This event, co-hosted by the National Council of Governors of Rural Areas and the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, was organized to address local extinction and promote sustainable regional development. It showcased representative agricultural and specialty products from 37 member counties nationwide. Yangpyeong County also participated in this win-win event, where local farmers and consumers came together.


Prior to the event, a win-win cooperation agreement (MOU) was signed between the National Council of Governors of Rural Areas and the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation to innovate agricultural distribution and promote the development of rural areas. The agreement laid the foundation for progress through joint cooperation for balanced and win-win development, expanding sales channels for local agricultural and specialty products, and promoting direct transactions.


During the opening ceremony, the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the presidents of the National Council of Governors of Rural Areas symbolically expressed hope for the regions by participating in the "Sowing the Seeds of Solutions to Local Extinction" performance.


Yangpyeong County declared its "Attractive Yangpyeong" vision, focusing on four core keywords: tourism, safety, environment, and health. The county expressed its commitment to improving the quality of life for residents and achieving a sustainable Yangpyeong, even in the face of the local extinction crisis.



Governor Jeon Jinseon stated, "This agreement ceremony and direct sales event have become a starting point for mutual growth, where the value of rural areas meets urban demand. As vice president of the council, I will do my part to lead the sustainable development of rural areas and ensure that the region can grow together."
