Characteristics of Gwangju's Tomatoes
Gwangju's tomatoes are cultivated in the clean areas around Paldang Lake, thus boasting firmness, high sweetness, and premium quality. Tomatoes are among the major specialty crops of Gwangju grown with eco-friendly farming, including insect-killing using the insects’ natural enemies and bee pollination. We have developed our tomatoes into a national specialty through various projects and the local Toechon Tomato Festival.
Safely cultivated in an eco-friendly way
Our tomatoes are produced using helpful microbes that improve the soil quality, and insects’ natural enemies to remove the harmful insects.
Bee pollination
The seeds are pollinated in a natural way to grow fruit with a premium taste and flavor. Pesticides are not used as the bees have to survive.
Harvesting ripe tomatoes
We do not pick tomatoes before they have ripened. We harvest them when they’re already completely ripe so they’d have the delightful taste of fresh tomatoes.
Cultivation in a good environment and with the best facilities
Out institutional farming complex is located amidst the clean and clear landscape of Paldang Lake, and new sustainable cultivation technologies have been adopted to produce best-quality tomatoes.
