The Gyeonggi Province Special Judicial Police for Public Livelihood announced on the 16th that from the 21st of this month to the 9th of next month, they will conduct a crackdown on illegal activities targeting a total of 360 places, including companies that purchased imported grains (rice, soybeans) through the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation and restaurants that ultimately consume through those companies.
