Gyeonggi-do to Offer 20% Discount on Agricultural, Livestock, and Fisheries Products Until Next Month 10th... 25 Billion Won Supplementary Budget Allocated

Gyeonggi Provincial Government

Gyeonggi Province is holding a discount event on agricultural, livestock, and marine products in preparation for the kimchi-making season.

On the 17th, Gyeonggi Province announced that to promote the consumption of local agricultural products and reduce the burden of grocery prices for consumers, it will hold an event until the 10th of next month where customers purchasing agricultural, livestock, and marine products produced in the province at the Gyeonggi Agricultural and Marine Products Promotion Agency, large supermarkets, and local food direct stores will receive a 20% discount on the purchase price.

Earlier, Gyeonggi Province secured an additional budget of 25 billion KRW for the ‘Agricultural, Livestock, and Marine Products Discount Coupon Support Project’ to urgently respond to supply instability of agricultural and marine products and rising food and dining prices.

Initially, the discount support limit was set at 20,000 KRW per person per day, but considering the increased consumer price burden due to rising prices of main ingredients ahead of the kimchi-making season, the discount limit was raised to 60,000 KRW per person per day.

The increased discount limit for the kimchi-making season will be available at a total of 257 locations, including 123 local food direct stores, 133 eco-friendly stores, and 1 Market Gyeonggi location, until the 10th of next month.

Participating businesses can be checked on the Gyeonggi Agricultural and Marine Products Promotion Agency website.

Offline, a 20% discount is applied immediately upon product purchase, while on online malls such as Market Gyeonggi, consumers can download and apply a 20% discount coupon themselves when paying for eligible products.

The discount-supported items include Gyeonggi rice, locally produced fruits, and eggs at large and medium-sized supermarkets, while all products produced in Gyeonggi Province are eligible at local food direct stores, eco-friendly stores, and Market Gyeonggi.

Park Jong-min, Director of the Gyeonggi Province Agricultural, Livestock, and Life Sciences Bureau, stated, "Through this increase in discount support during the kimchi-making season, we expect to reduce the burden of grocery prices and provide an opportunity to purchase high-quality agricultural, livestock, and marine products from Gyeonggi Province at affordable prices, while also contributing to increasing farmers' incomes."
