Gyeongnam Nonghyup Hosts 'Chuseok Happiness Market' at the National Assembly

Joint Efforts Between National Assembly Members and Local Producers to Promote Excellent Agricultural Products

Gyeongnam Nonghyup announced that it will hold a Chuseok Happiness Market jointly hosted by the National Assembly and Nonghyup from the 14th to the 15th.

About 30 items, including Gyeongnam Nonghyup's representative agricultural products such as apples, pears, persimmons, garlic, onions, and new rice, will be sold at a 20-30% discount compared to market prices, along with a promotional event for the Hometown Love Donation Program.

At the lawn square of the National Assembly Communication Office, about 40 people attended, including 10 Gyeongnam members of the National Assembly, the head of Gyeongnam Nonghyup headquarters, directors of cooperative associations, and branch managers from city and county areas. Promotional activities and events were held to expand sales of excellent agricultural products by region in Gyeongnam, attracting much attention from customers.

This event was organized to support the expansion of sales channels for excellent local agricultural, livestock, and specialty products and to promote urban-rural coexistence.

Gyeongnam Nonghyup participated in the event to help farmers who are suffering from double hardships due to recent weather disasters and rising production costs, and to reduce the burden of holiday shopping prices by selling ritual agricultural products to consumers at prices lower than the market.

Kim Ju-yang, the head of the headquarters, said, “Gyeongnam Nonghyup is establishing a stable supply system for agricultural products and promoting the development and expansion of various products reflecting trends so that the excellence of Gyeongnam agricultural products can be widely promoted and lead to increased consumption.”

He added, “We will strive to have these excellent agricultural products selected as return gifts for the Hometown Love Donation Program so that urban residents take great interest in the program.”

Since the 7th, Gyeongnam Nonghyup has opened a pre-order exhibition hall for Gyeongnam agricultural, livestock, and specialty product gift sets at the Local Food Gyeongnam Integrated Center and is holding a special sales event at the same prices as the National Assembly Happiness Market until the 26th.
