[Agricultural and Fisheries News=Reporter Ju Sang-ho] The Gimhae Jinyeong Persimmon Festival Committee (Chairman Gil Pan-geun, President of Gyeongnam Persimmon Horticultural Farmers Cooperative) successfully held the 41st Gimhae Jinyeong Persimmon Festival, which went beyond a simple agricultural festival to become a place of harmony where citizens and townsfolk come together and an event that widely promotes the region's culture and values. The 41st Gimhae Jinyeong Persimmon Festival, which began last month on the 31st, concluded successfully after three days at Jinyeong Public Stadium. Starting as the "Jinyeong Persimmon Festival" in 1985, the Gimhae Jinyeong Persimmon Festival, now in its 41st year, is the first persimmon festival in the country and is held in Jinyeong-eup, a persimmon cultivation area, representing the region.
