Seogwipo City conducts surprise inspections on products other than citrus fruits... 1.2 tons detected

[Korean Farmers' Newspaper, Reporter Kang Jae-nam] As the price of this year's open-field mandarin oranges is showing a bullish trend, inspections of mandarin oranges outside the wholesale market are being strengthened. Jeju Seogwipo City reported that some wholesalers were caught in the act of distributing mandarin oranges outside the wholesale market, leading to a focused inspection at the Garak-dong Agricultural and Marine Products Wholesale Market in Seoul, where 4 cases, totaling 1.2 tons of mandarin oranges outside the wholesale market, were detected. The city is pushing for surprise joint inspections within and outside the province, primarily targeting habitual violators, to cut off the distribution of mandarin oranges outside the wholesale market at the source, coinciding with the peak season for the shipment of early-ripening open-field mandarin oranges. This inspection outside the wholesale market targeted products shipped by wholesalers where illegal activities were detected.
