Planned site for the Daegu Social Economy Distribution Support Center.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Ju Cheolin] Daegu City announced on the 21st that it has been selected for the Ministry of the Interior and Safety's 'Social Economy Distribution Support Center' public project.

The Social Economy Distribution Support Center is a distribution and sales facility that can be jointly used by social economy enterprises such as village enterprises, cooperatives, social enterprises, and self-support enterprises scattered throughout the region.

The city will establish the Social Economy Distribution Support Center 'Saengjon (生ZONE)' on the second floor of the Daegu Enterprise Premium Hall near Yongsan Station in Dalseo-gu, covering approximately 400㎡, in October.

Over two years starting this year, a total of 900 million KRW, including 500 million KRW in national funds, will be invested to provide stable sales channels for social economy enterprises through joint marketing and joint sales.

'Saengjon' is a platform built through cooperation and solidarity among social economy enterprises, combining the last characters of 'Sangsaeng' (co-prosperity) and 'Gongjon' (coexistence).

A distribution integrated management system linked to 15 local food sales outlets operating in Daegu and Gyeongbuk will be established to promote joint marketing and joint sales of social economy enterprise products.

A city official said, "This project is expected to greatly help the distribution of social economy enterprise products, which urgently need improvement in profit structure despite continuous quantitative growth."
