Ansan is a public wholesale market in Sangnok-gu covering agricultural produce and a separate fish department. The city website lists two produce trading organisations and one fish company. Its core assortment includes fruit, vegetables and mushrooms, while the fish section handles different forms of aquatic products. A purchaser organising supplies should distinguish the site administration from the business that will actually issue an invoice.
KAWA statistics refer to Ansan Nongsanmul Co., which handled 27,766 tonnes and KRW 60,463 million in 2024. Its history describes developments in cooled fruit handling and apple storage. The figures illustrate the scale and development of one business, not the combined trading value of the whole market. They also do not establish spare cold-storage capacity for a new customer. A fruit buyer should ask whether the required temperature can be maintained between order assembly and collection and whether storage is included in the quotation.
For pears purchased for resale, useful specifications include fruit count per carton, protective packaging and the remaining shelf life required. Gift packs and ordinary wholesale cartons can involve different costs, so comparing them only by the fruit name can lead to a misleading result.
A supplier should send a lot specification, proposed arrival date and origin information, then obtain acceptance from the particular receiving company. Agree the selling method, unloading cost, commission, payment date and treatment of goods that fail the agreed quality specification. A food-service buyer can ask about smaller assembled orders and regular collections, but these services are not treated as guaranteed here. Fish purchases require separate contacts and transport conditions. The published department structure does not establish one auction timetable or identical access rights across every area. Before visiting, confirm the building, stall number and meeting time; before dispatch, obtain unloading instructions as well. Record the counterparty's identity on the order rather than using only the market's administrative name.
What is priced: Fruit, Vegetables and potatoes, Fruit and vegetables, Fish and seafood, Honey, hops, tobacco and other speciality crops
