Proactive Education to Address Climate Change
and Maintain High-Quality Chamoe Production

Sungju County (Governor Lee Byunghwan) will proactively respond to changes in the agricultural environment caused by climate change and promote the production of high-quality chamoe by conducting practical agricultural education sessions for farmers in each township. From September 1 to September 11, a total of eight sessions will be held, targeting approximately 600 farmers.

This training will focus on cultivation techniques to improve chamoe quality, with particular emphasis on addressing the sharp decline in chamoe shipments and flood-related shipments caused by abnormal weather conditions this year. The program will also cover solutions to challenges faced in the field, such as gas damage, and strategies for pest and disease control.

Sungju County stated, "We will do our utmost to actively respond to climate change and changes in the agricultural environment, and we will continue to expand practical education and policies that farmers can truly benefit from."

Meanwhile, Sungju County, the center of chamoe production in South Korea, accounts for approximately 80% of the nation’s chamoe output and serves as a key foundation for the local economy.

Through this training, Sungju County plans to maintain the production of high-quality chamoe and contribute to increasing farmers’ incomes, thereby continuing the reputation of the 'Premium Sungju Chamoe.'
