(JEONJU = Newsis) Four cities and counties of Jeollabuk-do including Gunsan and Buan were nominated as the environmentally-friendly agricultural zones.

Jeollabuk-do announced on April 9 that it nominated four of its cities and counties as the environmentally-friendly agricultural zones to develop a stable production infrastructure for environmentally-friendly agricultural products.

The nominated cities and counties include Napo District of Gunsan-si, Bibong District of Wanju-si, Samgye District of Imsil-gun, Byunsan District of Buan-gun and Jusan District of Buan. The province plans to invest a total of KRW 2.04 billion in these districts.
