Lotte Super Offers Pre-Orders for Gangwon-do Sumi Potatoes... "60% Cheaper Compared to Market Price"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Lotte Super announced on the 9th that it will conduct a pre-order sale of Gangwon-do Sumi potatoes from the 10th to the 16th. This event aims to help local farmers who are struggling due to the recent decrease in school meal ingredients caused by COVID-19 and to reduce the burden of grocery prices for customers.

The potatoes introduced this time were harvested last October in the Daegwallyeong area and stored in a cold storage facility by the Potato Seed Promotion Institute. The Sumi variety is characterized by a high starch content, making it fluffy when baked or steamed, with a bright color and thin skin.

L.POINT members can purchase 10kg for 13,000 won when applying the ‘Nonghal Gapsida’ event. This price is about 60% cheaper compared to the market price of new potatoes in the first week of March.

A Lotte Super official said, “We planned this sale to help customers who are having difficulty purchasing essential ingredients due to the soaring prices of various food products recently,” adding, “We hope you enjoy fresh potatoes at an affordable price.”
