On this day, the city provided high-quality strawberry cultivation technology education and strawberry pest and disease control technology education to the export farms, urged compliance with pesticide management and ripening control, and reaffirmed its commitment to securing overseas market channels through collaboration.

Miryang Nonghyup emphasized the importance of minimizing claims to the export farms, explained the early implementation of safety inspections for exports in the second half of the year, and once again urged proper sorting methods and delivery procedures.

Ha Yang-sang, Director of the Agricultural Technology Center, said, "We will continue to spare no effort in on-site support activities and efforts to secure new overseas markets so that the reputation of Miryang strawberries can be known worldwide."
