The harvested plums are purchased by various agricultural cooperatives, including Suncheon United Cooperative Business Corporation and Suncheon Enmaesil Co., Ltd., and are then distributed to major wholesale markets in Seoul, Gwangju, Daejeon, as well as local food direct stores and online distribution networks, reaching consumers nationwide. More than 5,100 tons are expected to be shipped during the peak harvest season.

In addition, processed plum products such as plum syrup and plum hotteok made from Suncheon plums have been continuously exported to countries including the United States and Japan since 2019, with a total of 18 tons exported so far. Strict distribution management and a consumer recall system are implemented from sorting to shipment, earning recognition for their superior quality.

A city official stated, "Thanks to Suncheon's pristine natural environment and the dedication of our farmers, we have been able to harvest plums of even higher quality than in previous years. Suncheon city will continue to provide comprehensive support to strengthen the competitiveness of local agriculture and to practically increase farmers' incomes."
