"Buy the First Watermelons of the Year in Haman"… Gyeongnam Province Hosts Drive-Thru Sales Event

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] Gyeongsangnam-do and Haman-gun announced that on the 4th, they held a special sales event and drive-thru event for 'Haman Agricultural Products' around the provincial government office to promote consumption and open sales channels for local agricultural products, which have been stagnated due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event was attended by Kim Kyung-soo, Governor of Gyeongnam Province, Kim Ji-soo, Chairman of the Gyeongnam Provincial Council, and Cho Geun-je, Mayor of Haman-gun.

The special sales event was planned to revitalize the local agricultural product distribution market through a new distribution method called drive-thru sales, as farmers in the province have been facing great difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation.

At the event, watermelons and Gaya Baekja melons from Haman-gun, famous as the main production area of winter watermelons, were sold at a 30% discount compared to market prices: one watermelon (7 kg) for 15,000 won, and Gaya Baekja melon (4 kg) for 20,000 won.

Since customers purchase watermelons while remaining in their cars, the risk of COVID-19 infection is low, and they can conveniently receive the heavy watermelons. Additionally, the prices are cheaper than the market price, which received great response from the residents participating in the special sales event.

Governor Kim Kyung-soo purchased watermelons and melons using Zero Pay and urged, "Since farmers are facing many difficulties due to COVID-19, please use a lot of high-quality and delicious Haman watermelons and melons."
