October 15th every year is the "World Women Farmers' Day" established by the United Nations (UN) in 2007 to highlight the role and contribution of women in rural areas.
Hongcheon County has been holding annual commemorative events since 2022 to boost the morale and pride of women farmers and contribute to making Hongcheon a women-friendly city.

The event featured a variety of activities, including awards for outstanding women farmers, performances to promote local agricultural products, recreation, experience and exhibition programs, and a prize draw.
The "Promotion of Our Potatoes Consumption Performance," introduced for the first time this year, was held to protect the value of local agricultural products and encourage consumption in response to the spread of GMO potatoes, and to publicize the excellence of "Hongcheon Our Potatoes."
Kim Myeong-gi, the mayor of Hongcheon County, said, "I deeply appreciate the hard work of women farmers who have been quietly supporting the community in the agricultural sector" and "I hope this event will be a meaningful occasion for improving the status of women farmers and achieving gender equality in agriculture and rural areas."
