The 'Local Product Store Entry Support Project,' newly launched this year, aims to support online sales channels for local small business owners. Four regional online malls (Namdo Jangteo, Gangwon The Mall, Daejeon Sarang Mall, and Nong Sarang) have been designated as implementing agencies. The project supports entry into dedicated local product sections, participation in regional events with both online and offline linked sales, and private platform MD purchasing consultations. This year, a total of 430 small business owners are being supported through the project.
