Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, Major Online Shopping Malls Hold Seafood Consumption Promotion Event... Up to 30% Discount

[Asia Economy Reporter Joo Sang-don] The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced on the 29th that it will hold an online seafood consumption promotion event starting from the 30th to revitalize seafood consumption, which has been depressed due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Recently, due to social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, visits to major seafood consumption places such as restaurants and large supermarkets have decreased, leading to a decline in seafood consumption. In response, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries planned this event to promote win-win cooperation with fishermen who are struggling due to poor sales caused by COVID-19. Online shopping malls will voluntarily participate by offering discounts.

This event is organized by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and hosted by Public Shopping, Danawa, Lotte e-Commerce (Lotte.com), Lotte Home Shopping, 11st, Interpark, Jeonggwanjang Mall, and Coupang. It will be held sequentially over two weeks by each shopping mall.

During the event period, each shopping mall will sell about 100 items, including seasonal farmed seafood such as abalone and sea squirts (Ureongsheong-i), as well as webfoot octopus, sea cucumber, fresh shrimp, and cockles, at discounted prices ranging from 5% to 30%.
