Jeonnam Province Provides Seafood Packages to 6,000 Single-Parent Families

7 Types Including Jasuk Jeonbok, Semi-dried Ureok, and Anchovies
Easy-to-Cook Nutritious Meals... Practicing Food Welfare

Jeollanam-do announced on the 30th that it supplied nutritious seafood packages to 6,000 single-parent families in celebration of Chuseok.

The seafood packages, worth approximately 50,000 won, include seven types of seafood produced in Jeonnam such as boiled abalone, semi-dried rockfish, dried anchovies, seaweed, and kelp. They are composed of high-quality nutritious foods that are also easy to prepare.

The seafood package project was carried out with a budget of 500 million won secured through Jeonnam’s selection in the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries’ seafood win-win discount public contest in March. It is a support project for vulnerable groups alongside seafood promotion and market development activities. Last year, seafood packages were provided to self-support facilities and welfare centers for the disabled to practice food welfare.

Park Young-chae, Director of the Marine and Fisheries Bureau of Jeonnam Province, said, “Through this seafood package support, we hope it becomes a sharing Chuseok holiday for the recipient families and a revitalizing opportunity for fishing households through consumption promotion. We will also strive to promote various sales so that Jeonnam’s fresh seafood is favored as food shared with family during the holiday.”

In addition to supporting seafood packages, Jeonnam Province is conducting various promotional events to alleviate the difficulties faced by fishing households due to natural disasters such as high summer water temperatures and sluggish consumption.

Online events are being promoted, including a 20% discount sale for Chuseok on Jeonnam’s online shopping mall Namdo Jangteo, and support for delivery fees on affiliated shopping malls of the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives. They are also engaging in multifaceted sales promotion through large stores such as E-mart and GS The Fresh.
