Samsan Agricultural Wholesale Market in Incheon is a municipal agricultural market with an auction channel and public sales-result information. Its portal identifies wholesale companies participating in the market structure. A buyer can use this information to locate a commercial counterparty rather than treating the municipal webpage as a direct seller. Access to a quotation table is separate from registration or permission to participate in an auction, and does not reserve any listed consignment.
For 2025, the market reports 137,932 tonnes and a trading value of KRW 294,280 million, equivalent to KRW 294,280,000,000. These figures cover fruit and vegetables together. Dividing it by a count of auctions observed on one arbitrary day would mix incompatible periods and scopes. Use matching annual measures when assessing the scale of trading.
Retrieved results dated 29 October 2026 include Daebong persimmons, soybean and mung bean sprouts, taro, lotus root, garlic scapes, dried radish greens and peeled balloon flower root, known as doraji. Acorn jelly also appears. The range therefore contains products for which presentation matters. A fresh root, a peeled product and a shredded ingredient should not automatically be merged into one price series. Their usable yields, storage requirements and intended customers can differ substantially.
Buyers should check the company, variety, origin, package weight and transaction time. An auction price may refer to a package weighing several kilograms, while the number of packages is a separate measure. Identify both fields before calculating a price per kilogram. For prepared ingredients, ask about storage, shelf life and the extent of processing. Preserve stated origin for imported goods rather than assuming that everything traded at a Korean market was grown in Korea. The location of sale and the origin of production are different fields.
Sellers should identify the appropriate wholesale company and agree delivery notification, grading and settlement procedures. Clarify the treatment of weight discrepancies, rejected quality and unsold quantities. It does not guarantee a price achievable in the next sale.
What is priced: Fruit and vegetables
