Busan Port Authority Hosts Seafood Market 'Dahamkke Chachacha'

Busan Port Authority (BPA) will hold the 'Together ChaChaCha Season 5' charity event with public institutions in the Busan area and Busan Port container terminal operators on the 21st from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Yongho Byeolbit Park.

This event is jointly hosted by Busan Port Authority, Busan Urban Corporation, Korea South-East Power, Korea Fisheries Resources Agency, and nine Busan Port container terminal operators.

'Together ChaChaCha Season 5' is an event aimed at promoting seafood consumption to support local fishing villages while allowing citizens to purchase seafood at affordable prices. All proceeds from sales will be used to support meals for children from low-income families in the region.

The Together ChaChaCha charity event started in 2020 as a 'drive-thru market' that could be used non-face-to-face during the COVID-19 pandemic when in-person activities were difficult.

BPA has used all proceeds from the cumulative sales of agricultural and marine products from the past four events, totaling about 78 million KRW, to carry out nutrition meal support projects for approximately 550 vulnerable children.

This year, the event will be held at Yongho Byeolbit Park, which transformed the old Yongho Pier into a citizen rest area, and various programs and experience booths where families can unite and children can enjoy have been prepared.

At this charity event, packages worth about 40,000 KRW consisting of various seafood will be sold at a 50% discount for 20,000 KRW.

Citizens can apply for purchase in advance on the website and then visit the site to receive the packages, and some packages can also be delivered by courier. Anyone who wishes can apply in advance through the website. All proceeds from sales will be used for nutrition support projects for children at risk of food insecurity.

Detailed information about the event can be found on the Busan Port Authority website.

To promote seafood consumption, BPA launched a seafood consumption encouragement campaign with Busan Port container terminal operators in August and employees also visited fish markets directly to purchase items to donate to nearby welfare centers.
