Gyeongnam Province's Hadong Green Tea District has been recognized as the best in the country for the rural convergence industrial district creation project by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. The project aims to increase the added value of agriculture and revitalize the local economy by bringing together primary, secondary, and tertiary industries. The district received high marks for its eco-friendly and automated tea plantation, new distribution networks, and the creation of a green tea healing zone, which increased visitors and job opportunities. Cities and provinces with districts that received a score of 90 or above, like Hadong Green Tea District, will receive additional points in the selection of new rural convergence industrial districts next year.
