"Cabbage and kimchi 20% off"…Emart, starting from the 6th, "Kimchi-Making Fair"

(Seoul=Yonhap News) Reporter Sin Seon-mi = E-Mart [139480] announced on the 4th that it will hold a 'Kimchi Festival' from the 6th to the 12th.

During the event, a bundle of napa cabbage (3 bunches) and a bunch of garlic chives will be sold for less than 6,000 won each with a 20% discount when accumulated with Shinsegae Points.

Additionally, 1,000 points of e-money, which can be used like cash in the store, will be accumulated for each purchase. The accumulated e-money can be used for two weeks starting from the day after the purchase.

E-Mart explained that it was able to maintain the event price at last year's level by purchasing a total of 2,700 tons, including the volume of the Trader's and Every Day events.

As of the 31st of last month, the wholesale price of napa cabbage at Garak Market was 17,100 won per 10 kg, which is 23% higher than a year ago.

This is due to the deterioration of napa cabbage yield caused by high temperatures and autumn rains during the napa cabbage planting season.

E-Mart also offers a 20% discount on pickling napa cabbage, garlic chives, ginger, scallions, and green onions, which are ingredients for kimchi, when accumulated with Shinsegae Points.

Additionally, raw oysters, pork belly, and beef heart, which see increased demand during the kimchi season, will also be sold with a 20% discount when accumulated with Shinsegae Points.
