Seoul Turns Subway Stations Into Farmers' Markets

People in Seoul can now buy farm food inside subway stations. A small market opened at Gwanghwamun Station on November 9. Fourteen farms joined the first market. It ran for two days. Farmers sold food straight to shoppers.
The city says some prices can be up to 30 percent lower than shop prices. This does not mean every item has that saving. People can buy food on their way home from work.
From November 16, markets will open at four more stations. The programme ends on November 28. Different stations have different dates and foods. This is a short test. The city wants to try markets in more places later.
