Coupang to triple purchases of Ugok green watermelons to expand market access
Coupang will triple its direct purchases of Ugok green watermelons, a specialty of Goryeong County in North Gyeongsang Province, and sell them nationwide through its Rocket Fresh dawn-delivery service. The company will expand purchases from about 5,000 melons last year to about 15,000 this year, it said on May 12. The move follows an agreement with the Goryeong County Office to increase purchases from about 500 local farms and broaden sales channels.
