The successful and very touching 2014 film "Ode to my Father " http://bit.ly/1Id1C2i

The successful Korean movie in 2014 “Gukje Market” (International Market in Busan city) or as foreigners know it “Ode to my Father”, showing the years after the Korean War, reveals the importance of local markets that have always been an important source of income for survival, transactions and cheap buying of food & other goods. However rural and local markets are more than this.

In 2013 Modularization of Korea’s Development Experience, the institution of Public Wholesale Market , its construction and management are being examined. Wholesale Market were considered the most ideal distributor among other distributors for agricultural products. By establishing Public Wholesale Market, its functions include large-scale collection and fast distribution of small-scale agricultural products intended for collecting individual, small-scale and distributed agricultural products in one
place and in a large scale to distribute them to buyers quickly, accurately and efficiently.
Agricultural products are produced in many sites across the country. This function enables
the wholesale markets to implement the rule of mass preparation and the rule of minimized
transactions, so that it is possible to reduce social distribution costs to establish efficient
distribution systems. A successful case is the opening in 1985 of the Garakdong Wholesale Market. More in www.kdevelopedia.org on Korea’s Knowledge Sharing Program on Public Wholesale Market Construction and Management http://bit.ly/1HJI1Bn
