The mask buyers and sellers, as well as those who make masks, have difficulties. The price of raw materials has gone up, and the government is buying masks and offering lower prices. So there are some places that give up production.

Some mask factories complained when the government said it would buy 80% of mask production in bulk for public distribution.

The government suggested about 900 won as the price per mask, which means that the price of raw materials such as filters has risen and is not much different from the production cost.

[Shin Dong-Soo / Mask Manufacturer Representative (Yesterday): It is difficult to operate 24 hours to meet the unit price of 900 won (as suggested by the government).

One dental mask manufacturer declared abandonment because the PPS recognized only 50% of its cost and demanded 10 times its daily output.
The business owner claimed that he had lost the cause and the motivation to continue making the mask at the expense.

In response to this reaction, the government said today it will support the purchase price above the base price and increase the price according to the production performance on weekends or at night.

It also suggested how to apply mask manufacturing equipment to businesses or increase employment subsidies.

For the companies, if they do not make a contract with the government, the market itself will be blocked.

As additional measures emerged, 125 of the 131 mask producers, or 125 percent, have contracted with the government.
