[Agricultural, Fisheries, and Livestock Newspaper=Reporter Park Yong-hwan] The Iksan Horticultural Farmers Cooperative of Jeonbuk (Chairman Kim Bong-hak) and the Jeonbuk Headquarters of the Agricultural Cooperative (Head Lee Jeong-hwan) recently held a shipment ceremony at the Agricultural Cooperative Regional Distribution Center to commemorate the export of this year's pears (registered) produced in the region to Vietnam. The ceremony was attended by No Hae-seong, Director of the Agricultural Cooperative Economy, An Chan-woo, Deputy Head of the Jeonbuk Headquarters of the Agricultural Cooperative, Heo Jeong-gu, Executive Director of Agricultural Cooperative Trade, and other officials, who celebrated the export achievement together. According to the Agricultural Observatory, the nationwide pear production this year was 207,000 tons, an increase of about 16% compared to last year's 178,000 tons. The pear harvest period was delayed due to high temperatures and drought in early July, pushing the Chuseok harvest season back.
