Jeju tangerine to be traded at EaT, an online marketplace
Jeju Island opened an online direct marketing channel in an attempt to help tangerine farmers severely battered by the recent coronavirus shock. The local authorities announced the launch of an online auction on Apr. 17 that opens every Wednesday through the digital platform at Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (abbr. aT) in which Jeju tangerines are traded nationwide.
When a farmer uploads product information to bid for onto the aT digital marketplace, after going through a series of process for quality inspection, the Internet auction house opens. When the products introduced online are sold to a bidder, the price of goods will be paid to the farmer, who’ll then get ready for delivery.
At the first and the second round of the online bidding, that opened on Apr. 1 and 8, almost 1,370 boxes of Jeju tangerines (4,684Kg) worth KRW 3 million were all sold out.
