"Reduce Grocery Price Burden"... Gyeonggi-do to Offer 20% Discount Coupons Until Year-End

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province will offer up to a 20% discount on local agricultural and marine products until the end of this year.

On the 22nd, Gyeonggi Province announced that it has allocated a budget of 25 billion KRW to carry out the "Gyeonggi Province Agricultural and Marine Products Discount Coupon Support Project" until the end of this year to ease the burden of soaring grocery prices.

For this project, Gyeonggi Province has designated the Gyeonggi Agricultural and Marine Products Promotion Agency as the entrusted operator.

The discount applies to everyone purchasing agricultural products produced in Gyeonggi Province, with a 20% discount per person (up to 20,000 KRW per person) available until the end of the year.

The recruitment of participating large and small supermarkets, online malls, local food direct stores in cities and counties, traditional markets, and other participating businesses will be completed by early October, when the discount benefits will be supported. However, Gyeonggi Province plans to apply the discount benefits immediately from today to users of Market Gyeonggi (smartstore.naver.com), an online sales platform for Gyeonggi agricultural and marine products operated by the Gyeonggi Agricultural and Marine Products Promotion Agency.

To ensure that the benefits of this event reach both farmers and consumers, Gyeonggi Province will also conduct joint price monitoring and origin management supervision activities with consumer and producer organizations during the project period.

Park Jong-min, Director of the Gyeonggi Agricultural, Marine, and Life Sciences Bureau, said, "This project has a triple effect of securing sales channels for Gyeonggi agricultural, livestock, and marine products, reducing the grocery price burden for residents, and supplying high-quality products," adding, "We hope many people will purchase Gyeonggi agricultural, livestock, and marine products."
