AGR-344 · Physical wholesale market · Busan, South Korea · KRW

Busan International Fish Market is a public wholesale market at Gamcheon Port in Busan. The administration identifies September 2008 as its opening date and describes a role in international seafood distribution. Importers and wholesalers should establish which participating trading company will receive or supply their consignment. Busan International Fish Market and Busan Cooperative Fish Market are different institutions; statistics or contact details belonging to one should not be transferred to the other.

The administration's facility profile lists 45,334 square metres of land and 80,388 square metres of total floor area. These are infrastructure measurements within that profile's scope, without a specified measurement year. They should not be equated with the whole port complex or treated as current turnover indicators. Building size alone also says little about the availability of a particular species or storage condition.

The official product list includes frozen pollock, yellow croaker, surimi, shrimp, king crab, octopus and mackerel, alongside fresh and live fish. Entries are organised by participating wholesalers. Inclusion in this list is not a guarantee of stock on a particular day. An enquiry should specify presentation as well as species: whole fish, peeled shrimp meat and prepared surimi are different trading products, with different processing yields and handling needs.

Korea's public data portal describes an API containing auction date, item, box quantity, kilogram weight, origin, grade and price in Korean won. Weight and box fields must be interpreted together. A price denominated in KRW does not, by itself, establish whether the amount concerns a package, a lot or a unit of weight.

Sellers should prepare a lot specification, storage temperature, production or catch dates, net weight and origin documents. Buyers should agree quality inspection, release deadlines, storage charges and transport responsibilities before committing to collection. For imports, first establish with the counterparty whether the specific product can be accepted and how clearance will be organised. A market name and administration address are insufficient instructions for routing a container to its correct warehouse. Request delivery directions from the company handling the transaction and preserve those instructions with the purchase order.
