[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Jinju City in Gyeongnam announced on the 22nd that it has signed a business agreement with three private delivery app platform companies to reduce the delivery brokerage fee burden on small business owners and to promote the Jinju Love Gift Certificate.

This business agreement was promoted according to the ‘Jinju-type Delivery App Construction Project’ with a 2% commission fee to reduce the burden on small business owners caused by the high brokerage fees of 6-12% charged by existing delivery apps.

Last month, the city received proposals from private-public partnership delivery app operators, evaluated their operational capabilities, selected three companies, and plans to recruit franchise stores for pilot operation before officially opening around February next year.

The city will be responsible for administrative support and promotion to activate the delivery app and will cooperate to promote the use of local currency payments.

Mayor Cho Gyu-il said, “The Jinju-type public-private partnership delivery app will help local small business owners struggling with management difficulties due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and allow payments with local currency, becoming a model case of public-private win-win cooperation.” He added, “We ask for the active use and cooperation of citizens to overcome the COVID-19 crisis early and revitalize the local economy.”
