(Korea Agricultural News=Reporter Hyun-wook Park) The Seoul Metropolitan Agricultural Products Corporation is helping local farmers facing difficulties due to sluggish rice consumption and weak prices by purchasing 400 bags of organic rice from Yangpyeong County and delivering them to welfare facilities. This is a form of social contribution that opens up sales channels for the farmers and provides healthy food to the vulnerable. The Seoul Metropolitan Agricultural Products Corporation (President Moon Young-pyo) announced on the 16th that it purchased 400 bags of rice produced by organic farmers in Yangpyeong County, Gyeonggi Province, and delivered them to the welfare facilities Shinawon and Seoul Flower Village Love House. The purpose of this support is to help farmers who are struggling with recent economic stagnation, reduced consumption, and prolonged weak rice prices. The Corporation explained that the significance of this initiative lies not just in simple donations, but in directly purchasing local agricultural products to help farmers secure substantial sales channels. The rice delivered will be used to ensure the dietary stability of the vulnerable living in the two welfare facilities. The Corporation plans to provide safe and healthy food to neighbors in welfare blind spots, contributing to the resolution of nutritional imbalances. Notably, this event is being highlighted as a model of public institution social contribution where the countryside and the city coexist and benefit each other. It is a method that expands the consumer base for farmers and provides stable food support to welfare facilities. It is evaluated as going beyond one-time aid to simultaneously promote agricultural product consumption and support the vulnerable. President Moon Young-pyo of the Corporation said, "This donation event will be an opportunity to convey real hope to our farmers and share warm affection with neighbors in welfare blind spots. Moving forward, we will continue to provide multifaceted support to lead urban-rural coexistence and fulfill our social responsibility as a public corporation."
