Sangju, the Home of Sambaek, Holds First Rice Transplanting of "Misojinpoom"

Sangju City in North Gyeongsang Province carried out the season's first rice transplanting of the "Misojinpoom" variety in the Doan-ri area of Moseo-myeon on April 27.

Misojinpoom is highly resistant to diseases and pests and offers yields comparable to other high-yield rice varieties.

It is a rice variety that ranked first in a nationwide consumer taste test, and starting from 2025, it has been selected as a procurement variety for the city's public rice stockpiling program. As such, it is now recognized as Sangju City's representative rice variety.

An official from Sangju City stated, "We will actively encourage farmers to participate in the government's rice production adjustment program, a policy initiative designed to stabilize rice prices and production volumes. In addition, we will support stable farm management for rice growers by providing timely guidance on rice transplanting to ensure the production of high-quality rice."
