"A Tasty Encounter" at Gyeonggi-do Food Plaza on Oct. 24-25

Gyeonggi Province will hold “A Tasty Encounter,” an event for public participation, on October 24 and 25 at the Gyeonggi-do Food Plaza on the grounds of Gyeonggi Sangsang Campus in Suwon.

The event was planned to boost sales channels for the province’s high-quality agricultural produce and processed agricultural products, bringing vitality to local farms while introducing residents to the value of local food. It will be held alongside the 10th-anniversary celebration of Gyeonggi Sangsang Campus, with an even richer lineup of cultural and artistic content.

“A Tasty Encounter” reflects the idea that agricultural produce carefully grown in the region reaches residents’ tables, while producers and consumers discover each other’s value along the way.

Under the theme of “Imagination,” the event venue will feature four specialized zones tailored to visitors: a “Promotional Zone,” where visitors can learn at a glance about the vision and major initiatives of the Gyeonggi-do Food Plaza; an “Agricultural Produce Experience Zone,” offering a multisensory experience of handling and exploring fresh seasonal produce; a “Rural Convergence Industry Product Market,” bringing together high-quality products from trusted businesses in the province that have met strict standards for rural convergence industry certification; and a “Healing Zone,” where visitors can relax and chat amid the autumn woods.

Lee Yanggi, head of Gyeonggi Province’s New Growth Agriculture Team, said, “We hope that through ‘A Tasty Encounter,’ residents will experience the province’s diverse agricultural products and healthy food culture firsthand, and discover outstanding products from rural convergence industry businesses. We will continue to promote the value of the Gyeonggi-do Food Plaza through a variety of programs that residents can take part in and enjoy.”
