At the Gokseong-gun Local Food Direct Store, anticipating an increase in consumers during the Seol holiday, they are handling about 150 different items, which is about 50 more than usual.

A direct store official said, “This is a great opportunity for farmers who have been struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic to sell fresh agricultural products without intermediary distribution margins.” A county official added, “We hope people will support farmers by purchasing local products and express their gratitude to their cherished acquaintances during Seol.”
