Introduction
Jangdan has a reputation for its production of soybeans, in which a large-sized cultivation complex of soybeans has been established. High-quality soybeans produced in this area are supplied throughout the country. Due to its peculiarity of location where the entry of civilians is controlled, this area can produce the best quality soybeans from its clean water and non-polluting soil. Every November, the Paju Jangdan Soybean Festival is held under the agreement with the military unit that has jurisdiction over the northern area to the Civil Control Line. The purpose of the festival is to strengthen the agricultural competitiveness in an environment of an open economy under WTO rules and to develop local specialties so as to increase the income of the local residences.
