Jeollanam-do is set to enhance its technological capabilities to expand the production of Jeonnam Gim, which has been recognized worldwide.

On the 18th, Jeollanam-do signed a memorandum of understanding for the development of land-based Gim aquaculture technology with Goheung-gun, Daesang Co., Ltd., and Hana Susan.

The main contents of the agreement include ▲ research and development for the advancement of land-based Gim aquaculture technology ▲ specialized education and training of professionals in land-based Gim aquaculture ▲ establishment of a platform to create demand markets for land-based Gim aquaculture.

The agreement aims to promote mutual cooperation for the successful implementation of the research and development (R&D) project "Sustainable Production of Superior Gim Seeds and Development of Land-Based Aquaculture Technology," organized by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.

In February, Goheung-gun, Daesang Co., Ltd., and Hana Susan formed a consortium and applied to participate in the R&D project.

To maintain its reputation as the nation’s largest producer of raw Gim and to secure future aquaculture technologies in advance, Jeollanam-do, together with Goheung-gun and Hana Susan, participated in and was selected for a public project to foster eco-friendly aquaculture last year.

The eco-friendly integrated land-based Gim and shrimp aquaculture facility is being promoted with the goal of completion this year, and it is expected to create a synergy effect when linked with this R&D project.

Meanwhile, Jeollanam-do is actively cooperating with cities, counties, research institutes, and companies wishing to participate in the mass cultivation of suitable land-based Gim species and the development of land-based aquaculture system technology, in order to be selected for the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries R&D project.
