“농협이 또 농협했다” 적자 나도 문은 안 닫는 하나로마트의 몰락, 그 진짜 이유

"NongHyup Hanaro Mart" is completely exempt from regulations on mandatory store closures and remains the only outlet to keep its lights on even on weekends when competitors are shut down. However, the 62 directly managed large stores under NongHyup Economic Holdings have fallen into a swamp of deficits for four consecutive years, facing a crisis of "capital impairment" that is gnawing away at their very capital. How on earth are they failing despite holding onto such sweet privileges? They touted "efficiency" while merging four subsidiaries, but the reality was quite different. Customers were stripped of the right to select items directly in the store, while NongHyup Economic Holdings intervened in the intermediate distribution stages to take tens of billions of won in commissions. On top of that, selling, general, and administrative expenses—including salaries—skyrocketed without any reduction in executive staff or redundant departments. Ultimately, to stop the mounting deficit, they took out a loan of 130 billion won from NongHyup Bank, a related affiliate. It is a shocking situation where they are forced to roll over debt while millions of won in interest accumulate daily. While they are holding on by bringing in Daiso stores and selling imported foods to offset deficits, the bill for these massive debts and losses is ultimately falling on the farmers, who are the "members." We have thoroughly dissected the true structure of Nonghyup Hanaro Mart directly managed stores—which appear on the surface as "direct sales outlets for our agricultural products" but are festering inside as a debt bomb.
