South Chungcheong Province Opens 'Nonsan-Gyeryong Smart Livestock Auction Market' with 4 Billion Won Investment

Enhancing Transparency and Efficiency in Livestock Distribution
Boosting Farmers' Income Expected

On September 19, South Chungcheong Province completed the construction of the 'Nonsan-Gyeryong Livestock Cooperative Smart Livestock Auction Market' in Bujeok-myeon, Nonsan City, and officially began its operation.

This project was carried out to modernize the aging existing auction house, aiming to improve both safety and convenience.

With a total project cost of 4 billion won (including provincial, municipal, and private contributions), this facility was built on a 29,933-square-meter site with a building area of 2,990 square meters, and can accommodate a total of 464 head of cattle, including 100 adult cattle and 364 calves.

In particular, the introduction of the latest smart auction system and management facilities is expected to enhance transparency and efficiency in transactions, while also reducing farmers' waiting times and improving productivity.

This marks the third smart livestock auction market in the province, following Gongju and Yesan, and is expected to significantly strengthen the distribution competitiveness and increase the income of livestock farmers.

An official from the provincial government stated, "This livestock auction market is not just a facility, but a turning point for the sustainable development of the local livestock industry. Through the operation of the smart system, we will support increased productivity for Korean cattle farmers and ensure transparency in transaction prices, thereby boosting farmers' income."
