From September 22 to October 2, the city will focus on traditional markets and large retail stores to promote the origin labeling system and conduct intensive inspections. Key items under management include agricultural and marine products used for ancestral rites and gifts. If any suspected violations are found, guidance and corrective measures will be provided on-site, and additional verification procedures will be carried out if necessary.

In particular, on September 22, a citizen participation promotional campaign was held in the Deokjeong Market area, where origin labeling monitors and city officials guided merchants on proper labeling methods and distributed leaflets, while also carrying out promotional activities targeting citizens.

An official from Yangju City stated, "Since demand for agricultural and marine products peaks during the Chuseok holiday season, proper origin labeling must be strictly observed. We will do our utmost to create a trustworthy distribution environment for citizens by promoting and inspecting origin labeling simultaneously."
