Guri Agricultural & Fisheries Corporation Launches Campaign for Fair Wholesale Market Practices

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Eom In-yong] The Guri Agricultural & Fisheries Corporation (CEO Kim Jin-su, hereinafter referred to as the Corporation) announced on the 24th that it launched the campaign "Guri Wholesale Market That Customers Want to Visit Again—Trusted" on the 20th to create a wholesale market free from scale manipulation.

The campaign brought together Corporation executives and staff, aquatic product distributors, officials from Guri City Hall, and members of the Guri branch of the Movement for Righteous Living.

The campaign was held to eradicate scale manipulation in the aquatic products zone and establish fair trading practices, designed to increase customer trust in the wholesale market and create a sound distribution environment.

In particular, the campaign focused on raising awareness about scale manipulation that may occur in aquatic product transactions and promoting the establishment of fair and transparent business practices.

Furthermore, the Corporation has amended its facility operation management regulations to take strong measures against scale manipulation that could harm customers, implementing a 15-day facility use restriction for wholesalers upon even a single violation.

Given that scale manipulation is a serious matter that can damage the wholesale market's image and cause financial harm to consumers, the Corporation plans to strengthen efforts in creating a trustworthy wholesale market environment through continuous inspections and management.

CEO Kim Jin-su of Guri Agricultural & Fisheries Corporation stated, "I hope this campaign becomes an opportunity to improve the image of aquatic products and foster voluntary ethical consciousness reform among wholesalers," adding, "We will continue to do our best to establish fair trading practices and improve customer satisfaction."
