○ History of Hallabong
 - Hallabong
was first created in 1972 by the Japanese Department of Agriculture and has
been cultivated since 1984. Hallabong
was named so because it resembles the peak
of Mt. Halla and is also called
Bujihwa in Korea. Naju initiated the test production of Hallabong
in 1987 and began to produce it for sale in 1994. Bacause Naju has more sunshine and fertile
soil than Jeju Island,
along with its advanced irrigation and rain control technology, Naju produces
more Hallabong than any other region in Korea. With eco-friendly cultivation and a strict
quality assurance system, Naju’s Hallabong is recognized as
a prestigious product.
○ Hallabong Production
- Naju produces Hallabong in a
10ha field, which is cultivated by 45 farm households.
 ○ Introducing Hallabong
- Each fruit of Hallabong weighs
about 200g-300g and the tip has a projected navel. When the tree first starts to bear the fruit,
it is light green in color. However,
when the fruit starts to ripen from mid-October, it transforms into orange
color. Hallabong is very sweet, tender,
and juicy.
- Hallabong is harvested
from early December to late January and sold from early January to late May.
