Shin Eui-jun, Jeonnam Provincial Assembly Member

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Shin Euijun, a member of the Jeonnam Provincial Assembly, expressed deep interest in the Post-COVID Jeonnam-type New Deal project during the 342nd Jeonnam Provincial Maritime and Fisheries Bureau budget review.

Regarding the Jeonnam Province's announcement of promoting the "Jeonnam-type New Deal project," consisting of 81 projects totaling 3.2 trillion won as a "Post-COVID response and Korean New Deal project," Assemblyman Shin inquired, "I am curious about what projects exist in the fisheries sector."

In particular, as offline sales of distribution companies remain sluggish due to COVID-19, non-face-to-face online sales are being activated. Reflecting this trend, the fisheries sector's New Deal projects are known to include establishing a foundation for online direct transactions of seafood and processing and distribution.

Assemblyman Shin Euijun said, "Fishermen are experiencing many difficulties due to reduced seafood consumption," and added, "I hope that with securing national funds, the Jeonnam-type New Deal project will proceed as planned and become an opportunity for the fisheries sector to make a leap forward in the post-COVID era."

Meanwhile, the Jeonnam Provincial Assembly is holding the 342nd 1st regular session from June 2 for 16 days to review the 2019 fiscal year settlement and approval of supplementary budget expenditures, as well as the 2nd supplementary budget for 2020.
