Hana Food Co., Ltd. is a company that processes and packages chicken parts. After its establishment in 2007, the company relocated its factory to Pocheon in 2015 and currently operates its subsidiaries, Hana FD Co., Ltd. Plant 1 and Plant 2, in Chuncheon. CEO Lee Jongwoo requested support from the city, stating, "The cost burden of operating our own wastewater treatment facility is significant."
Korea Hwaseong Industry develops and produces eco-friendly functional fertilizers and disinfectants and is recognized as an excellent company for exporting to India. CEO Choi Jaewon explained, "Silicate fertilizer is effective in reducing diseases and pests in fruit crops such as grapes. I hope it will be distributed to farms in Pocheon," and expressed his gratitude by adding, "The issue of illegal parking near our company was also resolved thanks to the prompt action by Pocheon City."

Baek Younghyun, mayor of Pocheon, said, "Since wastewater management is a common challenge in the food industry, we will look for solutions by referring to cases from other local governments," and added, "We will also actively review ways to utilize silicate fertilizer in consultation with the grape growers' association."
He continued, "Visiting business sites in person and listening to their voices is the beginning of communication-focused administration," and added, "We will continue to spare no effort in supporting the joint growth of businesses and the local community."
