During the expo, Yeoju City operated a promotional booth centered on providing consultations, offering practical information to prospective return-to-farm residents about the actual process of returning to farming, various subsidy programs, and loan support projects.

The promotional booth attracted visitors from a wide range of age groups, including both young people and middle-aged and older adults, who asked questions about Yeoju’s agricultural policies, representative crops for return-to-farm residents, and local living infrastructure. The city actively promoted its strengths as an urban-rural complex city, highlighting both its accessibility to urban areas and its strong agricultural base. In addition, a special event sharing “Daewangnimpyo Yeoju Rice,” Yeoju’s signature local specialty, captivated the attention of visitors.

An official from Yeoju City stated, “We will make every effort to ensure that prospective return-to-farm residents can confidently choose Yeoju, through on-site promotional activities and practical support policies.”
