Participants shared the latest cultivation techniques and region-specific best practices from the agricultural field, exploring ways to strengthen the capabilities of young farmers.

Lee Heejong, Director of the Cheorwon County Agricultural Technology Center, said, "I hope this exchange will strengthen the friendship between the two regional 4-H associations and contribute to the development of agricultural technology," adding, "We will continue to expand support and exchange for young farmers in the future."

Meanwhile, the Cheorwon County 4-H Association and the Seogwipo City 4-H Association have maintained their friendship for 25 years since forming a sisterhood on November 29, 2000, continuously promoting and supporting the sale of local agricultural products such as Cheorwon Odae rice and Jeju tangerines produced in each region.
