The Gimcheon Distribution Farming Cooperative was established in 1994 and began its business in the cold storage of agricultural products. About 10 years ago, it expanded into the distribution, storage, and fresh-cut product commercialization of agricultural products, and currently handles a variety of agricultural products including potatoes, onions, carrots, sweet potatoes, and green onions. It has grown into a mid-sized enterprise with approximately 70 employees, aiming to achieve sales of 15 billion won and farm household income of 2.5 billion won by 2024.

The Gimcheon Distribution Farming Cooperative has grown rapidly in line with the trend of preferring fresh and convenient agricultural products, driven by the increase in single-person households and institutional catering. By contract-cultivating produce such as potatoes and onions grown in the Gimcheon region, the cooperative guarantees stable prices for farmers and supplies consumers with high-quality, safe produce, contributing to the mutual growth of local agriculture. Its major clients include Samsung Welstory and LG Ourhome, and recently, it has been enhancing distribution efficiency through online B2B marketing.
