Through this, it is expected that product sales using parcel delivery will become easier. In the case of local traditional markets that need to secure distant customers due to population decline in the region, there have been difficulties in long-distance sales due to lack of promotional methods, parcel delivery cost burdens, and poor accessibility of delivery vehicles. Cho Joo-hyun, Vice Minister of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, said, "We express our gratitude to Hanjin for voluntarily cooperating to support the distribution of traditional markets," adding, "We hope this agreement will serve as an opportunity to increase the interest and support of large corporations for traditional markets."
