Check the location and which stores to visit first
The location and transport options for aT Yangjae Flower Market (operated by aT, the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation) are on aT's official site. Deciding in advance which sections and stores to visit for the items you need — cut flowers, potted plants and so on — saves unnecessary walking.
Opening hours and closing days can vary by section, store and season. Check the operating notices and announcements for the day of your visit, and if you're driving, plan parking and how you'll load the flowers. You can check these through the official location, transport and market links below.
Store prices and auction winning bids are different
At a store, you confirm the variety, quantity and price with the seller and buy. Don't treat taking part in the auction directly as the same thing as buying at a regular store. If you want to know the conditions for joining the auction, check aT's guidance on it separately.
aT auction prices are reference data showing winning-bid transactions. aT notes that winning bids do not include transaction costs, so they differ from wholesale and retail prices. Don't compare the figures on the price screen directly with store prices or supply quotes; first check that they refer to the same variety, grade and unit.
How to use Yangjae auction prices in your quotes
Select a recent trading day, then check the flower name and variety specifically. Even for the same variety, a price means something different when the grade, trading unit and volume differ. Rather than looking at a single day's price, refer to the trend close to your use date.
You can also follow Yangjae auction winning-bid prices and price trends on Gunam Lab. Use this observation data for purchase planning, and confirm the varieties actually available and supply prices with a supplier's quote.
- Trading date and when the data was last updated
- Whether item, variety and grade match
- The price's base unit and trading volume
- Additional costs such as packaging and transport
- Volume actually available for your use date
Weighing market buying against supplier orders
If you need to see and choose flowers in person, decide which stores to visit; if you need to prepare a consistent variety in bulk, ask about volume in advance. For repeat orders, it helps to factor in travel time, prep time and receiving conditions.
