[Asia Economy Reporter Joo Sang-don] The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced on the 24th that, together with Jeonnam Province, Yeosu City, the Korea Fisheries Management Association Jeollanam-do Federation, and the 2012 Yeosu World Expo Foundation, it will hold a local seafood discount sales event using a drive-thru purchase method from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. over two days on the 25th and 26th.

This event will be conducted in a drive-thru format as part of social distancing measures due to the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The venue will be set up in the parking lot near the entrance of Odongdo within the Yeosu World Expo site.

To prevent COVID-19 infection, the venue will undergo prior disinfection, hand sanitizers will be provided, and sellers will be required to wear sanitary gloves and masks as part of thorough quarantine measures.

Consumers can purchase seven local seafood items at prices lower than market rates, including semi-dried rockfish and sea bream, skate sashimi, steamed abalone, seaweed sets, premium dried yellow croaker, prepared anglerfish, and smoked anchovies.

Ian Ho, Director of Marine Policy at the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, said, "We hope this event will help revitalize the fisheries industry and local economy in Jeonnam, which has been stagnant due to COVID-19, as well as promote the use of the Yeosu World Expo site."
