Jangseong County Signs Seasonal Worker Agreement and Partners with Mongolia for Agricultural Exports

Business Agreements Signed with Jargalant and Ulziit Counties in Khentii Province
Export Deal Worth 1 Million Dollars Also Concluded

Jangseong County in Jeollanam-do has strengthened its international cooperation by signing agreements with Mongolia regarding the dispatch of foreign seasonal workers and the export of local agricultural products. On the 25th, Jangseong County announced that it had recently visited Mongolia and signed business agreements with Jargalant and Ulziit counties for the additional dispatch of seasonal workers, thereby expanding the foundation for resolving labor shortages in rural areas.

The county had already signed agreements related to seasonal workers with four counties in the Khentii province of Mongolia in April 2023, and with this new agreement, the recruitment of seasonal workers is expected to accelerate.

Jangseong County in Jeollanam-do recently signed an export agreement worth 1 million dollars with a Mongolian distribution company.

The path for exporting agricultural specialty products has also opened. Jangseong County signed an export agreement with the Mongolian distribution company 'Gegen Undur Gemsed' for 26 items, amounting to about 1 million dollars (approximately 1.3 billion KRW). The agreement includes a variety of products such as fruits, frozen foods, and snacks.

A promotional event for agricultural specialty products from Jangseong was also held at 'Khunnu Mall,' the largest multi-purpose shopping mall in Mongolia. At the event, products such as frozen gimbap, fruits, and snacks received positive responses from local consumers. In addition, the county organized a business meeting between agricultural food companies from Jangseong and Mongolian buyers to explore the possibility of entering the local market.

There will also be continued exchanges in agricultural technology. Jangseong County signed an agreement with the Mongolian University of Life Sciences, establishing a foundation for Mongolian university students to acquire advanced agricultural technology in Jangseong. Both sides plan to continue promoting education and training programs in the future.

Kim Hanjong, the county governor, stated, "Through this visit to Mongolia, we have not only secured additional seasonal workers but also laid the groundwork for expanding exports of local agricultural products," adding, "We will strengthen cooperation with the Mongolian government to create a mutually beneficial model of international exchange."
