[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Lotte Mart announced on the 14th that from the 17th to the 23rd, it will offer fresh ginseng, known for boosting energy during the summer, at a sensational price of 992 won per root at all stores.


During the event period, L.Point members who pay with the event card will receive a 20% discount off the selling price. Additionally, reflecting recent trends, salad-use baby ginseng and pre-cleaned ginseng for convenient cooking will also be available at a 20% discounted price. Nambalsam, which has many roots but irregular shapes and thus lower value, will also be sold.



A Lotte Mart official said, “This event was planned to support ginseng farmers who are struggling due to a sharp decline in ginseng demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,” adding, “We will continue to expand events that can reduce the burden on customers’ shopping baskets.”
