From June, 50% Support on Delivery Costs per Parcel... Promoting Wholesale Market Revitalization
[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Chuncheon City Agricultural and Marine Products Wholesale Market is the first wholesale market nationwide to support delivery fees for products distributed within the market.
The delivery fee support applies to products distributed within the wholesale market. It covers 50% of the delivery cost per shipment, up to a maximum of 2,000 shipments annually.
This is a proactive response to the recent construction of large-scale new apartment complexes and large supermarkets near the wholesale market.
The Agricultural and Marine Products Wholesale Market expects that supporting delivery fees will prevent consumers who used to visit the wholesale market from dispersing to large supermarkets and other places.
An official from the Agricultural and Marine Products Wholesale Market stated, "We plan to expand consumer inflow to the wholesale market, revitalize the market which has been struggling due to economic downturn and sales decline caused by COVID-19, and gradually expand the program after reviewing the business progress."
