Goheung County Invites You to Receive a Yuzu Tree

Recruitment of Participants for the Yujanamu Distribution Event

Goheung County in South Jeolla Province, the largest yuzu-producing region in Korea, announced that it is recruiting participants for the "2026 Goheung Yujanamu Distribution Event" to promote the excellence of yuzu, a local specialty, and to raise awareness of regional culture.

The Yujanamu Distribution Event is an urban-rural experience program designed to foster empathy between city and rural residents. Participants select their own yuzu tree, attach a name tag, and harvest the fruit themselves during the harvest season. The program will be held in Yangri Village, Pungyang-myeon, where the Goheung Yuzu Festival takes place.

City residents who wish to participate in the distribution of yuzu trees can apply by the end of May through the QR code posted in the notices section on the website of the Goheung Agricultural Technology Center.

The price for distributing a single yuzu tree is 60,000 won per tree, which includes fresh yuzu fruit and the participation fee for the experience program.

Notably, this event has been designated as a reward for donations of 200,000 won or more to the 2026 Goheung County Hometown Love Donation Program, allowing participation through donations as well. This is expected to contribute to local collaboration and the spread of donation culture.

An official from the county's Agricultural Technology Center stated, "We hope that urban residents will be able to experience the quality and charm of Goheung yuzu firsthand through the Yujanamu Distribution Event," adding, "We will continue to promote various programs that enhance the competitiveness of local agricultural products and help increase farm household income."

Meanwhile, over the past three years, from 2023 to 2025, approximately 1,300 people participated in the Yujanamu Distribution Event, experiencing Goheung yuzu and creating special memories.
