[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daeseop] The Small Enterprise and Market Service announced on the 20th that Chairman Jo Bonghwan participated in the 'Flower Bucket Challenge.'

The Flower Bucket Challenge is a public relay campaign that started in February to help flower farmers whose sales channels were blocked due to the cancellation of various events caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). The campaign proceeds by having the nominated person participate and then nominate the next participant.

Chairman Jo Bonghwan joined the campaign upon the nomination of Cho Yongman, President of the Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation. On the day, Chairman Jo visited the Daejeon Flower Farmers Cooperative and purchased flowerpots to be delivered to 80 households, including elderly living alone and single-parent families. He also listened to the difficulties faced by small business cooperatives in operating during COVID-19 and discussed solutions.

Chairman Jo nominated Son Byungseok, President of Korea Railroad Corporation, as the next participant in the Flower Bucket Challenge campaign.

Jo Bonghwan, Chairman of the Small Enterprise and Market Service, said, "This activity is meaningful as it fosters a win-win cooperation culture by supporting flower farmers' sales channels through collaboration between cooperatives and the Small Enterprise and Market Service, revitalizing local communities." He added, "I hope these flowers convey hope to the 6.4 million small business owners and citizens who are struggling due to COVID-19, heavy rain, and heatwaves."
