Securing Sales Channels Linked to the Local Fisheries Industry

The Wando County Disabled Persons' Federation in Jeollanam-do announced on the 2nd that it is promoting an "Ice Pack Production Project as a Vocational Rehabilitation Program for People with Disabilities in 2026."


This project was launched to provide people with disabilities with stable jobs and vocational training opportunities, thereby establishing a foundation for self-reliance. Participants with disabilities are assigned tasks according to their abilities, including injecting ice pack materials, packaging, inspection, and sorting, while also receiving safety and job training. They have now begun full-scale production and sales.

The products are supplied to fisheries sales and distribution companies, traditional markets, and public institutions, leveraging Wando's strong focus on the fisheries industry. The Federation plans to utilize its distribution expertise, which enabled its "Love Companion Kimchi" to become the top seller on Coupang for four consecutive months in 2025 with sales of approximately 700 million won, to further expand its sales channels.


Chairman Cha Wook stated, "The ice pack project is an opportunity for people with disabilities to become confident economic players in the local community. We strongly encourage active participation and usage from local businesses and fisheries companies."



The Federation plans to continue developing region-specific vocational rehabilitation projects in the future to help improve the income of people with disabilities.
