[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Koo Dae-sun] Gyeongju City, Gyeongbuk Province, is selling agricultural, livestock, and marine products at significantly discounted prices to reduce the burden on ordinary citizens' grocery expenses for the Lunar New Year.

According to Gyeongju City on the 9th, various items are on discount events including 10-20% off on agricultural specialties, up to 21% off on Gyeongju Cheonnyeon Hanwoo, and 30% off on marine products purchase amounts.

Agricultural specialties such as rice, mushrooms, and honey are offered at a 20% discount on Gyeongju Mall, and a 10% discount is provided only at offline stores including the main branch and Bulguk branch of Gyeongju City Agricultural Specialties Store.

Additionally, during the event period, a 5,000 won coupon is given upon new registration on Gyeongju Mall.

The event period is from the 9th to the 24th, and agricultural specialties ordered online by the 16th are expected to be delivered before the Lunar New Year holiday.

Gyeongju Cheonnyeon Hanwoo can be purchased at up to 21% discounted prices from the 9th to the 21st at Gyeongju City Agricultural Specialties Sales Stores in Eodong, Bomun, Angang, Yonghwang, and the main branch (Yonggang).

Marine products will be discounted up to 30% for one week from the 14th to the 21st at Seongdong Market (44 stores) and Jungang Market (30 stores), and the discount amount will be given as Onnuri gift certificates.

A Gyeongju City official said, “At participating stores in the market, if you bring the same-day purchase receipt and ID for domestic marine products only, you can receive a refund equivalent to 30% of the purchase amount in Onnuri gift certificates in units of 5,000 won, with a refund limit of up to 20,000 won per person. However, receipts issued by general restaurants, stores not participating in the program, receipts for non-domestic marine products, or receipts without price details are not eligible for refunds.”

Mayor Joo Nak-young of Gyeongju said, “In the current situation of sustained high prices, I hope this Lunar New Year agricultural, livestock, and marine products sales promotion event will help reduce household price burdens. Gyeongju City will also monitor key items sensitive to living costs and focus administrative efforts on revitalizing livelihoods for the economic stability of ordinary citizens.”
