In a situation where the demand and price of masks have recently surged, the Seoul Regional Headquarters of NongHyup (Director Lee Dae-yeop) raised funds from the profits of farms participating in the Seoul NongHyup Direct Market to deliver masks for social groups more vulnerable to the novel coronavirus.


The masks delivered on this day were prepared voluntarily by about 50 farms participating in the Seoul NongHyup Direct Market to return profits to the local community, making it even more meaningful as a response to the novel coronavirus together with the local community.


The delivery ceremony was attended by Lee Dae-yeop, Director of NongHyup Seoul Regional Headquarters, Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, Lee Seok-yong, Director of Seoul Sales Headquarters, and Choi Bok-sik, Chairman of the Seoul NongHyup Direct Market Autonomous Association.


Lee Dae-yeop, Director of NongHyup Seoul Regional Headquarters, said, “In a situation where concerns about the spread of the novel coronavirus infection are increasing, I hope this will help socially vulnerable groups to feel safe and carry on with their daily lives, even if just a little.”



Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, said, “Despite the difficult reality of agriculture and rural areas, I am grateful that Seoul NongHyup and the farms participating in the Direct Market voluntarily raised funds to support socially vulnerable groups and neighbors in need.”
