"Ulsan Pear" Taste and Quality on Display... 25th Ulsan Pear Festival to Be Held

Near Hanaro Mart at the Ulsan Horticultural Agricultural Cooperative on Oct. 16-17

Ulju County in Ulsan announced on Oct. 14 that the 25th Ulsan Pear Festival, organized by the Ulsan Horticultural Agricultural Cooperative, will be held from Oct. 16 to 17 near the cooperative's Hanaro Mart.

The festival is intended to showcase the quality of pears, one of Ulsan's signature local specialties, and give producers and consumers a chance to share the joy of the harvest.

The opening ceremony and a celebratory performance will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 16, the first day of the festival, on the outdoor stage at Hanaro Mart. A variety of programs will take place during the event, including pear, sweet persimmon and apple judging, a direct-to-consumer agricultural market, hands-on activity booths, and a global fusion pear cuisine event.

The direct-to-consumer market will sell local fruit, including pears and sweet persimmons, as well as agricultural products grown by young entrepreneurs in farming. It is expected to provide an opportunity for producers and consumers to meet directly, learn about the quality and value of local agricultural products, and connect with one another.

An Ulju County official said, "We expect the Ulsan Pear Festival to be a meaningful occasion to promote the quality of local agricultural products, including Ulsan pears, at home and abroad and to recognize the hard work of farming households."

Meanwhile, Ulsan pears continue to be exported to the United States, earning recognition for their quality at home and abroad. This year, despite difficult growing conditions such as drought, the harvest is forecast to be slightly larger than in an average year.
