[Korea Farmers' and Fishermen's Newspaper, Reporter Woo Jung-soo] The first auction for the 2025 crop of dried garlic at the Changnyeong Agricultural Cooperative auction site in South Gyeongsang Province's Changnyeong County, a major garlic production area, concluded while leaving farmers with disappointment about their hopes for production cost coverage. As prices lingered in the mid-3000 won range, far below expectations, the auction was temporarily halted amid farmer protests, creating a tense atmosphere similar to last year's first auction, though it ultimately concluded without major conflict. Garlic farmers held onto their resolve for production cost coverage, finding some consolation in the early 4000 won range prices from the afternoon auction. ▲First Auction Falling Short of Farmer Expectations = From early morning, the sunlight was unusually intense

This environmental cleanup project was organized to showcase Jeju's clean image to local residents and tourists as the rainy season approaches, create a pleasant rural environment, and widely promote the role of the branch's women's association in the local community. President Yang Ae-suk stated, "We carried out this environmental cleanup to improve the image of Munseom Village as a good place to live for visitors and residents ahead of the full summer vacation season."
