Hoengseong-gun signed an MOU with smart farm companies
On September 29th, Hoengseong-gun, AgriCore, and the agricultural corporation AgriWon signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to advance the Agricultural Product Distribution Center (APC Center) and smart farm development projects.
Under the agreement, AgriCore will be responsible for establishing the business plan and securing funding, while AgriWon will oversee the implementation and operation of the project.
The investing companies will invest a total of KRW 40 billion in the 89,191㎡ site in Sangdae-ri, Ucheon-myeon, to build the APC Center and smart farm facilities, including Venlo-type connected greenhouses and airhouses.
In particular, strawberries, the main product, will be directly grown in the smart farm facilities, and agricultural products purchased from local farms will be sorted, stored in a cold environment, packaged, and distributed through the APC Center before being supplied to large supermarkets.
Hoengseong-gun will provide administrative support to assist with the project.
The mayor of Hoengseong-gun stated, "This agreement marks an important starting point for the future of Hoengseong's agriculture," and added, "Through mutually beneficial cooperation with businesses, we will increase farm incomes, create jobs, and revitalize the local economy."
