Eliminating Distribution Margins and Enhancing Price Competitiveness through Direct Contracts and Direct Delivery from Production Sites

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] TMON (CEO Lee Jin-won) announced on the 20th that amid unstable grocery prices due to the recent rainy season, it has set the prices in its fresh food specialty section at pre-rainy season levels.


In the 'Fresh Free Delivery Section,' which sells over 150 seasonal fresh food items for under 9,900 KRW, all options are uniformly priced and free delivery is available even if only one item is purchased, with prices maintained at pre-rainy season levels. Customers can also browse by categories such as fruits, vegetables, and meat. Additionally, in the 'Fresh Free Return Section,' over 100 fresh agricultural, livestock, and seafood products are delivered free of charge, and free returns are possible if customers are dissatisfied with the quality. If the quality of the received product is unsatisfactory, a return request can be made within one day of receipt.


TMON cited direct delivery from production sites as the reason for its strengthened price competitiveness. By directly contracting and delivering with partners such as farms without intermediate distribution processes, it minimizes distribution costs and enhances freshness and price competitiveness.



Lee Jin-won, CEO of TMON, said, "The recent rise in grocery prices for vegetables and fruits is significant, but through the price competitiveness of the fresh food specialty sections such as the Fresh Free Return Section, we are striving to reduce the burden on consumers. We will continue to expand our production site partners and do our best to pass on the reduced intermediary costs through direct delivery policies as benefits to consumers."
