Kim Jangho, Mayor of Gumi, stated, "Through cooperation with the Guam government and strategic partnerships with local hotel groups, I hope that Gumi agricultural food 'G-Food' will establish itself stably in the Guam market and raise its recognition as a global brand. We will continue to provide administrative support so that local companies can remain competitive in overseas markets."
