Gyeonggi Agricultural Research and Extension Services to Offer Limited Sale of Premium Rice Set 'Hanhaegyeolsil'

Gyeonggi Province will offer a limited sale of premium rice.

The Gyeonggi Agricultural Research and Extension Services announced on December 9 that it will sell a limited run of 1,000 sets of the premium rice package ‘Hanhaegyeolsil’ through ‘Market Gyeonggi,’ an online mall dedicated to agricultural, livestock, and fisheries products from the province, starting December 10.

‘Hanhaegyeolsil’ means that only the best harvest of rice produced in Gyeonggi Province this year has been selected.

Packaged as a ‘rice sampler’ that allows consumers to taste and compare small portions of top-quality rice, the set contains nine varieties that won awards at the ‘2025 Gyeonggi Rice Quality Evaluation.’ Each variety is packaged in 300g portions, totaling 2.7kg, and the set is priced at 29,900 won (shipping not included). Delivery will begin on December 15.

Premium Gyeonggi Rice 'Hanhaegyeolsil'

The Gyeonggi Agricultural Research and Extension Services has included a diverse selection of representative varieties in a single box, such as Ansan’s ‘Chamdream,’ which won the grand prize, Yongin’s ‘Cheongpum,’ which received the top award in the general category, and Hwaseong’s ‘Golden Queen No.3,’ which took the top award in the medium-glutinous category. Notably, only premium-grade rice with a ‘perfect grain’ ratio of 96% or higher-meaning no broken grains-was selected to maximize the natural flavor of cooked rice.

The ‘Gyeonggi Gourmet Guide’ included in the package serves as a ‘tabletop guide,’ providing information such as the cultivation history of each rice entry, quality indicators like protein content, expert tasting evaluations, and mini-interviews with producers.

Seong Jehun, Director of the Gyeonggi Agricultural Research and Extension Services, stated, “The ‘Hanhaegyeolsil’ package is the culmination of a year’s hard work by farmers and a testament to the excellence of Gyeonggi rice. We aim to present a new paradigm for rice consumption that goes beyond simple appeals to purchase, allowing consumers to truly experience and trust the intrinsic value of Gyeonggi rice.”
