[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Namseoul Nonghyup (Chairman Ahn Yong-seung) held a 'Namseoul Nonghyup Hanaro Mart Day' local agricultural products sales event on the 15th at Namseoul Nonghyup Hanaro Mart Umyeon Branch.

This event was organized to support rural and local Nonghyups facing difficulties in agricultural product distribution channels due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and to provide healthy food to urban residents. It was held in collaboration with Songsan Nonghyup in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, where approximately 3.6 tons (worth 24 million KRW) of 'Songsan Grapes' were sold.

In particular, this event was held as part of the 'Seoul Nonghyup Hanaro Mart Day,' which the Nonghyup Seoul Regional Headquarters has been promoting since April to support agriculture and rural areas through the promotion of consumption and sales activation of domestic agricultural and livestock products.

Meanwhile, Namseoul Nonghyup is an urban Nonghyup leading the practice of 'urban-rural coexistence' through initiatives such as opening the Seocho Sharing Agricultural Products Direct Market in 2015, launching local food stores, providing interest-free advance payments for shipments from local Nonghyups, and holding agricultural product sales events.

Ahn Yong-seung, Chairman of Namseoul Nonghyup, emphasized, "We will continue to hold local agricultural product sales events so that our farmers can focus on farming without worrying about distribution channels." Lee Dae-yeop, Director of Nonghyup Seoul Regional Headquarters, said, "We promise to provide safe food to urban residents and hope that you will actively support our domestic agricultural and livestock products."
