[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] On the 24th, Gyeongsangnam-do held a delivery ceremony for domestic seafood ritual packages in front of the provincial government building and plans to expand a good consumption campaign where 'consumers come first' in seeking domestic seafood.

Recently, domestic fishermen have suffered serious damage due to overlapping adverse factors such as sluggish consumption caused by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and an increase in imported seafood. Moreover, previously promoted consumption promotion events had only temporary effects.

Accordingly, the province initiated the good consumption campaign with the purpose of increasing demand for domestic seafood by encouraging consumers to seek domestic seafood first and revitalizing the domestic fishing industry.

At the delivery ceremony attended by Governor Kim Kyung-soo, Ok Eun-sook, Chairperson of the Provincial Council's Agriculture, Fisheries and Marine Affairs Committee, and Choi Pan-gil, Chairman of the Gyeongnam Fisheries Cooperative Association, 750 sets of domestic seafood ritual packages were donated to neighbors in need.

The donation included participation from Korea Land and Housing Corporation, Korea South-East Power Co., Ltd., Goseong Green Power Co., Ltd., as well as the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives Gyeongnam Headquarters and concerned citizens.

Governor Kim, who attended the delivery ceremony, said, “The quality of Gyeongnam seafood has not been properly evaluated. It would be great if seafood produced in the clean waters of the southern coast could be exported not only domestically but also overseas,” and added, “We will do our best to help and give hope to the province’s fishermen.”
