In particular, Mayor Sun emphasized the importance of utilizing Suncheon’s unique ecological resources, including mountains, the sea, rivers, tidal flats, as well as rice paddies and fields. He called for diversification into high value-added industries to enhance the competitiveness of rural sectors such as food and functional materials.

Mayor Sun Hoonmo stated, "The more care and affection the city devotes, the more the industrial field is bound to grow. Going forward, I will continue to visit sites to monitor the progress of business projects and maintain open communication with stakeholders so that the green bio industry can become established early."

He added, "By fostering green bio industries based on Suncheon’s ecological assets as future industries, we will respond to the potential decline of rural areas and build a Suncheon where farmers can thrive."

Meanwhile, since Seungju-eup was selected for the 'Jeonnam-type Balanced Development 300 Project' in 2023, the area has been steadily expanding its foundation for developing the green bio industry, and construction of a bio-specialized knowledge industrial center for biotransformation is scheduled to begin at the end of this year.
