[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor You Deok-yeol) will operate the 'Seol Festival Agricultural and Marine Products Online Direct Market' from the 13th to the 20th in celebration of the traditional Korean holiday, Seol.
The online direct market is a non-face-to-face market prepared for the fourth time following last year to help farmers who have been struggling with sales due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.
Since it bypasses distribution companies, it is expected to be an opportunity to purchase high-quality products at affordable prices for the Seol holiday.
This direct market will feature sister cities of Dongdaemun-gu including Naju-si, Namhae-gun, Sangju-si, Sunchang-gun, Jecheon-si, Yeoju-si, Yeoncheon-gun, Eumseong-gun, Cheongsong-gun, Cheongyang-gun, Chuncheon-si, Boseong-gun, and Buan-gun, offering more than 30 items such as ▲Naju pears ▲Namhae anchovies ▲Gangwon Hanwoo beef ▲Sangju dried persimmons ▲Cheongsong apples at prices lower than market rates.
Residents wishing to purchase can order through a banner on the Dongdaemun-gu Office website that links to the online shopping mall, and if online ordering is difficult, pre-orders can also be made through the district office and local community centers.
The delivery period is from the 17th to the 28th, with products being shipped sequentially from the sister city farms to the consumers' desired delivery locations.

We ask for active use of the online direct market, which helps farmers going through tough times and allows consumers to purchase excellent agricultural and marine products at affordable prices.”
