Emart cited the introduction of mango tariff quotas with direct discounts, bulk purchasing, and improvements in the distribution structure as reasons for being able to offer mangoes and oranges at such low prices. They also reduced intermediate distribution stages by selling in bulk (unpackaged display) and lowered prices by planning a volume four times higher than usual weekly sales for one week.

In addition, Emart will offer discounted prices on ▲Cara Cara oranges ▲Halo mandarins ▲Daejeo tomatoes ▲Autumn Crispy apples ▲Black Sapphire grapes ▲and other grapes. Myungjin Ahn, head of Emart’s fruit team, said, "To ease the burden of fruit prices amid high inflation, we are holding various fruit discount events starting with mangoes, oranges, and tomatoes," adding, "We will continue to hold various fresh food events to reduce the burden on customers’ shopping baskets."
