[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hoon] Yongin City announced on the 19th that the Korean Women Farmers Association Yongin City Chapter will hold a 'local food sales event' behind the outdoor stage at Dongbaek Lake Park in Joong-dong, Giheung-gu on the 22nd.

The event aims to assist social welfare facilities and low-income residents in the city by selling high-quality agricultural products produced locally and handmade crafts created through volunteer efforts by association members at prices lower than the market rate.

At the event, residents can purchase fresh agricultural products such as cherry tomatoes, grains, and leafy vegetables produced in the city, as well as processed foods including mushrooms, pickled items, and syrups, and flowers at prices below market rates.

Additionally, handcrafted wooden items such as cutting boards and picture frames made directly by association members, as well as handmade products like coin purses, will also be on display.

The Korean Women Farmers Association Yongin City Chapter plans to prepare agricultural product bundles worth approximately 3 million won from the event proceeds and donate them to social welfare facilities or low-income residents in the city.

A city official said, "We hope that the local food sales event will revitalize farms that have been affected by COVID-19 and serve as an opportunity to inform citizens of the excellence of agricultural products produced in our city."
