From December 18, 2024, to May 1, 2025, Wooridul N Agricultural Cooperative Corporation has exported a total of 23 tons of strawberries, expanding its market not only to Hong Kong but also to Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia.

Goryeong County plans to continue supporting the stabilization of export logistics, standards, and quality by strengthening the production base for high-quality strawberries such as Geumsil and Seolhyang, and by facilitating cooperation between local growers and export companies to actively respond to overseas buyers' demand.

The county expects that this shipment will further accelerate the overseas expansion of Goryeong strawberries and will continue to provide various administrative support to ensure stable income for local farmers and to establish a sustainable production base.
