Gyeongju is gaining popularity in growing subtropical fruits adding tangerines and other varieties commonly grown in the southern regions since the early 2010s.
Tangerines are grown in greenhouses in Gyeongju, run by 24 farms across 9.5 hectares of land, two hectares more since last year.
Melon farming, which began at four Gyeongju farms in 2003, has expanded to 77 farms.
They are grown during the off-season for tomatoes, adding to the farmers’ annual profits.
Gyeongju’s city government and its farmers are now testing new “apple mango” farms, with the first harvest expected for 2024.
A leading region for tomato farming, Gyeongju is famous for its fertile land and ample sunlight.
Gyeongju is 371 kilometers southeast of Seoul.
