Gyeonggi-do, 'Short-Term Special Exhibition' of Products from 37 Social Economy Enterprises

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province is organizing a special sales exhibition for products from 37 social economy enterprises within the province.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 1st that it will hold a short-term social economy exhibition called 'Gyeongsan-na-ne Guwoljang' from the 2nd to the 4th of this month at the 3rd-floor plaza in front of Shinsegae Department Store Uijeongbu Branch.

This exhibition aims to promote products and expand sales channels for Gyeonggi Province social economy enterprises. 'Gyeongsan-na-ne' means 'Gyeonggi social economy has appeared.' This is the second event following the one held at Let's Run Park Gwacheon in July.

Thirty-seven social economy enterprises participating through a prior open recruitment will sell food products such as perilla oil, honey, and sauces, as well as fashion items.

In particular, this event will operate an eco-market called 'Heonot Julge Saeot Dao' (Give Old Clothes, Get New Clothes), reflecting the growing public interest in environmental and social issues.

Visitors can bring discarded clothing or bags to donate or bring reusable shopping bags and receive event coupons that can be used to purchase other products.

Participating companies are also reducing the use of plastic items and disposables, actively utilizing natural materials such as fabric and wood, and converting single-use promotional materials like sales stands and notices into reusable items for sale.

The final exhibition of this year will be held at Starfield Hanam from September 30 to October 3.

Kim Young-cheol, Director of the Communication and Cooperation Bureau of the province, said, "It is very meaningful to hold the first short-term social economy exhibition in northern Gyeonggi for Chuseok," and urged, "We ask for active participation in purchasing social economy products and engaging in valuable consumption and actions through this event."
