Korea Hwaseong Industry develops and produces eco-friendly functional fertilizers and disinfectants and is recognized as an excellent company for exporting to India. CEO Choi Jaewon explained, "Silicate fertilizer is effective in reducing diseases and pests in fruit crops such as grapes. I hope it will be distributed to farms in Pocheon," and expressed his gratitude by adding, "The issue of illegal parking near our company was also resolved thanks to the prompt action by Pocheon City."

He continued, "Visiting business sites in person and listening to their voices is the beginning of communication-focused administration," and added, "We will continue to spare no effort in supporting the joint growth of businesses and the local community."
