Guri Agricultural and Marine Products Wholesale Market, Up to 30% Refund on Seafood Purchases On-site

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province will hold an Onnuri Gift Certificate refund event as part of measures to counter the decline in seafood consumption caused by the discharge of contaminated water from Fukushima, Japan.

Gyeonggi Province announced that from the 31st of this month to the 14th of next month, at the Guri City Agricultural and Marine Products Wholesale Market, they will hold an Onnuri Gift Certificate refund event where up to 30% of the seafood purchase amount on the same day will be refunded on-site in Onnuri Gift Certificates.

The Onnuri Gift Certificate refund event is part of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries’ seafood mutual discount support project, aimed at promoting the consumption of domestic seafood to recover consumer sentiment weakened by the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

If customers bring the card receipt or cash receipt for the purchase of domestic seafood made on the same day to the event booth, they can receive a refund in Onnuri Gift Certificates up to 20,000 KRW per person over one week, depending on the purchase amount.

Eligible items for the refund include domestic seafood and processed foods made using domestic raw materials such as salted seafood. However, items discounted by the Seafood Expo Zero Pay online gift certificate, government stockpiled seafood release items, general restaurants, and imported seafood are excluded.

Kim Seong-gon, Director of the Marine and Fisheries Division of Gyeonggi Province, said, "As seafood consumption sentiment worsens due to the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, we hope this event will help the seafood industry. Gyeonggi Province will strive to revitalize seafood consumption through the disclosure of safety investigation results at production and distribution stages, as well as seafood discount events linked to local events in each city and county."

Meanwhile, Gyeonggi Province will hold a discount event on September 2-3 at the Gungpyeong Port Seafood Center in Hwaseong City, selling farmed flatfish at 20,000 KRW per 1kg instead of 30,000 KRW, and seasoned seaweed packs at 10,000 KRW instead of 15,000 KRW.
