HAMAN — Haman-gun announced on the 6th that local agricultural and food processing companies successfully secured a $500,000 export agreement with local agri-food distributor Jangbaguni Inc. at the 53rd Los Angeles Korean Festival in the United States, marking a significant milestone in expanding their presence in the North American market.

On the 2nd, the county held an official business agreement signing ceremony aimed at expanding Haman's agricultural food products into the U.S. market, attended by three participating local companies and local U.S. buyers.
