Jindo County Fisheries Cooperative Local Food Community Center, Accelerating for October Opening

Establishing an Agricultural and Marine Products Distribution Hub and Providing Safe Food

[Jindo = Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] The Jindo County Fisheries Cooperative Local Food Community Center is in full preparation aiming to open in October.

The Local Food Community Center is being constructed with a total project cost of 12.3 billion KRW on a site at Dongoe 1-gil, Jindo-eup, Jindo-gun, with a total floor area of 5,642㎡ and three above-ground floors.

The overall store layout includes the first floor featuring a local agricultural and marine products sales area and a local food corner to satisfy various consumer needs.

The second floor will house consumer convenience facilities such as a food court, cafe, and cold storage facilities, while the third floor will consist of a complex facility with offices, a large conference room, and a parking lot.

To increase income for farming and fishing households, 350 items of local agricultural and marine products produced by 113 farming and fishing households in the area will be sold.

Operated directly by the Jindo County Fisheries Cooperative, the direct sales store plans to conduct a trial operation period to ensure successful early settlement, during which product lineups from producers will be organized and consumer promotions will be carried out.

Jindo-gun aims to expand sales channels to large cities based on the Local Food Community Center, establish a distribution hub for agricultural and marine products, and create a stable income foundation for local farmers and fishermen.

Additionally, by activating direct transactions between producers and consumers, it plans to secure price competitiveness and stable sales channels for small-scale farming and fishing households.
