[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hoon Reporter] The Gyeonggi Regional Headquarters of the Agricultural Cooperative visited Bulfal-eup, Icheon, Gyeonggi Province on the 10th with the attendance of Jo Yong-bae, Chairman of Bulfal Agricultural Cooperative, and Kim Young-choon, Head of Icheon City Branch, to inspect rice harvesting and rice processing facility (RPC) purchasing operations.

On this day, Director General Kim Jang-seop visited the harvesting site of early-variety rice 'Haedel' located in Eungam-ri, Bulfal-eup, demonstrated rice cutting, and shared the joy of the harvest.
