About 200 people attended the event, including Goheung County Governor Gong Youngmin, Song Hyunggon, Chair of the Jeonnam-Gwangju Unified Special City Council, Kim Minyeol, Chair and members of the Goheung County Council, heads of related organizations, heads of agricultural and livestock cooperatives, farmers shipping their products, and local residents, all celebrating the meaningful launch of the supply center together.

The first floor of the newly opened center is equipped with a smart joint sorting center (APC) for high-quality agricultural product shipments, a small package room, a cold storage facility, and a hygiene inspection room, further enhancing the safety and marketability of agricultural products from Goheung. The second floor houses the management office, seminar room, and a shared office for startups, and is intended to be used as a multipurpose, integrated hub for agricultural activities.

Notably, before the official completion ceremony, the center began pilot operations with peaches on June 15. It carried out precise sorting and nationwide shipments of Goheung’s premium peaches without issue, demonstrating its stable operational capabilities.

Building on this, the county plans to begin full-scale joint sorting and shipment operations with approximately 60 tomato-growing farms starting in November. Through this initiative, the goal is to achieve over 80% annual operational utilization of the facility, thereby maximizing efficiency.

Governor Gong Youngmin stated, “The Goheung County Agricultural Products Smart Supply Center will serve as a core hub not just for sorting agricultural products, but also for leading innovation in supply regulation and distribution from production areas in Goheung’s agriculture,” adding, “We will continue to concentrate the county's capabilities on stable management and supporting farmers, and will persist in our efforts going forward.”
