Yongin City Holds Special Agricultural Product Exhibition at Lotte Department Store Nowon Branch

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun Reporter] Yongin City announced that it will hold a 'special planning exhibition' selling locally produced agricultural processed products and flowering plants at the event hall on the 4th floor of Lotte Department Store's Nowon branch until April 11.

The event is being held for the fifth consecutive year, organized through a business partnership between the city and Lotte Department Store to showcase the quality of processed products and flowering plants produced in the region.

At this event, 110 varieties of products processed or packaged by the Yongin Agricultural Products Processing Support Center and flowering plants are expected to meet consumers.

A total of 12 businesses will participate, an increase of 4 companies compared to last year.

Along with Mimi Salon's grain shake and Farmer's Dream's spicy rice syrup, which received positive feedback from consumers last year as unique products, the exhibition will newly introduce New Moon Farm's omija fruit syrup, Black Health's black goat extract, and Asuri Farm Association's sesame oil and perilla oil.

Visitors to the event venue can sample or taste the products.

Customers who purchase 5,000,000 won or more will receive 'Yongin's Soban,' a strawberry jam from Yongin City's agricultural products processing joint brand.

A city official stated, "We organized this special planning exhibition for farmers facing difficulties in sales due to COVID-19," and added, "We hope many consumers will visit so we can pursue mutual growth with farmers."

Meanwhile, last year the city held four special planning exhibitions and achieved sales of approximately 113 million won.
