[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (NACF) announced that Chairman Lee Seong-hee visited the distribution centers in Chungju, Chungcheongbuk-do, and Anseong, Gyeonggi-do, the main production areas of apples and pears, the key items for the Chuseok holiday, on the 10th to check the supply and demand situation.

On the day, Chairman Lee visited the Chungbuk Horticultural Cooperative in Chungju and the Anseong Horticultural Cooperative in Anseong, urging them to manage the supply to ensure apples and pears are delivered smoothly during the busy Chuseok season.

To stabilize apple and pear prices during the Chuseok peak season, NACF is implementing various supply stabilization measures, including ▲expanding the contracted volume of the fruit supply stabilization project by 1.8 times compared to usual, ▲offering 100,000 boxes of 'Affordable Fruit Gift Sets' such as apples and pears at a 20% discount from market prices, and ▲promoting the consumption of domestic fruits.

Chairman Lee said, "In the holiday atmosphere where face-to-face contact is minimized due to COVID-19, NACF will do its best to supply fresh and safe domestic agricultural and livestock products to consumers at reasonable prices in a stable manner."
