On the 1st, Lee Seong-hee, President of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (front), visited the Nonghyup Seongnam Distribution Center and Yongin Guseong Nonghyup Hanaro Mart to check the mask supply situation.

[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyun-jung] NongHyup Hanaro Distribution announced on the 2nd that it will supply an additional 700,000 masks nationwide. Accordingly, since being designated as a public mask sales outlet on the 26th, NongHyup has supplied a total of 2.79 million masks over four days from the 27th to March 1st.

After selling 1.02 million masks nationwide excluding Seoul and Gyeonggi areas from the 27th to 29th, on the 1st of this month, when mask demand was expected to increase significantly, an emergency additional supply was secured and 1.77 million masks were supplied to 353 Hanaro Marts in the metropolitan area.

On the 2nd, 700,000 masks are scheduled to be sold through 2,219 Hanaro Marts nationwide. Although there may be differences by store, NongHyup Central Association has recommended starting sales from 2 p.m. This is because if sales begin in the morning, problems such as consumers lining up from dawn to purchase may occur.

The sales price ranges from 1,000 to 14,000 won, varying by product depending on performance and whether additional materials are included. If the product is the same, there is no price difference by store or region. Purchases are limited to a maximum of 5 masks per person.

NongHyup plans to work closely with related ministries to secure stable supplies without disruption and make company-wide efforts to ensure the secured quantities are supplied more quickly. Detailed information such as the locations of Hanaro Marts by region can be found on the NongHyup Hanaro Distribution website and the NongHyup Mall website.

Earlier on the 1st, Lee Sung-hee, Chairman of NongHyup Central Association, visited the NongHyup Seongnam Distribution Center and Yongin Guseong NongHyup Hanaro Mart site to check the mask supply situation. Chairman Lee checked the mask sales status at Hanaro Mart and spoke with customers visiting the store, expressing his commitment to fully support mask supply.
