Damyang-gun, COVID-19 Overcome with 'Eco-friendly Agricultural Products Drive-Thru' Sales

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Choi Hyung-sik) announced on the 14th that it held an event selling eco-friendly agricultural product packages through a drive-thru at Junggye Neighborhood Park in Nowon-gu, Seoul, to help farmers struggling due to the spread of COVID-19.

Prior to this event, due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and online school openings, the county was unable to supply local eco-friendly agricultural products for school meals. With support from Nowon-gu, a first round of pre-order sales was conducted on the 9th targeting district office employees.

As a result of the sales to employees, satisfaction with the freshness of the agricultural products and the composition of the packages was high, so a second sale was held at Junggye Neighborhood Park, located between Junggye Station and Hagye Station on Seoul Subway Line 7.

The county sold the products using a drive-thru method, allowing customers to receive them while remaining in their vehicles due to COVID-19.

The eco-friendly packages consisted of organic green onions, organic chives, pesticide-free fresh onions, zucchini, and other products produced in the county, with a total of 500 sets sold by that day.

The county plans to promote drive-thru sales of eco-friendly agricultural product packages in Seongbuk-gu as well, and intends to hold regular sales with Nowon-gu until the COVID-19 situation stabilizes.
