In Haman County, the Yu Ik-dol farm, which entered the persimmon category, and the Cha Young-don farm, which entered the grape category, were selected for special awards. Each winner received a certificate and a prize of 1 million won.

County Governor Jo Geun-je expressed gratitude for the good results achieved by fruit farmers despite difficult conditions such as low temperatures during the flowering period caused by abnormal weather this year, heavy rains, and heatwaves during the harvest season.
