[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The 'Seafood Production Area Hub Distribution Center (FPC)' for distributing and selling seafood caught by fishermen in Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, will begin full-scale operation starting this month.

According to Incheon City on the 1st, the center, built at a cost of 7.75 billion KRW, is a two-story building with a total area of 2,000㎡ located in Oepo-ri, Naega-myeon, Ganghwa-gun.

The first floor is equipped with a HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) processing facility and a cold storage warehouse, while the second floor houses offices and auxiliary facilities. It is a complex facility that handles the collection, processing, and sales of seafood caught by Ganghwa fishermen in a one-stop system.

The center construction project was promoted after being selected in March 2018 as a public project by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to distribute high-quality seafood such as Ganghwa's specialty salted shrimp and to revitalize the local economy.

An official from Incheon City stated, "The center will supply hygienic and safe seafood to consumers and contribute to reducing logistics costs and increasing fishermen's income by simplifying distribution stages."
