[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Lotte Mart is holding a "Nationwide Famous Wild Vegetable Collection Exhibition," gathering wild vegetables from famous production areas across the country, at all stores until the 29th.

This event was prepared with about a 30% increase in quantity compared to last spring, considering the recent rise in popularity of wild vegetables, which have been introduced several times on cooking shows. In fact, Lotte Mart's sales of wild vegetables have been on the rise, increasing by 5.6% in 2018 and 10.2% in 2019 compared to the previous year.

First, Lotte Mart prepared Chamdurup (Aralia elata shoots) that passed strict quality inspections through the joint shipping association organized by the Sunchang-gun Cooperative Business Corporation and the local Gurim Nonghyup. Only products from 207 farms within Sunchang-gun that have received GAP certification, an agricultural product quality management certification, were carefully selected for Sunchang Chamdurup, and the price for one pack of Chamdurup is 6,980 won.

Also, Ulleungdo Myeonginamul (1 pack) and Bujigaenginamul (1 pack) are offered at 4,680 won and 3,480 won respectively, and Gangwon-do Samcheok Myeonginamul (1 pack) and Gomchinamul (1 pack) are available at 4,680 won and 3,780 won respectively.

Meanwhile, to support farmers facing difficulties due to the cancellation of regional festivals commemorating the spring potato harvest caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, a "Direct Shipment Exhibition of Gimje Gwanghwal New Potatoes" is being held at all stores until the 22nd. The price for "Gimje Gwanghwal GAP Potatoes (1.5 kg)" is 5,980 won.

Do Hyung-rae, Lotte Mart's vegetable MD, said, "Wild vegetables have now become ingredients that anyone can enjoy regardless of age," and added, "We prepared in advance so that customers can taste a variety of top-quality wild vegetables in a timely manner, and we hope this will be an opportunity to enjoy the scent of spring."
