Gyeongbuk Province Donates 5% of Sales from Agricultural Specialty Product Mall 'Saiso' to Flood Victims

Gyeongbuk Province announced on the 19th that from the 21st to August 31st, a donation campaign will be conducted in collaboration between farmers registered on the agricultural specialty product shopping mall ‘Saiseo’ and customers to support residents in the northern Gyeongbuk region who suffered significant damage due to the heavy rain that began on the 9th.

First, the registered farmers agreed to donate 5% of the sales amount from ‘Saiseo’ between the 21st and August 31st to the residents of the affected areas.

A Gyeongbuk Province official stated, “During the 40 days of the donation campaign, sales are expected to reach 400 million KRW, and 5% of the total, 20 million KRW, will be donated to the flood-affected residents.”

Additionally, a heavy rain damage support campaign page will be opened on the Saiseo website, where customers can write supportive and encouraging comments on a “Love Thermometer.”

When 1,000 supportive comments are posted, the thermometer will reach 100℃, and an additional 10 million KRW will be donated to the affected areas from the existing accumulated Saiseo sales commission fund of over 100 million KRW.

This campaign is expected to greatly contribute not only to practical donations for the affected residents but also to spreading comfort and a donation atmosphere through the supportive and encouraging comments from Saiseo consumers.

Kim Ju-ryeong, Director of the Agricultural and Livestock Distribution Bureau of Gyeongbuk Province, said, “We hope this online event will provide small comfort and strength to residents who have lost their homes and are struggling due to the heavy rain. Saiseo will continue to do its best as a public shopping mall to ensure coexistence between producers and consumers.”
