Uiryeong County Signs MOU with Mojandeul and Jeonju Bean Sprout Agricultural Cooperatives

Expansion of Sales Channels for Namul Soybeans from Uiryeong
Strengthening Cooperation Among Producers, Consumers, and Local Government

Uiryeong County in South Gyeongsang Province announced on December 1 that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on November 28 in the conference room on the second floor of the county office with Jeonju Bean Sprout Agricultural Cooperative Corporation and Mojandeul Agricultural Cooperative Corporation. The agreement aims to establish a stable production and supply system for Namul soybeans produced in Uiryeong.

This agreement is intended to support soybean farmers who have faced difficulties due to price fluctuations and a lack of consumer outlets. It is particularly significant as Uiryeong County has taken the initiative to secure sales channels and achieved tangible results. With the establishment of a stable sales foundation, the competitiveness of this regional strategic crop is expected to be further strengthened.

Approximately ten people attended the signing ceremony, including County Mayor Oh Taewan, Yang Donghyeok, head of Jeonju Bean Sprout Agricultural Cooperative Corporation, and Lee Chunghui, CEO of Mojandeul Agricultural Cooperative Corporation.

The parties agreed to: ▲ expand and stabilize the supply and shipments of Namul soybeans produced in Uiryeong; ▲ provide technical support and broaden sales channels to improve quality; and ▲ strengthen collaboration across production, processing, and distribution sectors.

Going forward, the county plans to shift the distribution structure toward contract-based farming, thereby reducing the risk of price fluctuations and directly connecting production areas with consumption sites to ease logistical burdens.

In particular, cooperation with Jeonju Bean Sprout Agricultural Cooperative Corporation, which has secured large consumer outlets, is expected to accelerate the expansion of cultivation areas. In the future, administrative burdens related to supply and demand adjustments in response to market changes are also expected to decrease.

County Mayor Oh Taewan stated, "Through this agreement, we will enhance the quality and competitiveness of Namul soybeans produced in Uiryeong and stabilize farmers' incomes," adding, "We will build a sustainable distribution system in which producers, consumers, and local governments can thrive together."
