Hongseong County Gains Momentum for Global Strawberry Marketing

Selected for the Smart Export Specialized Complex Project

Hongsung County has been selected for the "Smart Export Specialized Complex" construction project, aiming to establish a stable production foundation for new strawberry varieties.

Hongseong County in South Chungcheong Province has been selected for the Smart Export Specialized Complex project.

Through this selection, the county will not only secure a stable production base for new strawberry varieties, but also gain momentum for global strawberry marketing initiatives.

Hongju Arihyang Farming Association Corporation, the project operator, plans to develop an export complex centered on the 'Arihyang' and 'Pink Candy' varieties that will meet the quarantine standards of importing countries through this project.

The main components of the project include the construction of two dedicated export seedling nurseries and twelve cultivation greenhouses (KRW 750 million), as well as the introduction of seven types of smart farm core equipment, including ICT convergence facilities (KRW 225 million).

The county plans to digitalize the entire process from production to cold-chain distribution, aiming to establish a premium export system capable of producing high-quality, standardized products regardless of climate conditions.

Kwon Youngran, Director of the Agricultural Policy Division, stated, "This project selection is the result of external recognition for the excellence and differentiated export competitiveness of Hongseong's new strawberry varieties. We will do our utmost to establish a solid export foundation enabling local farmers to demonstrate their capabilities in overseas markets, thereby increasing farm income and ensuring the sustainable development of regional agriculture."
