The Seoul Agro-Fisheries & Food Corporation will begin trading packaged chives, garlic, ginger, and dried red pepper items on a pallet basis at the Garak-dong Agricultural and Fishery Wholesale Market on October 2nd. A grace period will be in place until November 30 for small farms to adjust, after which non-pallet shipments and transactions will be banned. The Seoul Metropolitan Government is modernizing facilities to promote pallet-based transactions for 11 items traded in the second vegetable building, scheduled to complete in the second half of next year. Seoul Corporation offers rental fee support for pallets and subsidies to shippers for three years. The goal is to reduce re-sorting costs, increase handling efficiency, and improve working conditions for cargo workers.
