Lotte Mart "Fresh Lobster Air-Shipped Directly from Farms... Lowest Price This Year"

Models are introducing 'Canadian live lobster' at Lotte Mart Seoul Station branch in Jung-gu, Seoul.

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Lotte Mart announced on the 15th that it will offer Canadian live lobster, which is in season, at the lowest price of 2022 from the 16th to the 22nd.

Live lobster prices at the source have risen about 20% due to a global decrease in catch volume and increased demand following the endemic (periodic outbreak of infectious diseases). Lotte Mart stated that by directly trading with World Link Co., a trusted Canadian partner, it eliminates intermediate distribution steps and sells live lobster at prices up to 40% lower than market rates. To deliver the seasonal live lobster to consumers in the freshest condition, the lobsters are air-shipped directly from Canada, packed, and stocked in stores within 48 hours.

Lotte Mart said, "We have prepared 50,000 lobsters for this event, and with event card discounts, you can purchase a 400g lobster for just over 10,000 KRW and a 700g lobster for just over 20,000 KRW." This is about 35% cheaper than the regular price.

The discount event is also being held simultaneously on Lotte On, allowing customers to purchase fresh live lobster online as well.
