Suwon Agricultural & Fishery Products Wholesale Market Refreshes Aquatic Products Section After Store Relocation

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] The Suwon Agricultural & Fishery Products Wholesale Market announced on the 15th that it has relocated stores in the Aquatic Products Section and completed a renovation through repainting work.

The Aquatic Products Section of the Suwon Agricultural & Fishery Products Wholesale Market reorganizes store locations every three years based on middleman evaluations to invigorate the market and establish fair trading order. This is the first relocation since the Aquatic Products Section relocated and opened in September 2020.

Out of 55 store locations, 54 store positions were reorganized, excluding one store that entered last year. Store relocations began in August and were recently completed.

After evaluating middleman store locations (2021-2022), five groups (A through E) were determined by score ranking, with preferred store locations selected in group order.

To facilitate this process, an explanatory meeting regarding store relocation in the Aquatic Products Section was held for middlemen on July 6th, and store designations were made through group-by-group lottery draws for store selection order on July 11th.

In August, store columns and floors were repainted and signage attached to structures was removed, giving the Aquatic Products Section a clean appearance.

An official from the Suwon Agricultural & Fishery Products Wholesale Market said, "With the store relocation and repainting work completed, the market looks much cleaner and more pleasant," and added, "We will strengthen safety inspections for aquatic products so that visitors can use the Aquatic Products Section of the wholesale market with confidence."
