[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Hyundai Green Food announced on the 2nd that it will hold a consumption promotion event for eco-friendly (organic and pesticide-free) agricultural product producers in the Gyeongnam region who have suffered damage due to the reduction of school meal operations.

Hyundai Green Food, a comprehensive food company affiliated with Hyundai Department Store Group, will hold a discount event for its own eco-friendly agricultural product brand ‘Sandeulnaeum’ at food halls in 16 stores nationwide, including Hyundai Department Store Apgujeong Main Store, until the 18th.

This event is part of the ‘Promotion Event for Eco-friendly Agricultural Product Distributors Due to Reduced School Meal Supply,’ hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and implemented by the Korea Eco-friendly Agriculture Association. The event will offer 20 types of eco-friendly certified (organic and pesticide-free) agricultural products (such as cucumber, paprika, chwinamul, strawberry, cherry tomato, kiwi, etc.) at discounted prices. The sales volume is about 10 tons. Prices vary according to the daily market price, with discounts ranging from 20% to 30%.

A Hyundai Green Food official said, “Most domestic eco-friendly agricultural product producers are facing difficulties due to remote classes and the reduction of school meal operations caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic,” adding, “We hope this event will provide some help to domestic eco-friendly agricultural product producers who are struggling to secure sales channels due to the suspension of school meals.”
