Jeonbuk Province will hold a special sales event on the 9th at the provincial office parking lot from 10 a.m., using a drive-thru method, on a first-come, first-served basis until the seafood products are sold out.

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Tae-in] Jeonbuk Province recently announced that at the 5th drive-thru sales event, which has been experiencing a sell-out streak, it will sell excellent seafood products produced and processed within the province.

Jeonbuk Province stated on the 7th that on the 9th, from 10 a.m. at the provincial government parking lot, a special sales event will be held on a first-come, first-served basis using the drive-thru method until the seafood products are sold out.

At this drive-thru sales event, Jeonbuk Fishing Village Specialized Support Center and Gochang County Fisheries Cooperative will promote local seafood, which has been depressed due to the spread of COVID-19, and prepare seafood products priced 13 to 44% cheaper than the market price to revitalize the fisheries industry and local economy.

The seafood products for sale at the event are directly produced and processed within the province and include eight items: Dongjuk clams (live), known as "water gun clams," rich in calcium and iron and good for diabetes relief; live Manila clams, which are meaty and in season; freeze-dried Manila clam meat; Pungcheon eel (pre-grilled) produced in Gochang County; farmed dried seaweed and roasted seaweed from the clean waters of Gochang mudflats with abundant sunlight; seasoned octopus sauce and hairtail fish sauce produced by the first HACCP-certified company in the province.

Live seafood (Dongjuk clams, Manila clams) and Pungcheon eel will be sold packaged with refrigerants in ice boxes to maintain freshness for 4 to 6 hours after purchase. Those wishing to visit the event site should enter through the North Gate 1 (entrance) of the provincial government using a vehicle, fill out an order form inside the car following on-site guidance, receive and pay for products at six sales booths, and then exit through the South Gate (exit) of the provincial government.

Choi Jae-yong, Director of the Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Food Bureau of Jeonbuk Province, said, "We will take this sales event as a good opportunity to promote our province's excellent seafood and devise various measures to expand direct seafood transactions and stimulate seafood consumption."
