This year's Chuseok Grand Market will feature participation from nine organizations, including the Center for Rural Economic and Social Service Activation, the Rural Convergence Industry Support Center, the Economic and Trade Promotion Agency, the Jeonbuk Regional Headquarters of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, the Mujinjang Livestock Cooperative, the Fisheries Specialization Support Center, the Informatization Village Council, the Social Cooperative Support Center, and the Jeonju Information & Culture Industry Promotion Agency.

During the event, a total of 49 booths will be operated, including 44 sales booths, 4 institutional promotion booths, and 1 live commerce booth.

A wide variety of products will be available, ranging from ritual offerings such as apples, pears, croaker, beef, and pork, to health foods and processed food gift sets. All products will be sold at discounts ranging from 10% to as much as 40%, which is expected to provide practical help for residents to prepare Chuseok tables at affordable prices during this period of high inflation.

The Chuseok Grand Market will not be limited to an offline event; it will also be available online through the Jeonbuk Saengsaeng Market, the province's online shopping mall, and the Korea Post ePost online marketplace.

The online market will continue until October 20, allowing purchases to be made even after the holiday.

Min Sunshik, Director of the Agricultural, Life, and Livestock Industry Bureau of Jeonbuk Province, stated, "We have prepared this Saengsaeng Village Chuseok Grand Market to be meaningful so that both village enterprises as producers and consumers can enjoy the event. We ask for the active interest and participation of all residents."
