The Bukchangwon Agricultural Cooperative in Changwon, Gyeongnam, has started the export of persimmons to the Philippines and Singapore, with the first shipment containing approximately 47 tons. Due to damage from sunburn and anthracnose during the harvest season, this year's persimmon production is expected to decrease by over 10% compared to the average year. Additionally, the size distribution of the persimmons has been affected by heat waves, leading to a higher proportion of small and medium-sized fruits which have decreased demand.
