This evaluation meeting focused on introducing the achievements of pilot projects such as the dissemination of technologies to respond to climate change, strengthening agricultural work safety, and enhancing the competitiveness of local agricultural products. Participants also discussed the practical effects of each project and shared ideas for future improvements.


In particular, this year, an agricultural machinery exhibition corner was newly established for the first time, creating a more vibrant atmosphere for the event. Farmers showed great interest as they were able to directly inspect the agricultural machinery and equipment. In addition, a tasting event for pepper porridge, prepared by the Agricultural Products Processing Support Center, was held for invited guests. This provided an opportunity to sample the taste and quality of the pepper porridge firsthand, generating positive feedback on the agricultural product processing business.



Cho Yongwan, Director of the Agricultural Technology Center, stated, "As the agricultural field is rapidly changing, this was a meaningful opportunity to thoroughly review the projects carried out this year and identify areas for improvement. Next year, we will strengthen more practical technical support and customized guidance for farmers to further enhance the competitiveness of local agriculture."
