[Korean Farmers and Fishermen Newspaper Reporter Du-hyun Lee] The government has pulled out the card of mandatory imposition of poor performance ratings on the bottom 10% of wholesale market corporations. Emphasizing that continued poor evaluations could lead to the actual cancellation of the designation of wholesale corporations, the pressure level is being increased with the strategy of encouraging wholesale corporations to make efforts to strengthen the public nature and supply stability functions of the agricultural products wholesale market by themselves. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT) held a '2025 Agricultural Products Wholesale Market Development Plan Stakeholders Workshop' at the Lotte Resort in Buyeo, Chungnam, on November 26-27. This workshop aimed to increase the understanding of agricultural products distribution policies among agricultural products wholesale distribution stakeholders.
