The Gyeongnam branch of the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service (Head of the branch Baek Un-hwal, hereinafter referred to as Gyeongnam Agricultural Products Quality Management Service) held a field communication meeting at the office of the Korea Strawberry Export Integrated Organization (K-BERRY) two days ago, ahead of the full-scale strawberry export season, together with the representative of K-BERRY and the farmers affiliated with the Korea Strawberry Export Producers Association. The Gyeongnam Agricultural Products Quality Management Service had promised close cooperation regarding agricultural product export safety management when concluding a business agreement with K-BERRY last year. Additionally, in June, through the Gyeongnam Export Support Council, they had listened to the main on-site concerns of exporting farmers. This field meeting was held in response to the recent record-breaking heavy rains and successive heatwaves causing the crops to wither.
