This market will be held at Seoul Plaza for three days from September 24 to 26. Hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, it aims to provide practical sales channels for producers and promote regional cooperation, with participation from 10 provinces and cities nationwide and over 130 farms.

Representing Gangwon Province, 19 farms from 13 cities and counties will offer more than 100 signature agricultural and marine products from the region-including Korean beef, traditional liquor, apples, mushrooms, wild greens, rice cakes, fermented sauces, dried pollack, dried pollack fillets, salted seafood, and seaweed-to Seoul citizens at discounts of 20 to 30 percent.

The province will operate an integrated promotional booth to publicize the Agricultural and Marine Products Authenticity Center (Gangwon Food Market), the Gangwon Resident Lifestyle System, and the Hometown Love Donation Program. In addition, each day, the first 100 customers who purchase Gangwon products worth more than 30,000 won will receive a variety of gifts, such as 'Gangwon Korean Beef Bone Soup (500ml),' 'Gangwon Ginseng Red Ginseng Candy (200g),' 'Bugak (Yangyang),' 'Deodeok Liquor (Yeongwol),' and 'Totomi Rice (Wonju).'

Seok Sungkyun, Director of Agricultural Policy for Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, said, "We hope that this Seoro Market, held ahead of Chuseok, will serve as an opportunity to promote the excellence of Gangwon’s agricultural and marine products and enhance the image of pristine Gangwon. We will also provide active support so that participating farmers can expand their sales channels and increase their income."
