The Gyeonggi Branch of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (Nonghyup) announced on the 10th that they hosted a welcome event at the Nonghyup Hanaro Mart for the Argentine participants of the '2023 Saemangeum World Scout Jamboree,' which is currently hosting an experiential event in Uiwang City.
The Argentine delegation visited the Hanaro Mart Suwon branch on the 9th, toured the agricultural product sales area, and also participated in a K-fruit tasting event, riding the wave of Hallyu (Korean Wave) that is currently popular in South America.
One of the participants, Suarez, who tasted Shine Muscat for the first time, commented, "I tried Shine Muscat for the first time after seeing it on Netflix. It looks similar to grapes, but it tastes like mango with the best texture and sweetness."
Along with promoting K-fruit, Gyeonggi Nonghyup supported the participants by presenting them with 500 servings of rice noodle soup and rice cake made with local rice.
On the 11th, they plan to invite the participants to the Agricultural Museum located in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, to introduce them to Korean agriculture and continue various cultural experience programs.
