[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-ju] Muan County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 9th that it held an excellent agricultural products exchange and sales event with its sister city Seongju County to expand non-face-to-face agricultural product distribution and revitalize the local economy, which has been stagnant due to COVID-19.

This event was conducted in the form of distributing pre-ordered quantities from employees of both organizations to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and for quarantine measures. Muan County sent 321 boxes of 5kg sweet potatoes and ice sweet potatoes to Seongju, while Seongju County sent 392 boxes of 2kg and 5kg chamoe melons to Muan County.

Since establishing a sister city relationship in 2013, Muan County and Seongju County have promoted each county's representative agricultural products through steady exchanges of agricultural specialties. Through this event, high-quality agricultural products could be purchased at affordable prices, receiving positive responses from both producers and consumers.

Governor Kim San said, “We will continue to strengthen the cooperative network with our sister city and expand non-face-to-face agricultural product sales events between affiliated organizations to do our best to overcome difficulties together during these challenging times caused by COVID-19.”
