(Wando = Yonhap News) Reporter Jo Geun-young = Jeollanam-do Wando-gun begins to develop excellent varieties of wood ear mushrooms. The county plans to develop new varieties of wood ear mushrooms by investing 150 million won in project costs received through public offering projects such as the Korea Forest Service. Wood ear mushrooms have excellent texture and good storability, so the distribution volume is continuously increasing. However, more than 95% of the distribution volume in Korea is from China. The military plans to establish a stable production system by developing excellent domestic varieties to replace imports. The military plans to respond to various national research projects by 2023 to lay the foundation for the growth engine of the local mushroom industry and the future food industry. Director Lee Bok-seon of the Wando-gun Agricultural Technology Center said on the 20th, "We will do our best to contribute to the improvement of the competitiveness of the military mushroom industry and increase the income of farmers by participating in various national research projects and supplying new varieties to farms." chogy@yna.co.kr 2022/01/20 09:48 Sent
