Hwaseong City Participates in 'Informatization Village Festa 2013'

Three informatization villages within Hwaseong City—Baekmi-ri, Jangjeon, and Mulkkot Village—participated in the 'Informatization Village Festa 2013' held over two days on the 8th and 9th, where they promoted Hwaseong City's informatization village experience programs and the excellence of local specialty products.

The event was organized by the Association of Informatization Villages and sponsored by 16 cities and provinces, with 144 informatization villages participating in a direct trade market for regional specialty products.

Following last year's participation, Hwaseong City's informatization villages utilized three booths, each preparing representative specialty products including Baekmi-ri seaweed, Koshihikari rice, Namyang sweet potatoes, and various grains. They displayed and sold Hwaseong City's superior agricultural products while also conducting tasting events and experience activities.

Kim Hak-heon, director of the Information and Communication Division, stated, "The Informatization Village Festa became an opportunity to widely introduce our city's excellent agricultural products to consumers nationwide and served as a festival venue where urban consumers and rural residents could communicate and unite."
