Lotte Mart Offers Up to 20% Discount on Seasonal Fruits and Vegetables in Partnership with Nonghyup

Cheer Up Korea! Energizing the Nation with Our Agricultural Products

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] Lotte Mart is joining hands with Nonghyup to revive Korean agricultural products.

Lotte Mart announced on the 27th that it will hold the event "Cheer Up Korea! Recharge the Nation's Vitality with Our Agricultural Products" for one week from the 28th of this month to the 3rd of next month at stores nationwide.

This event is jointly planned by Lotte Mart and Nonghyup to promote the sales of seasonal agricultural products that are struggling due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). According to the Agricultural Observatory, although the tangerine farms had a bumper crop compared to previous years, shipments decreased by about 300 tons (t) compared to the previous year due to the consumption slump caused by COVID-19. Securing sales channels is urgent.

The event products include domestically produced seasonal fruits and vegetables such as chamoe (Korean melon), watermelon, tangerines, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, and chili peppers, sold at up to about 20% discount compared to regular products. For example, the sweet "Seongju Chamoe (3-6 pieces·1 bag)" is sold for 6,980 won, and when purchasing 2 bags, it can be bought at 5,980 won per bag. Also, "Jeju House Tangerines (800g·1 pack)" and "Jujube Cherry Tomatoes (1kg·1 pack)" are sold to L.Point members at 6,980 won and 4,980 won respectively, each discounted by 3,000 won from the regular price. Additionally, "Jeonnam Yeongam Potatoes (2kg·1 box)" are offered at 5,980 won, and "Muan Hwangtorang Fresh Onions (3kg)" at 4,580 won.

Kim Chang-yong, Head of Product Division at Lotte Mart, said, "We planned this event in collaboration with Nonghyup to revitalize the sales of our agricultural products," and added, "We hope customers visit Lotte Mart during the event period to enjoy safe Korean agricultural products at affordable prices."

Meanwhile, on the 28th, Lotte Mart plans to hold a special sales event to promote the consumption of Korean agricultural products at the Seoul Station branch, with participation from the Head of Nonghyup Member Economy Support Headquarters, the representative of Nonsan Jogong, and the Head of Lotte Mart Product Division.
