Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries to Host 'Haneo' Seafood Promotion Event in Sejong on June 18–19

The Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries announced today (June 17) that it will hold the '2nd Special Event for Promoting Consumption of 'Haneo' by Fishing Industry Check-off Groups' in Sejong City from June 18 to 19.

'Haneo' is a joint brand created by fishing industry check-off groups, referring to seafood caught in Korean waters.

The Ministry explained that this event was organized by four producer groups—specializing in sea eel, red snow crab, yellow croaker, and skate—with the goal of expanding the consumption of domestic seafood.

These groups will sell major seafood products and processed goods at discounts ranging from 20% to 40%.

In addition, consumer-participatory programs such as free tastings and prize giveaways will be available.

Choi Hyun-ho, Director General of the Fisheries Policy Office at the Ministry, stated, "The fishing industry check-off program is an autonomous market response system that uses funds raised by fishermen to stabilize the supply and demand of seafood," adding, "We will continue to provide support to vitalize these check-off groups and promote the consumption of domestic seafood."
