Shinsegae Food Signs MOU with Sinan-gun for Onion Business... "Supporting Regional Agricultural Advancement"

Agreement to Promote Distribution of Mechanically Harvested Onions
Improving Marketability and Activating Distribution Channels by 2026
Committed to Social Responsibility Including Securing Agricultural Product Distribution Routes

Shinsegae Food is actively stepping up support for the advancement of local agriculture.

On the 14th, Shinsegae Food announced that it signed a business agreement on the 13th at the Sinan County Office in Jeollanam-do with Sinan County to promote mechanization projects for onions and enhance brand image through win-win cooperation. Through this agreement, Shinsegae Food and Sinan County will expand the mechanization projects for onions produced in Sinan County and actively cooperate to improve the quality, distribution, sales, and promotion of agricultural products.

This agreement comes from Shinsegae Food’s recognition of the need to improve work convenience and reduce labor when cultivating field crops such as onions to foster agriculture as a future growth industry. Shinsegae Food plans to improve the quality and storability of onions produced through mechanization projects in Sinan County by March 2026 to enhance marketability, activate ton bag distribution, discover excellent farms, and carry out various activities.

To expand the distribution of Sinan County onions, Shinsegae Food will actively use them as raw materials for its products and provide a stable distribution network for Sinan County onions. Through this, it aims to establish a foundation for the stable growth of local agriculture and enhance the product brand image.

A Shinsegae Food official said, “Unlike rice farming, field crops require a lot of manpower during cultivation, so research and development to improve efficiency through mechanization is actively underway. Through this MOU with Sinan County, we will improve the efficiency of onion production and distribution and fulfill our corporate social responsibility to ensure the sustainable development of local agriculture.”
