Jindo-gun Holds Promotion Event for Clean Sea Area Jindo Abalone

A promotional discount event for abalone was held through large retailers to boost sales of Jindo abalone.

On the 17th, Jindo County announced that a promotional event for Jindo abalone was recently held at over 40 large marts in Jindo under the theme "Jindo Arirang Clean Seafood Direct Purchase Event."

The Jindo sea in the clean waters of the southwestern coast has a developed cold water zone and fast currents, resulting in Jindo abalone with fewer attachments on their shells. According to Jindo County, the abalone's flesh is firm and chewy, providing an excellent texture when eaten.

Additionally, Jindo abalone feed on seaweed and kelp cultivated directly by local fishermen, and they are rich in various essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, making them popular among consumers.

A customer who purchased Jindo abalone during this discount event said, "I was satisfied with my purchase, impressed by the excellent quality and affordable price unique to Jindo abalone," adding, "I prepared a nourishing meal with Jindo abalone for my family, who were tired from the hot weather."

The event, which lasted for a total of two weeks, reportedly achieved sales of more than 7.5 tons of Jindo abalone, amounting to approximately 150 million KRW.

A Jindo County official stated, "We take pride in the top quality of Jindo abalone, known as the ginseng of the sea, grown in the clean waters of Jindo," and added, "We will continue to focus on consistent quality management and developing various sales channels so that consumers can trust and seek out Jindo seafood."
