[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Lotte Super announced on the 5th that starting from the 6th, it will hold a promotional event at over 300 stores nationwide to sell Punggi ginseng at up to half price to support farmers struggling due to COVID-19.


Lotte Super collaborated with the Punggi Ginseng Agricultural Cooperative to secure approximately 15 tons of 6-year-old ginseng. In particular, they prepared a variety of products to choose from according to usage purposes, such as "6-year-old Punggi ginseng," "6-year-old washed ginseng," and "6-year-old Punggi two-root ginseng."


Punggi ginseng is cultivated in the excellent soil and climatic conditions rich in organic matter of the Sobaeksan foothills. It has firm internal tissue, a high saponin content, and many fine roots. Additionally, it has a strong ginseng aroma, making it a preferred choice among consumers.



A Lotte Super official said, "This event was planned to help about 800 Punggi ginseng farmers who are facing difficulties due to the cancellation of local festivals caused by COVID-19," adding, "We hope this opportunity will help support farmers through ginseng purchases and also promote health."
