing excellent local agricultural products through their sweat and effort. Let us all unite to create a ‘future-oriented prosperous rural community.’”
