Gimhae City in Gyeongnam will hold an Onnuri gift certificate refund event for purchases of agricultural and livestock products at five traditional markets in the region to celebrate Chuseok.

On the 29th, the city announced that five traditional markets in Gimhae were selected among 200 traditional markets nationwide for the 2025 Chuseok Agricultural and Livestock Product Discount Support Refund Event, which is organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation.

From the 10th to the 5th, if you purchase domestically produced fresh agricultural and livestock products at Dong-sang Market, Oe-dong Market, Sambang Market, Jangyu Market, and Juchon Livestock Market in Gimhae, you can receive up to 20,000 won per person, equivalent to 30% of your purchase amount, in Onnuri gift certificates.

If the store where you made your purchase enters the sales information on the agricultural and livestock product refund webpage, you can take your receipt to the refund location, verify your identity, and receive your gift certificate.

Store owners must enter the product amount and their contact information when submitting sales information on the refund webpage.

Buyers must bring identification, such as an ID card or mobile phone, along with the purchase receipt to the refund center. Proxy receipt is not allowed.

The city expects that this initiative will help ease the burden of holiday preparations for citizens amid high inflation, encourage the consumption of domestically produced agricultural and livestock products, increase producers' income, and revitalize the local economy.

A city official stated, "There may be some inconvenience as buyers need to go to the refund center after the store owner enters the sales information on the refund webpage," adding, "We ask for the citizens' understanding and active participation."
