Song Mi-ryung, the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, stated on August 5 that the government will expand the supply of organic produce packages for pregnant women and ensure strict quality and hygiene management.
During her visit to the Organic Culture Experience Center in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province, Song participated in a baby food-making experience with pregnant women and gathered various opinions to promote the consumption of organic produce.
This visit aimed to assess the public response to the organic produce package initiative for pregnant women, which began in earnest in July. The program is part of a national project designed to deliver organic produce to pregnant women, who are particularly sensitive to food quality, alleviating the burden of childbirth and childcare while securing stable sales channels. The initiative was relaunched this year after receiving high satisfaction ratings during a previous pilot program.
Song actively engaged in making baby food snacks using organic produce such as pesticide-free pumpkins and carrots. She emphasized the public value of organic food and the necessity of providing safe ingredients for pregnant women and their children.
Additionally, she promised to take strict action against suppliers that violate compliance requirements for the organic produce packages.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs plans to regularly monitor the supply status of organic produce in collaboration with local governments, organic agricultural producers, and package suppliers. Furthermore, it aims to enhance quality and hygiene management through joint inspections of suppliers with relevant agencies.
