[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Homeplus announced on the 27th that it will hold a promotional event to encourage the consumption of fresh domestic seasonal foods in autumn at nationwide stores and online malls until the 2nd of next month, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.


First, together with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Homeplus will sell major seasonal new harvest products of this year at a 20% discount to My Homeplus members to support farms affected by recent heavy rain damage.


They are offering 100 tons of excellent products from major production areas such as Hongro new apples from Chungju, Chungbuk; Mungyeong, Gyeongbuk; and Geochang, Gyeongnam, priced at 7,990 KRW, and Nonghyup Sunchang dried red chili peppers at 89,450 KRW. Other prices include Geobong grapes (box) at 11,990 KRW, zucchini (each) at 2,230 KRW, Our Land and Taeyangcho red pepper powder each at 13,520 KRW, picnic wrap vegetables (bag) at 4,790 KRW, sweet potatoes (bag) at 4,790 KRW, and Dadagi cucumbers (bag) at 3,190 KRW.


In cooperation with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, to support coastal fishing villages, My Homeplus members can purchase grilled Yeosu Spanish mackerel (thawed, per fish, extra large) at 5,590 KRW, Tongyeong conger eel for sashimi (1 pack) at 8,720 KRW, grilled Tongyeong sea eel (100g) at 3,190 KRW, seasoned sea eel ranging from 8,720 KRW to 15,920 KRW, frozen red snow crab meat at 15,120 KRW, and Signature Gijang kelp (100g) at 3,990 KRW.


Additionally, Homeplus is lowering the price of autumn fresh flower crabs, directly shipped from early morning production areas, to 1,290 KRW per 100g and 29,900 KRW per 3kg box. To ensure stable supply and price competitiveness, Homeplus plans to expand contracted fishing villages and dedicated logistics vehicles, directly shipping about 350 tons daily?the largest volume among large marts? from Anheung Port in Chungnam and Gyeokpo Port in Jeonbuk to nationwide stores until October.



The first harvested new rice of this year is secured at 100 tons and offered at a striking price of 9,990 KRW per 3kg. Grown in the Naju production area, which enjoys abundant sunlight and a mild climate, allowing relatively early harvest compared to other regions, the price was lowered to around 3,000 KRW per kg through prior large-scale volume contracts.
