Korea Racing Authority to Operate Direct-Trade Market with Rural and Fishing Communities
Published
The Korea Racing Authority has reportedly begun operating a "Urban-Rural Win-Win Direct-Trade Market" in partnership with local farming and fishing communities. At this market, farmers and fishers sell the agricultural, livestock, and marine products they produce directly to consumers. The goal is to reduce intermediate distribution steps so that both producers and consumers can benefit.
The direct-trade market offers city residents an opportunity to buy fresh agricultural and marine products at relatively reasonable prices. It also allows farming households and fishing households in rural and fishing areas to expand their sales channels and increase their incomes. The name "Dodong-Sangsaeng," meaning mutual prosperity between cities and rural areas, reflects the idea that urban and rural communities cooperate and grow together.
The Korea Racing Authority says it will continue its social contribution activities in cooperation with local farming and fishing communities. The effects of this market on the local economy will need to be watched in the future. Detailed schedules and locations can be confirmed through the official announcements of the Korea Racing Authority.
