Jangseong-gun Recruiting Operators for 'Jangseongho Waterfront Market' Until the 28th

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 25th that it is recruiting operators ahead of the opening of the 2022 ‘Jangseongho Waterfront Market’.

The ‘Jangseongho Waterfront Market’ is a representative direct agricultural product market operated by the county, consisting of a total of 9 buildings.

Fresh agricultural and specialty products produced in Jangseong are sold at low prices without any intermediate distribution process, resulting in high consumer satisfaction.

Despite the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic last year, total sales reached 319 million KRW (276% compared to the previous year).

This year, the county plans to operate the Waterfront Market on weekends and public holidays from March to December.

There will be general booths operating for 10 months and seasonal booths (2 months) for farmers or groups who find long-term operation difficult due to the nature of agricultural products.

Applicants must be farmers or groups who have had an address in the county since before the recruitment announcement date and directly produce or process local agricultural specialty products.

Farmers (groups) wishing to apply can visit the Agricultural Technology Center’s Agricultural Food Distribution Division by the 28th to submit their applications.

A county official said, “We will actively support the operation of the Waterfront Market this year as well to increase farm income and revitalize the local economy,” and added, “We ask many local farmers to participate.”
