 So here, this is called gondre. You already ate this before. Yes, it is a medicinal plant So, you know in Korean Forest Service has different items Which they are non timber products from the mountain and this plant is number 29 so the thing is this gondre is one of patent Patent licensed yeah plant because not only because we consume it But we have a history of 400 years of consuming this plant. So that is why they depending on the Level of the sea, you know, we are high above this area. It's called Kangwon province from the Kangwon province We are high above the sea level and this special plan Gondre can grow in a clear and clean area high above The sea level that is why Kangwon-do this province is so famous of this wild herb called Gondre, but there are many wild herbs, but you know the herbs have medicinal effect So sometimes if you eat too much herb, it can damage your liver. It can damage your lung It can it can be poisonous if you over consume, but this this Herb there is no problem. Even though you consume it every single day It will do now no harm to the body. So this wide herb gondre can cure diseases of Liver but not from the leaf or not from the flower but from the roots Yes, so it's like this. There is a medicine called Sillimar Sillimar is a medicine that is effective with your liver But when you harvest the roots of the gondre You can use the roots extract and you can get the medicine called Sillimar So gondre is one of medicine or herbs that gives good effects to human body So if you eat gondre, if you consume gondre, it helps people the digestion And sometimes people cannot go to the toilet. Very difficult. So when you eat this you can go to the toilet Happy. My name is Choi Young-joo. I'm in charge of this facility They produce here non-kimber Prada from the mountain. So this facility what they do is they receive Wild herbs from the local farmers and then they produce it into a different kind of prada So we will take a look around. So at the moment, we're not harvesting the wild herbs That is on the early spring season So right now the facility is not running, but we can explain to you what kind of job they do Okay, so what we are gonna do is we're gonna see how the facility looks like for inside like the production what they produce They will explain to us and we will come back here again You can experience how you make the wild herb with rice how you mix it how you cook it like this kind of experience For like younger generation and we teach so we want you to have this experience So first let's say you are a farmer. You are a forester You are I don't know the neighborhood like we all let's say we all live in this neighborhood So Sonny will bring 100 kilo of wild herb. He will bring maybe 200 kilo 300 kilos 100 kilo 50 kilo like that They buy from the people that they live in this area. They receive the wild herb the wild herb will come in here So there is a certificate by the government G. A. P. Which means they got a good qualification Producing wild herbs. So they will receive this wild herbs from the local people in this regional area And then they when it comes here We collect them we measure them we pay you and then it goes throughout this this conveyor belt Then it goes into that machine the round one why to get rid of any kind of insect or any kind of different You know when you pick the herbs you also pick the grass we get rid of that So it's like this for any any Koreans who wants to consume their product because they have a Certificate from the government this certificate is every year we need renew why because they check the quality of the water They use here. They check if the products don't have remaining pesticides or or Remaining chemicals like you pesticide Sometimes people use that so we check our herbs Final product that it is no harm to the console consumers. So they get that a certificate from the government each year So we put the Leaves here and then maybe a little bit that rotten then we pick it out. We throw it away So like this the conveyor belt will move No, they get rid of the ball Washing washing So it is like this let's say we are all farmers we all supply her while the herbs there is a certain Institute that they do this test for us What they do is okay Let's say they are going to go to your farm and then they will check if you are following the rules correctly If the farmers are following the rules correctly, it can be whomever from here. It can be me It can be you it can be him. It can be she who we don't know they get to select a plot And we checked that for two years in a row if they are using They you can use pesticides, but you cannot overdose So they check the remaining pesticides or so they check the wild herb at the moment that they're not overdosing it So they will check with one farmer two years in a row So in that kind of case we we can verify the quality of the product So as you see this this is their certificate of GAP So this number has a serial number So this certificate number if I'm a normal person if I'm a consumer I'm a buyer I buy this product and I search this in the internet. They will let me know who produce and how they produce GAP is a certificate that the farmers can get or so the facility can get it is too different But there are certain circumstances that you have to pass and there it is written down in a paper I cannot tell you one by one, but these are processes that you have to pass. It's like a test So if you're qualified then you get this certificate So when the when the products come in they take the samples to do the test with the sample If there is any heavy metal or chemicals inside the product And then we do every month test sample test with the final product that we made And what we do is we check if there is any other heavy metals or pesticides left over inside the final product Japanese Larch is normally the tree that comes inside here Larger More than 95% we produce Japanese Larch And we also do the pine trees and the Korean pine So this here, this is where they cut down the trees Certain sizes of the trees The machine that I told you that they use the steam Steam steam hot steam With this one we make pellets this one is to make one wood and then the other wood to be attached together So this is where we store our pellets We save the pellets inside here after we make them For animals, maybe the bedding, you know for cows or different kind of animals before when we make Pellets but now these days we make pellets. So there is zero waste in this factory. Yes, exactly That may be naive, but you know when we went up to the to the plantations up there Mm-hmm. We said the trees could be either owned by the state or by the owner Traditional owners. Yes So in the event that they made that wood and they go and cut up there And bring it down They pay The national Korean Forest Service or the traditional landowner Okay, they do how much? Okay, for example, if let's say sunny has this mountain. Yes, I have so many trees I'm a private owner. Yes. And then there is another mountain It's owned by the government government has planned to when to cut and when to plant Yes, so government tree a government mountain has no problem Well, let's say individual like sunny has a mountain and I want to cut down my trees Then I make a contract with the cutting people. There are people that they only do Cutting trees. Yes tree harvesting is their job. So I make a contract with them They and then they will say, okay, your hectare is maybe oh or 1.2 hectare Then I see this much trees and then sunny, I will give you this much money Then we say, okay, then you take Can be yes like that simple and easy Government give you license to cut the tree But this license is like this, okay, let's say sunny trees are already 60 year old 70 year old Okay, let's say even though cover if the government doesn't want them If if they don't want me to cut down my trees, then I cannot even though I'm so it is like this Even though sunny owns a mountain. Oh, I hope I did Even though sunny owns a mountain, even though my trees are ready to harvest It needs to cooperate with the planning of the local regional governments Tree planting time and it must be to get the cutting permission. Yes to get the gutting cutting license Do you have any transit permit? Do you need any permission permission do the people need any part my permission from the government to Transport from one area to other areas. No, we don't need that Yes, but another thing, you know because of the pine Diseases, you know, it becomes red and then they all die because of that So sometimes pine tree is not allowed to move from one district to another district So what we did here is we test different kinds of mushroom germs Here or so we test or so like this we give supply to the farmers Yes, so they can grow it right away from this one. You see this is the fungus We drill We drill the oak tree. Okay, we put it in there. Okay, and then we give water to the oak tree. Okay shade Okay, water yeah, we wait we pray we see the next morning. We see the mushroom. Yes This is before in oculation This is right now, it's doing incubation. It's growing you see In our factory you can see how we make this, okay, let's move on So the So dust is mixed afterwards. This is the automatic machine that it puts it into the jar This goes on and then then we put it inside the cart we put a very hot steam inside And boiler and then afterwards chilling chilling and Inoculation We have 21 different kinds of Way of growing mushrooms with the the so Yes, so we give this out to the farmers and we teach them how to grow by this What's the temperature in 18? So that after inoculation We do incubation for four months and afterwards we can harvest it is Up to four to six months the mushrooms we can harvest there are people that they they Cultivate all year around they use heaters And then the oak mushrooms normally they grow faster or they grow when this tree is dead When the cells are alive then they will not grow Another question was All the inoculation have been done in same day in the same day or not It's not like oh, I saw the seeds so everything grows in once no no I saw 100 yes I saw 100 this year 30% that's next year We don't know where it will grow This we inoculated last year So we are thinking of 30% of growing this autumn season Mushroom growing is not easy. You know why the mushroom is very expensive
