What K-Foods Are Popular in Thailand?

K-Food Actively Promoted in Thailand

Since the establishment of an aT office in Bangkok in 2011, MAFRA and aT have been steadily promoting Korean agriproducts and Korean food culture to Thai consumers and buyers. Below is a list of recent activities designed to promote promising Korean agriproducts in the country.

Instant Noodles: Strawberry Every year since 2006, Thai consumers can purchase Korean strawberries in large stores and high-end supermarkets between February and May (the harvest season of Korean strawberries). Due to its sweetness, pretty shape, and high quality, the Korean strawberry is considered a premium fruit in the local market. It is especially popular as a gift for Valentine’s Day.

Korean instant noodles have earned many fans among the younger generation of Thai

Health Beverages Made with Iced Persimmon Catch the Eyes of the Thai As a result of joint efforts of a Korean coffee franchise active in Thailand and the Bangkok aT office, three types of health beverages― Hongsi Smoothie, Hongsi Juice, and Hongsi-ccino―made with Korean iced persimmon were released in August. The new beverages quickly captivated the taste buds of local consumers who like sweet food. Ripe persimmon (hongsi in Korean) is very sweet and is good for overcoming fatigue and losing weight.

brands―Nongshim and others ―can be found on the shelves of local large distributors and convenience stores. The strongest points of Korean instant noodles are the spiciness and chewiness. These days, many local consumers are looking for Korean products with unique flavors such as instant noodles with jjajang (black bean sauce), buldak-bokkeum (spicy chicken), and bibim (sweet and sour sauce). ◀

K-Food Promotion with Hallyu Star Song Joong-ki The Bangkok aT office hosted an “Enjoy K-Food” event with Hallyu star Song Joong-ki in May. Mr. Song gained many fans in Thailand after a TV drama he starred in, “Descendants of the Sun,” was broadcast in the country. The aT office set up a booth at an event hall where Mr. Song had a meeting with his fans. The booth promoted a variety of Korean agriproducts including spicy instant noodles and nutritious seaweed snacks. The aT office has also made a lot of efforts to raise awareness of the excellent taste and health benefits of Korean food among local consumers through Facebook.

Sauces for Korean Dishes:

Thanks to the popularity of Hallyu, some local people have started cooking Korean dishes―bibimbap, bulgogi (sliced and seasoned beef barbeque), and so on―at home. This has led to the export of Korean sauces to the country. Now, one can easily find sauces and seasonings for tteokbokki and bulgogi on the shelves of large supermarkets in Thailand. Tube-type gochujang (red pepper paste) and small-sized kimchi seasoning are receiving a very positive response in the local market.

◀

Introducing Recipes for Top 10 Korean Dishes in Thailand The Bangkok aT office in cooperation with Suan Dusit University of Thailand publicized recipes for ten Korean dishes in November of 2015. The announcement attracted a lot of attention from the Thai interested in Korean cuisine. The recipes were selected based on the preferences of the Thai people for spicy and sweet tastes and included tteokbokki, bibimbap, and jeyuk-bokkeum (stir-fried spicy pork) and other easy-to-cook dishes. A famous Korean chef demonstrated how to cook those dishes at the presentation of the recipes.

Demonstrating Good Potential for K-Food to Advance into Halal Market A 2016 K-Food Fair was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from August 25 to 28. Korea AgraFood reporter came to the fair to check the popularity of Korean food products.

Field Report: 2016 K-Food Fair in

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

he event took off at Istana hotel, a unique building featuring traditional style Malaysian architecture. First on the program was export consultations between businesses, hosted on August 25 and 26. MAFRA (Korean Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs) and aT (Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation) set up a 1:1 matching system for the buyers and Korean food exporters. Overall, 45 Malaysian buyers (40 companies) and 20 Korean food exporters participated in the consultations. All the Korean companies made an enormous effort to promote merits and virtues of Korean food and agriproducts. Korean traditional food products such as kimchi (presented at the fair by More Co., Ltd. and Hansung Food Co., Ltd.) and sauces (Woomtree Corporation) received a very positive response. Also in the spotlight were instant tteokbokki (stir-fried rice cake with red pepper paste, KCT Foods Co., Ltd.), healthy beverages (Dr. Chung Food and Korean Eundan Co., Ltd.), dried sweet potato (Jeongsim Food Co., Ltd.), and green tea (Teazen).

The 2016 K-Food Fair in Kuala Lumpur grabbed the attention of local consumers with its experience programs, such as a Descendants of the Sun (Korean TV drama) activity, and video messages recorded by K-pop stars

The export contracts discussed at the event were worth US$20 million. Some of the consultationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2022;for kimchi, beverages, and snacksâ&#x20AC;&#x2022;led to the conclusion of actual contracts (worth US$1.02 million). Experience events for consumers, organized on August 27 to 28, started with a demonstration of a gigantic bibimbap (rice mixed with vegetables) in One Utama Shopping Center. Many people flocked to K-Food tasting and cooking events hosted in twelve booths of participating Korean companies. In addition, MAFRA and aT carried out various activities to raise awareness about Korea and K-Food. These included a Descendants of the Sun TV drama experience, demonstration of video clips of K-pop stars, and playing Korean traditional games. The activities attracted over 45,000 Malaysians who wanted to experience traditional Korean culture and Hallyu (Korean culture wave).

People We Met at the K-Food Fair

B2C Participants/ Ms. Fitriyyah (left) and Ms. Faizah (right) I came to the K-Food Fair to taste Korean food. Kimchi is delicious and must be very healthy. Its spiciness and sour flavor are perfect for the Malaysian palate.

Thanks to Hallyu (Korean culture wave), the export volume of Korean agriproducts has been increasing year by year. Korean snacks receive much positive feedback from ASEAN consumers thanks to their neat packaging, high quality, and the variety of flavors offered. Steady sellers of Korean food in ASEAN are noodles, beverages, strawberries, persimmons, snacks, and so on. Everything is selling well in Kuala Lumpur. Currently, Buldak-bokkeum and Shin Ramyun are the most popular with local consumers.

Head of the aT center in Jakarta Nam Tack-hong

Korean cuisine is also enjoying a big fan base. Tteokbokki (stri-fried rice cake) and kimchi are loved by local consumers who enjoy spicy food. The number of Korean restaurants is growing. Using our office in Jakarta as a springboard, we are doing our best to promote K-Food in the region. For example, to increase its exposure in the region, we have started online promotions for Korean agriproducts through SNS, such as the Facebook page “Taste of Love, K-Food.” As the number of restaurants selling Korean dishes is on the rise and many people of ASEAN are learning to cook Korean dishes, they look for information about Korean halal food on the internet and SNS.

Local Broadcasting Company Producer Covering B2B and B2C Events of the Fair / Rohayu Abdul Wahab of RTM Interest in Korean agri-products and Korean cuisine is rapidly increasing among local young people who are into Korean TV dramas and K-Pop music. I came here to shoot a program introducing Korean dishes to Malaysians. Recently, Korean Buldak-bokkeum has been the talk of the town. Many festivals and events related to Buldak-bokkeum are organized here and there.

B2C Participant/ Ms. Azilia (left) I tried Korean apples for the first time at KFood Fair in Kuala Lumpur, and they taste very different: they are really sweet and crunchy. That’s why I decided to buy some. If it weren’t too heavy, I would buy a whole box of Korean apples.

Buyer/ Ally Yap, Sales and Marketing Manager of Woori Pacific Sdn. Bhd. (right) The awareness of K-Food is growing day by day in Malaysia. Korean restaurants selling tteokbokki and chicken have created a boom in the country, and Korean products are selling in local stores like hotcakes. These days, the Korean vinegar beverage Micho and snack Nunettine are very popular.

People at a Store/ Ms. Adiyani (left) and Ms. Hasniah (right) K-Food has received positive responses from local consumers and quickly became very popular in the region. We always check the Korean food section whenever we come to a supermarket. We usually buy Korean ramen because its chewy noodles make a great match with the spicy soup.

Buyer/ K.C. Seah, Managing director of A-One European Products Pte. Ltd. Singaporeans consumers rate Korean heathy food products such as ginseng as the best in terms of effectiveness and brand value. This fair is a great chance to see different kinds of healthy Korean food. I am interested in Korean ginseng, fruit extracts, and soy milk, and am considering importing them to Singapore.

B2C Participant/ Ms. Wan Nurul Nazihah (right) Generally, the Malaysians have a good impression of Korean products and consider them luxurious, innovative, safe, and reliable. My favorites are kimchi and tteokbokki. Sometimes, I cook kimchi-jeon (Korean pancake with kimchi) at home and can’t get enough of it.

Fresh Food _ Pear

First Export of Early Pears from Gimpo City to Dubai

Pears growing on the trees through the hot summer are ripening

oreans call fall the “season of fruition.” With newly harvested fruit and rice, fall feels more abundant and gratifying than other seasons. One of its representative fruits, the pear, is the sweetest in the middle of fall. Korean pears have been exported overseas for twenty years. The main destinations are the US and Taiwan, but recently, the fruit has entered the Middle East. Gimpo Export Pear Farming Association made its first shipment of 7 tons of early-ripening pears to Dubai on September 1. Another 32 tons went to Taiwan, the association’s main export market.

400 Tons Export Goal for 2016 Gimpo Export Pear Farming Association started exports to Taiwan in 2005 with a shipment of 189 tons. Every year since then, the association has been sending its pears

to Southeast Asia. Thirty-two members of the association produce 1,500 tons of the fruit annually on the total area of 32ha. Their export goal for this year is 400 tons. It is noteworthy that Gimpo Export Pear Farming Association succeeded in exporting its pears to

Dubai without a halal certification. That is because the association possesses another internationally acceptable certificate. In January 2015, it obtained the Global GAP (Global Good Agricultural Practices) certification for its pears. Global GAP has been increasing its appeal worldwide

Flower _ Grafted Cactus

Grafted cactuses captivate people’s hearts with their vivid colors. Korea is the largest producer and exporter of grafted cactuses in the world

Colorful Grafted Cactus in the Spotlight as an Ornamental Plant

aving seen cactuses in western movies as a child, I had thought of them as tall, upright plants in a desert, dangerous to approach because of their large spines. They looked more suitable for a harsh and desolated desert environment than for a home. Only later did I find out that there are many fans of cactuses who appreciate their beautiful flowers blooming

through the spines and the ease of caring for a plant which grows fast with just a little water. Decorative cactuses of various shapes and sizes captivate people’s hearts. Particularly popular among them are grafted cactuses, which come in red, pink, and yellow and are as vivid in color as flowers. Korea is the largest producer of grafted cactuses. Made

by grafting one cactus on the other, Korean cactuses have been exported to Europe for 30 years. Recently, their market has been expanding to the US, Japan, Malaysia, and Australia. Korea annually exports about 6 million grafted cactuses, worth US$5 million. Several companies engage in the export business, and Korea Floriculture Agricultural Cooperative is supporting the producers by leading the development and marketing of the products.

Exports through Korea Floriculture Agricultural Cooperative Reach US$1.4 Million About US$1.4 million worth of cactuses, or 28% of Korea’s cactus exports in 2015, were carried out by the Korea Floriculture Agricultural Cooperative. Only US$ 330,000 worth of cactuses among those were exported directly, and the lion share was entrusted to trading compa-

nies. The cactuses are classified into two sizes: regular (9cm) and large (14cm). By breed, moon cactus (Gymnocalycium mihanovichii var. friedrichii Werd) accounts for 90% of the exports and Sanchi cactus (Echinopsis silvestrii) for 5%. The flagship brand is Arihwa whose name is a combination of “arari” from the traditional Korean song Arirang and the Chinese character “ (hwa in Korean)” meaning flowers. The US is the largest market for Korean grafted cactuses. Until 2010, most cactuses were shipped to the Netherlands, but the amount has rapidly declined due to the increase of European imports from China. Despite the competition from China, the overall amount of Korean cactus exports has been growing for three consecutive years. This is a result of a surge in cactus imports in the US and newly emerging markets, such as Australia,

Malaysia, and Japan. Lee Kyung-min, export manager of Korea Floriculture Agricultural Cooperative, says, “In order to develop our own specialty in foreign markets, we formed an organization of producers for joint shipment of products in 2012. About half of the domestic producers have joined and now we have competitive power abroad.”

Increasing Profits by Supplying End-Products to Japan The organization is focusing on exploring new markets and expanding direct exports. The global grafted cactus business relies on big buyers, which means one interrupted deal can cause great damage to the entire export business. In an effort to decrease its dependence on big buyers, the Korea Floriculture Agricultural Cooperative is doing its best to advance into new markets, even if the order amount is small. Secondly, the cooperative is trying to increase direct exports by offering end-products. Currently, the grafted cactuses exported to the US and the Netherlands are shipped unplanted and, upon arrival at the destination, they are put in soil and sold to consumers in various forms. The cooperative’s efforts to change this situation resulted in a successful deal with a Japanese company running over 200 grocery stores around the country. The cooperative supplied to it 1,300 cactuses planted in Cocopeat or peat moss. The products received favorable response and now the cooperative is fulfilling its third order for a volume double the original one.

Korean grafted cactuses boast striking colors

Mr. Lee says, “The price of finished goods is higher, so farmers can make more profits. Since the demand for finished goods is projected to increase, we plan to nurture farm houses specializing in end-products.”

Breeding and Genetic Improvement of Cactus Varieties A wide range of cactus breeds is needed to match preferences of different customers, so farmers need to offer a variety of cactuses of unique shapes and colors to succeed in the global market. Luckily, the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Sciences and Gyeonggido Agricultural Research & Extension Services are developing new breeds of cactuses for Korean farmers. The two organizations possess the skills and technologies that are inaccessible to ordinary farmers, and are focusing their efforts on developing high-quality plants. Gyeonggido Agricultural Research & Extension Services produce 3 to 4 new varieties of moon cactuses per year and one variety of Sanchi cactus every other year. Cactuses reproduce by grafting and a plant’s ability to do so gradually declines with the time, making it hard to produce high-quality cactuses after 5 years. The researchers grow selected varieties and cross breed them using flowers. The breeds with a high potential for export are then induced into cactuses of different color by removing chlorophyll. If the resulting color is satisfactory, the plants are given to several farms for test-breeding and then disseminated for mass production. Mr. Lee explains further: “Buyers prefer bright and colorful cactuses, so the research institutions need to develop more and more new cultivars. Given the vast genetic pool and skills in developing new breeds, Korea is likely to dominate the global market of grafted cactus for several years.”

High quality grafted cactuses are created through breeding and genetic improvement

Sales of Korean Kimchi Start in Chinese High-End Department Stores Daeil Food’s Healthy Kimchi Captivates the Taste Buds of Chinese High-Income Group

he revision of standards for imported kimchi by

the Chinese government in November 2015 enabled Korean kimchi to restart its distribution in the country, which had been halted for some time. Currently, the consumption of Korean kimchi is steadily increasing among young Chinese consumers who are interested in Hallyu (Korean culture wave) and the Chinese high-income group who pursue a healthy lifestyle. Daeil Food, a Korean kimchi producer, has recently succeeded in entering three Chinese department stores with its products―the first step for the company’s advancement into the premium kimchi market in the country.

Supplying Kimchi to Three Department Stores in the Northeastern Region of China Daeil Food has been eyeing the premium kimchi market of China since the resumption of Korean kimchi export to the country. The company has been steadily carrying out

promotional activities in local department stores and highend supermarkets of the three provinces (Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning) in Northeastern China with high consumption of Korean-style kimchi. Daeil Food has also been gathering information about the Chinese kimchi market through the company’s interactions with Chinese buyers and actively participating in China’s major food trade fairs such as CFSI (China International Food Safety Technology & Innovations Expo). Thanks to these efforts, the company was able to become the first Korean kimchi producer to sign a contract with Chinese department stores. In September of this year, Daeil Food started supplying to the stores ten types of kimchi products manufactured in cooperation with producers of Gangwon Province. The three department stores selling its products are Wanda (operated by China’s largest realty group), Zhuozhan (a high-end department store present in all three northeastern provinces), and Eurasia (famous as the world’s largest department store). Mr. Hong Geum-seok, CEO of Daeil Food, explains, “These are high-end department stores frequented by high-income consumers. Our products are sold there in the general and Korean traditional food sections. We plan to

supply about 100 tons of kimchi to those stores by the end of this year and hope to expand the export to 500 tons next year.”

Cultivating China’s Kimchi Market by Differentiation in the Production Process How did Daeil Food attract the interest of Chinese highend department stores? The answer is three-fold: the company’s know-how in kimchi production, the use of carefully selected ingredients, and thorough food hygiene management. Since kimchi is a fermented food, it ripens during the shipping process and can easily lose its crispiness. However, Daeil Food uses its own seasoning made with natural seaweed (sea mustard and kelp), which helps to keep kimchi crispy for a long time. The flagship product of Daeil Food, Baechu-Kimchi with Black Garlic, is a good example of its differentiated production process. It is made with the extract of black garlic which is known as a healthy functional ingredient. This premium kimchi product appeals to many foreign consumers who dislike the taste of raw garlic. The product’s manufacturing technique is patented in Korea and Japan. Since kimchi is a type of Korean traditional food, Daeil Food adheres to the principle of using only Korean ingredients―napa cabbage, white radish, red pepper powder, garlic, etc. No artificial seasonings or sugar are used in consideration of consumers’ health. The company puts great effort into managing its kimchi manufacturing facilities in a hygienic way in order to ensure the quality and high food safety of its products. All related facilities of the

Active Exports to Japan, Taiwan, and Canada In addition to Baechu-Kimchi with Black Garlic, Daeil Food produces a variety of kimchi products: mat-kimchi (sliced kimchi), baek-kimchi (white kimchi), kkakdugi (chopped radish kimchi), chonggak-kimchi (whole radish kimchi), and many more. They are exported to mainland China, Taiwan, Japan, and Canada. In the foreign markets, the company uses the brand name “Maison de Kimchi.” Its Baechu-Kimchi with Black Garlic has been distributed in Japan since 2014. In Taiwan, it was sold out three times in a row when it appeared on the largest local home shopping channel, Momo, in November 2015. Shipment of small-sized mat-kimchi products to Korean stores in Canada started this January. Mr. Hong says, “Our biggest goal is to capitalize on the advantages and high food safety of our products to establish a strong presence in China’s kimchi market. To this end, we are embarking on a series of promotions targeting Chinese high-income consumers who are interested in health.”

Additional Information The Efficacy of Kimchi

Kimchi is a world renowned fermented food. It was featured in a magazine with global reach, Health, in 2006 as one of the top five healthiest foods. Since 1g of kimchi contains over 1 billion lactobacilli, regular consumption of kimchi is effective in improving immunity and preventing cancers. Consumption of kimchi in China skyrocketed in China in 2003 during the epidemic of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) as many Chinese hoped the fermented food would help them ward off the disease. Thanks to the healthy image of kimchi, its sales in the country continue to grow.

rapes are the first thing that come to people’s minds when it comes to wine. Applease Korea Brewery, however, has broken the old practice of making wine from grapes and is garnering attention with its apple wine.

Light and Refreshing Wine Made with Sweet Apples Located in North Gyeongsang Province, the site of Applease Korea Brewery is filled with some 300 pots where the main ingredient for its wine, apples, undergo fermentation. The brewery produces a wide range of wine products with fermented apples. Its representative wines include Jujimong, Rumont, and Han’s Orchard Apple Wine. It also exports The Chateulsoorok, a type of hard liquor offered in apple, orange, ginger, peach, and Americano flavors. The company advertises its apple wine as “refreshing,” and consumers agree: their reviews on internet shopping malls describe the wine as “having a scent of sweet apples,” “fresh,” and “tasting and smelling very good.”

Korean Franchise _ Sogongdong

Bringing Authentic Taste of Korea to the World,

Sogongdong

Popularizing Sundubu-jjigae

undubu-jiigae (soft tofu stew), with its unique flavor of beans, is a dish that most Koreans like irrespective of age or gender. Its taste can differ depending on additional ingredients such as short-necked clams, various kinds of marine products, kimchi, wild chives, and perilla. The dish is cooked and served in a clay pot called “ttukbaegi” that keeps it warm. Sogongdong, a franchise brand of Obaek Miracle Inc. (500mrc.), is playing an important role in popularizing the original taste of sundubujjigae around the world.

Tokyo (2009), the restaurant franchise succeeded in overseas expansion, and now brings authentic Korean cuisine to foreigners through over twenty franchises around the world.

Savoring Sundubu-jjigae and Broiled Meat Sogongdong is famous for its sundubu-jjigae which is offered in several types: Original 1962 Tofu Stew, Special Seafood Tofu Stew (with clean taste and plentiful seafood), and Mild Tofu Stew with Clams (clean taste). The menu also includes Pureed Soybean Soup (creamy and soft taste), Fast-fermented Bean Paste (country-style), and Kimchi Stew with Pork. Many customers come to the restaurant to have broiled dishes: pork and squid. A meal set with broiled meat and sundubu-jjigae can be ordered for 1-3 persons. A set for three people also includes folded egg. The prices are reasonable, with sundubu-jjigae and broiled meat set for one person KRW8,000, set for three with rolled omelet KRW24,000, broiled meat for two people KRW15,000, and a single dish of sundubu-jjigae for KRW6,000. Sogongdong also serves various side dishes to go with a drink and seasonal dishes. Lunch boxes and rice in cups are available for take-out.

A Recipe Kept Secret for Over 50 Years The key to Sogongdong’s success is, of course, in the unwavering taste of its soft tofu stew. Regular customers come to the restaurant to have the dish prepared exactly the same way the founder cooked it. Heo Young-seok, President of Sogongdong says, “To reproduce the original flavor, we need to use the exact amount of each ingredient to the gram. We have been working with the same suppliers for 30 years to ensure consistency; a different food ingredient could change the taste.” The know-how accumulated through many years of research and practice is contained in a manual and disseminated through training to all the franchisees to ensure the same quality and flavor. The other two success factors are the daily supply of
