[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyunjung] Nonghyup Hanaro Distribution announced on the 2nd that it will supply an additional 700,000 masks at Hanaro Marts nationwide on the 3rd.

The distribution stores remain the same as the previous day, with 2,219 Hanaro Marts nationwide. Sales will begin at each store from 2 PM, and masks will be sold at cost without profit, limited to 5 masks per person. The selling price ranges from 1,000 to 14,000 KRW, varying by product depending on performance and additional materials. If the product is the same, there is no price difference by store or region.

Additionally, to minimize inconveniences such as customers lining up and increased waiting times due to the increased demand for masks, various measures such as distributing numbered tickets at each branch and announcing remaining stock will be implemented.

Since being designated as an official mask sales outlet, Nonghyup has supplied a total of 3.5 million masks over five days from February 27 to March 2.
