Cheongdo-gun in North Gyeongsang Province was named the top-performing municipality in the 2026 municipal agricultural policy evaluation, receiving a governor's commendation at the 31st Farmers' Day ceremony held Wednesday at Dongnak Hall of the North Gyeongsang Provincial Government.

The award marks the seventh consecutive year Cheongdo-gun has taken top honors in the evaluation, which covers all 22 cities and counties in the province.

The North Gyeongsang municipal agricultural policy evaluation assesses a broad range of agricultural administration areas, including agricultural transformation, food and retail distribution, smart farming, livestock policy, animal disease prevention and locally tailored initiatives.

Cheongdo-gun stood out for rolling out diverse agricultural policies aimed at stabilizing farmers' incomes and strengthening the competitiveness of local agriculture, demonstrating consistent administrative capacity in carrying out its agricultural programs.

"Winning the agricultural policy award for seven consecutive years is a testament to the external recognition our county's agricultural policies have earned," Cheongdo-gun County Chief Park Gwon-hyeon said. "We will continue to respond proactively to changes in the agricultural and rural environment and pursue field-centered agricultural policies to build a more competitive Cheongdo."
