In Ssangchaek-myeon, 40 farms are currently cultivating strawberries on a scale of about 15 hectares.

Despite the heatwave and drought last summer, Ssangjae Strawberry boasts excellent quality through thorough management such as proper irrigation, fertilization, and pest control.

As a result, it is a filial item that greatly contributes to the creation of high income for farmers, and is growing as a representative crop of the Ssanchaek region.
