[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Jongno-gu (Mayor Kim Young-jong) will operate the '2021 Chuseok Non-face-to-face Direct Transaction Market' from the 3rd to the 10th in celebration of the upcoming traditional holiday, Chuseok.

Every year before the holiday, the district has held direct transaction markets based on the participation of sister cities. This is to provide residents with high-quality local agricultural products and specialties at affordable prices.

However, considering the difficulty of on-site sales due to social distancing this year, it was decided to operate the direct transaction market online.

A total of seven cities that have sister city relationships with Jongno-gu ? ▲Gokseong-gun ▲Naju-si ▲Andong-si ▲Anseong-si ▲Yeoju-si ▲Yeongwol-gun ▲Jeongeup-si ? are participating, selling over 90 fresh and excellent quality agricultural and specialty products ranging from Naju pears to chestnut sweet potatoes and bokbunja (Korean black raspberries).

This not only helps farmers struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic but also allows consumers to purchase necessary items economically at prices 10-20% lower than the market price.

For more detailed information about the products for sale, please refer to the Jongno-gu Office website.

Residents wishing to purchase can check the items on the district office website or at community service centers, then place orders by phone with the selling farms or the Job and Economy Division. After transferring the payment to the seller’s account, the order will be confirmed and delivered by courier.

Mayor Kim Young-jong said, “Through this Chuseok non-face-to-face direct transaction market, we aim to support sister cities and help local residents purchase necessary goods at prices lower than the market. Since fresh and abundant food can be safely received at home, we hope many interested people will place orders.”
