According to the county on the 27th, Damyang-gun achieved remarkable results in this year's agricultural evaluations hosted by Jeollanam-do, including the ‘Excellence Award’ in the Comprehensive Agricultural Policy Evaluation, ‘Best Institution’ in the Comprehensive Livestock Policy Evaluation, ‘Excellence Award’ in the Eco-friendly Agriculture Grand Prize, and ‘Excellence Award’ in the Agricultural Food Distribution Evaluation.

In particular, Damyang-gun received the Excellence Award in the agricultural policy evaluation, which covers 33 items across six fields such as revitalization of agriculture and rural areas, promotion of eco-friendly agriculture, and production of food and horticultural crops, recognizing the overall achievements of its agricultural policies.

These accomplishments are attributed to concentrated investment in the agricultural budget since the 8th popularly elected administration, as well as systematic policy implementation and cooperation from local farmers.

Next year, we will continue to do our best for sustainable agricultural development and increased farm income.”
