The Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation announced on the 21st that President Kim Chun-jin visited the Geoje Agricultural and Marine Products Distribution Center Hanaro Mart located in Geoje City, Gyeongnam Province, on the 18th to inspect preparations for the '2024 Agro-Food Voucher Pilot Project' scheduled to be implemented in March this year.

The Agro-Food Voucher Pilot Project provides electronic card-type vouchers that can be used to purchase domestic agricultural products such as vegetables, fruits, and meat to support nutritional supplementation for low-income vulnerable groups and to establish a sustainable agro-food consumption base.

President Kim, who inspected the site, said, "Recently, the actual food expenses of low-income households have been continuously decreasing, and the intake of fresh and nutritious food is also insufficient," adding, "We hope that this project will help improve nutritional intake imbalances caused by income disparities."
