This event is part of the "Agricultural and Livestock Products Discount Support" program organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, and will take place for five days from February 10 to 14, the peak period for purchasing ritual food items, at two traditional markets in the city (Bongilcheon Traditional Market and Geumchon Traditional Market).

During the event period, customers who purchase domestic agricultural and livestock products at participating stores can receive a refund in the form of Onnuri gift certificates worth 10,000 won or 20,000 won, depending on the purchase amount. The refund criteria are as follows: 10,000 won for purchases of at least 34,000 won but less than 67,000 won, and 20,000 won for purchases of 67,000 won or more. The refund limit is up to 20,000 won per person. However, the event may end early if the budget is exhausted.

Customers wishing to receive a refund must bring their same-day purchase receipts and an ID card and visit the designated refund counters set up within each market.

Eligible items for refunds are domestic agricultural products and livestock products. Imported agricultural and livestock products, corporate card payments, and Zero Pay mobile gift certificate payments are excluded from eligibility. To receive a refund, customers must present a card slip or cash receipt issued by the store.

Kim Eunhee, Director of the Paju Agricultural Technology Center, said, "I hope this event will help ease, even a little, the burden on citizens who are worried about soaring prices ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, and provide an opportunity for traditional market merchants to increase their sales," adding, "I hope you will enjoy a generous and abundant Lunar New Year holiday with high-quality, fresh domestic agricultural and livestock products."
