Post Office Shopping "This Time Sinan Peeled Garlic..1kg 6600 Won"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Junho] Post Office Shopping has stepped up to save garlic farms in Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do. The Korea Post Business Promotion Agency announced on the 27th that Post Office Shopping, together with Jeollanam-do and the Jeonnam Regional Post Office, will hold an online sales promotion to support garlic-producing farms in Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do until the 5th of next month.

This event offers a 1kg bag of peeled garlic produced by Sinan Nonghyup, packed in an icebox, at a discounted price of 6,600 won. The garlic is selected as medium size or larger, and Jeollanam-do supports the farm aid budget to sell it at the affordable price of 6,600 won (with discount coupon applied).

Sinan garlic is characterized by the pungent spiciness typical of Namdo garlic. Compared to Daeseo garlic, which is mainly eaten raw, it is notable for its versatility in seasoning, cooking, and kimchi making. The allicin component, which has strong antibacterial effects, is three times higher than that of Daeseo garlic.

Post Office Shopping, a public shopping mall launched to develop sales channels for domestic agricultural and marine products, has been conducting campaigns to help farms in crisis due to natural disasters or oversupply.

In 2018, it sold 15,000 boxes of Hwacheon zucchini and about 14,000 boxes of Haenam cabbage, and last year, it ran campaigns to support farms such as Namhae spinach and Muan onions.

Min Jaeseok, Director of the Korea Post Business Promotion Agency, said, "We hope this garlic promotion will provide some help to garlic farms struggling due to COVID-19," and added, "Post Office Shopping aims to fulfill its role as a public shopping mall through continuous farm support campaigns."

Post Office Shopping is available through over 3,500 post offices nationwide, the Post Office Shopping Mall, mobile Post Office Shopping, and the Post Office Call Center.
