Suncheon City announced that the 41st Jeollanam-do Premier Hanwoo Competition, held at the Suncheon-Gwangyang Livestock Cooperative livestock market on November 6, concluded successfully.

He added that Suncheon City is actively pursuing various support projects to enhance the competitiveness of the livestock industry, including improving livestock odor, recycling livestock manure, and supporting the convergence of ICT in the livestock sector.
