2017 Global K-Food Fair in Tokyo to Open July 26 to 27

8 Korea Agrafood

A K-Food Fair event will be hosted on July 26 and 27 in Tokyo, Japan. It is expected to give momentum for the expansion of exports of Korean agriproducts to the Japanese market. The pictures are from the Korean pavilion of the FOODEX JAPAN 2017 exhibition held last March.

apan is the largest market for Korean exports. For example, in the first five months of this year, Korea exported to Japan US$ 512.7 million worth of food and agricultural products, which equals 18.9% of Korea’s total export amount during that period and is Korea’s largest export to a single country. Recognizing the importance of Japan as a market for Korean food exports, MAFRA (the Korean Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs) and aT (Korea Agro-Fisheries and Food Trade Corporation) are hosting the 2017 Global K-Food Fair in Tokyo at the Grand Prince HotelTakanawa on July 26 and 27. The bellwether of this year’s K-Food Fairs, the 2017 K-Food Fair in Tokyo will include various events such as export consultations, seminars, and exhibitions of products. During the export consultations, fifty Korean exporters will engage in one-to-one negotiations with about 200 representatives of Japanese distributors, vendors, importers, and regional buyers. It is anticipated that the consultations will help many Korean companies to make a breakthrough in the Japanese market. Fourteen products presentations will be hosted for Japanese buyers and distributors to enhance their understanding of Korean farm products. A seminar on such issues as export quarantine and customs clearance is expected to draw much attention from participating companies. Another seminar will deal with Japanese consumer trends and suggest measures to increase exports of Korean food to Japan. Meanwhile, the participating Korean exporters will do their best to attract publicity by introducing promising Korean products that reflect the latest Japanese food trends such as the Japanese consumers’ interest in health, premium food, and convenience products.

The K-Food Fair will exhibit Korea’s leading health products including ginseng. Kuan Industrial Co., Ltd., Punggi Premium Goods Agricultural Cooperative, and Dong-jin Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. will introduce red ginseng products. Komega Co., Ltd. (which broke into the Japanese market with its fresh perilla seed oil) and Jeilseed Co., Ltd. (which is famous for danjo pepper―a type of chili pepper lowering blood sugar) are going to promote fresh perilla seed oil, chili pepper, and chili pepper paste. Setting its sights on the Japanese market where home meal replacement (HMR) is becoming increasingly popular as a result of a large number of single-person households, Daeseong F&D will demonstrate its easy-to-cook rice noodles and buckwheat noodles, while Wonil Food will display various sauces designed for rice dishes. Visitors to the fair will encounter many Korean fresh farm products. Evergood Corporation will explore the possibilities of exporting fresh fruit―such as pear, apple, and grapefruit―and forests products―such as chestnut. K-mush and H&P International will try to increase their sales of enokitake (winter mushroom). Other companies will exhibit extremely spicy stir-fried instant noodles, which are very popular in Southeast Asia, beverages (including citron tea and aloe juice), and Korean dishes such as tteokbokki (spicy stirfried rice cake) and samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup).

Kiwi:

Kiwi contains large quantities of dietary fiber, potassium, and folic acid and is effective in losing weight and preventing high blood pressure. Since the fruit is soft, elderly people who have a hard time chewing can eat it, too, so kiwi is perfect for the food market of Japan, an ultra-aging society. Exports of Korean kiwi to Japan increased from a mere 2 tons in 2014 to 59 tons in 2015 and 1,178 tons in 2016.

What Kinds of Korean Ramyeon Extremely Hot

Will Set Your Mouth on Fire, so Grab Water and a Sweet Dessert

Buldak-bokkeum-myeon is going viral in the world. If you search “fire noodle challenge” on YouTube, you can find a great number of uploaded videos where people record themselves attempting to consume a bowl of insanely spicy instant noodles (up). Shin Ramyun is the most well-known Korean instant noodle product (bottom).

In recent years, Buldak-bokkeum-myeon (stir-fried noodles with spicy chicken), which is extremely spicy, has been a sensation in the instant noodle market of China and ASEAN. If you search for Buldak-bokkeum-myeon on video-sharing sites, you can find a great number of clips showing people trying Buldakbokkeum-myeon. They show some eaters taking the challenge shouting “Cheers!” and others making funny expressions as they suffer under the power of capsaicin. The popularity of Buldak-bokkeum-myeon spread from online channels to offline stores. In large supermarkets of Jakarta (Indonesia), and other cities of Southeast Asia and China, there are sections exclusively selling Buldak-bokkeum-myeon. Special events such as “Speedy Eating of Buldak-bokkeum-myeon” contests are organized and a public broadcasting station of Jakarta made them into a regularly aired program. Even among Koreans―who generally enjoy spicy food― Buldak-bokkeum-myeon is considered super-hot, so several ways to enjoy it in a less spicy way have been introduced on websites. The most typical one is to add cheese as it reduces the spiciness and doubles the sweet taste. Any kind of cheese can be used as the topping―from sliced and string cheese to pizza cheese. A popular recipe is to put chopped string cheese on the noodles and wait until it melts in a microwave. Butter, instead of cheese, will also make the noodles taste sweeter. You can soften the taste of the dish by adding a raw egg to the boiling ramyeon noodles. It is also common to mix in canned tuna, instant rice, or milk. With its traditional spicy flavor, Shin Ramyun has been enjoying steady sales since its launch in 1986 and is now exported to over 100 countries around the world.

Are Hot Overseas? Very Hot

Unusual Ramyeon Fascinating Consumers

To match the diverse preferences of foreign consumers, Korean ramyeon producers have developed and released a variety of instant noodles with new flavors―cheese, curry, tomato spaghetti, rabokki (stir-fried instant noodles with red pepper paste gochujang), jjajang (black soybean sauce), and others. Some of those products have gained more popularity abroad than in Korea, and it is easier to find them outside the country. Most popular among them are cheese, potato, and vegetarian varieties. Cheese Ramyeon is a well-known Korean product in

ASEAN. Sweet cheese powder has been added to the red soup, giving it a creamy flavor. First exported to Hong Kong in 2011, the product has gained great popularity in Taiwan, Singapore, and other markets of Southeast Asia. As the name of the product (translated as “potato noodles”) implies, Gamjamyeon noodles are made with potato (over 50%) and are both chewy and soft in texture. Black pepper adds spiciness to the soup. The Japanese people praise the product for the harmony of chewy noodles and an unusual spiciness coming from black pepper powder. Soon Veggie Noodle Soup was selected by American website Ramen Rater as one of the world’s top 10 instant noodle products. It possesses a vegan certification and halal certification as it does not contain any animal ingredients.

Always Hot

Common Korean Ramyeon Loved by Foreigners for a Long Time While some instant noodles from Korea receive positive reviews from foreign buyers and consumers for their uniqueness, the common products with delicious red soup enjoy a continuous popularity keeping the original flavor of Korean ramyeon. Their spicy soup and chewy noodles never fall out of favor. There are hundreds of different brand offerings. Among such products, those with unique packaging design or containing kimchi are most popular. The first product to be offered in a rectangular box, Dosirac changed the mainstream of Korean ramyeon market which focused on products in cups and round containers. The product has recorded a rapid increase in sales volume overseas as well. Kimchi Ramyeon is also enjoying popularity abroad. The addition of dry kimchi flakes makes the flavor of this ramyeon close to kimchijjigae (kimchi stew). The product tastes clean and refreshing.

Korean Ramyeon in Keywords

Koreans love ramyeon. Korea has the world’s No.1 instant noodle consumption per person Korea 76 units

Vietnam 55 units

Indonesia 52.8 units

According to a 2017 report by the World Instant Noodles Association (WINA), Koreans consumed 76 units of ramyeon on average in 2016, which is the highest rate in the world. Vietnam came in second with 55 packages per person, followed by Indonesia (52.8 units).

Despite its small size, Korea is the 7th largest consumer of instant noodles in the world The total number of ramyeon units sold in Korea last year reached 3.5 billion, making the country the seventh largest in consumption of instant noodles in the world. China, including Hong Kong, consumed 44 billion units, Indonesia came in second with 14.1 billion, and Japan was third with 5.4 billion.

18 Korea Agrafood

Korean ramyeon is exported to over 100 countries Ramyeon is one of Korea’s largest exports among agricultural products. The export volume has been steadily increasing, reaching US$ 290 million last year. The export volume was US$213 million in 2013, US$280 million in 2014, and US$219 million in 2015. The export markets have also become more diverse. Korean ramyeon is now sold in over a hundred different countries, with China, the US, Japan, and ASEAN being the leading importers. You can have Korean instant noodles at the “end of the world” in Punta Areana, Chile, and at the “roof of Europe” in Jungfrau in the Alps.

Ramyeon tops the list of foods foreigners want to bring home from Korea One travel agency conducted a survey, asking foreign tourists in Korea what food they would want to take home with them at the end of their travels in Korea. Over 40% of the respondents answered “ramyeon.” (Other popular choices included seaweed (20%), chicken and beer (17%), bulgogi (Korean-style barbequed beef, 15%), and kimchi (8%).) Many participants of the survey said that they tried Korean instant noodles out of curiosity as they had seen them in TV dramas. They also noted that ramyeon turned out less spicy than they had expected and very delicious.

Most popular types of Korean ramyeon by market Although all of the exported types of ramyeon enjoy popularity overseas, some of them sell particularly well in certain markets. Kimchi Ramyeon, for example, has many fans in China and the Middle East because kimchi is very popular there. Japanese like Gamjamyeon (potato noodles) for its chewy noodles and the unusual flavor of its black pepper seasoning. In Russia, the brand name Dosirac is a household word. Cheese Ramyeon has won the hearts of many consumers in Hong Kong, whereas Buldak-bokkeum-myeon (stir-fried noodles with spicy chicken) enjoys a sensational popularity in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia. With its meat flavor achieved without using any meat, Soon Veggie Noodle Soup appeals to many Muslim consumers. Shin Ramyun is widely popular in the US and Europe.

Rice Crackers: Rice is a gluten-free food rich in proteins, vitamins, and dietary fiber. It also has a high digestion-absorption rate and is thus effective in preventing obesity, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. Most of Korean rice crackers are made with organic rice or rice grown free of agricultural chemicals. Similar to other types of crackers, rice crackers are crunchy but taste lighter and are more flavorful. Since they do not use milk or eggs, vegetarians can eat them with peace of mind. Bugak:

Bugak is a traditional Korean snack made by applying a thin layer of glutinous rice paste onto trimmed vegetables and seaweeds, and then drying and frying them in oil. Only natural ingredients without artificial additives or preservatives are used such as dried seaweed, carrot, chili pepper, and lotus root. Although there are differences by product, the snack is generally low in calories (50 to 90 kcal per 30g) and contains merely 2 to 5% saturated fat on average. Thanks to these strengths, bugak is known overseas as a “vegan snack from Korea.”

Lee Jong-geun CEO of LNC Pte Ltd.

“At the conference, I was surprised by the unexpectedly large number of vegetarian foods Korea can offer. As a vegetarian myself, I was especially interested in seonsik which can be used as a light substitute for meals. It is made with wholesome grains and seems to be easy to carry during the day as many seonsik products come in small packages. Many Singaporeans, even if they are not vegetarians, tend to eat vegetarian dishes in nearby restaurants for one or two days a week for their health. I think many Singaporeans are not aware of Korean vegetarian food, so it is important, at this point, to make consistent efforts to improve the level of awareness

“Bugak, dried fruit chips, veggie cookies, and seaweed snacks shall be great for vegetarians. They are convenient, and I believe they will receive favorable responses from Singaporean consumers, if well promoted. The greatest challenge, however, is the relatively low level of awareness. Korean exporters need to tackle it by harnessing the power of the Korean Wave such as popular Korean dramas and K-pop. Singapore has a large population of foreigners, so exporters will need to provide product labels in English and Chinese in addition to Korean. Also, over 70% of the Singaporean population is ethnic Chinese, and they tend to pay

of Korean vegetarian food products by supplying them to restaurant chains or hotel restaurants in Singapore.”

Fresh Food Seedless Watermelon

A Transformation of a Typical Korean Summer Fruit into a Sweeter and More Convenient One to Eat:

Seedless Watermelon より甘く?より食べやすく…韓國の夏を代表する食べ物?スイカの變身?種なしスイカ

24 Korea Agrafood

uly in Korea is the time of extreme summer heat. With the rise of outside temperatures, the sales of food products that can help beat the heat also increase. With its abundant water content and sweetness, watermelon is the best fruit to overcome heat and thirst. In Korea, watermelons are harvested from May to August in Buyeo and Nonsan counties of South Chungcheong Province and Jeongeup of North Jeolla Province. Local farmers make great effort to produce high-quality fruit by improving cultivated varieties and using top-notch sorters and packaging lines. As a reflection of their efforts, the export volume is consistently growing. One of the improved varieties is watermelon without seeds, which makes it very easy to eat the fruit.

A Luxurious Watermelon Produced by Experts The seedless watermelon is produced by cultivating the fruit so it does not develop seeds during the growing stage. The convenience of having no need to remove seeds when eating has made seedless watermelons very popular. An increasing number of Korean farmers produce and export the variety overseas. One of the exporters is Jeongeup Watermelon Research and Farming Association located in Jeongeup. The association was established in 2003 by 75 farms for the purpose of growing and distributing high quality watermelons. From the very beginning, it focused on the production of seedless watermelons. Association President Lee Seok-byeon said, “At that time, the watermelon production nationwide was increasing due to improvements in cultivation technology, and we thought it was difficult to attract the consumer with a common watermelon. We analyzed the consumer trends and decided to grow seedless watermelons, which are not only sweet but also convenient to eat.” In the early stages, however, the association was unable to produce watermelons of exportable quality. No system was in place to grow seedless watermelons, and the fruits were often damaged or spoiled during cultivation. Moreover, even those watermelons that reached the harvesting stage were hard to sell on the market because their rinds were too thick and the sweetness too low. The association developed a cultivation technique

and bioagent for seedless watermelons and managed to stabilize production. Lee’s efforts were recognized when he was selected as a “master in agricultural technology” (in the vegetable category) by RDA (Rural Development Administration) in 2011.

Surpassing Its Rival, South American Watermelon, in Japan…An Increase in Inquiries and Export Volume The association started exports in earnest from 2014. RDA helped organize a trial shipment to Japan and the association’s seedless watermelons received positive evaluations, opening the door to regular exports. The key to the success lay in quality. The watermelons were not only easy to eat but they also had thin rinds and high sugar content (13° Bx on average). Lee recalls, “The watermelons from South America sold in Japanese stores were not sweet and had a higher price tag due to the logistics costs. The advantage of geographic proximity, which made the price for Korean watermelons more affordable, along with the freshness and sweetness of our fruits won the hearts of local buy-

ers.” The export volume has increased from 10 tons in 2014 to 17 tons in 2015 then to a whopping 160 tons in 2016. Lee notes, “When we first exported our products in 2014, buyers checked every detail, from sugar content to the shape of watermelons. Now they simply ask us to ship, saying that they have no doubts in the quality.” Jeongeup Watermelon Research and Farming Association is getting ready to expand the export markets to Hong Kong and Russia. As part of its efforts to increase the volume of watermelons produced for export, the association installed a three-stage gear to automatically open and close greenhouses earlier this year. Highly sensitive to weather, seedless watermelons do not bear fruit unless the temperature is appropriate, and even when the fruit does form, it tends to develop a thick rind. Lee reveals his aspirations: “Capitalizing on advantages of the Korean seedless watermelon―its sweetness and crispiness―we want to lead the exploration of foreign markets for the fruit.”

Additional Information Seedless Watermelon Is Not Genetically Modified! Many consumers think that the seedless watermelon is genetically modified. That is not true. They are produced using a special pollen that prevents the occurrence of seeds in natural varieties. You can trust the quality of Korean seedless watermelons!

The association developed a cultivation technique and bioagent for seedless watermelons and managed to stabilize production.

Thanks to the advantages of geographic proximity, affordable price, and high sugar content, Korean seedless watermelon has won the hearts of Japanese buyers. It is sold in Japanese stores in smallsized packages.

A New Korean Variety of Kalanchoe, a Succulent Plant, Dives into the Japanese Market 日本市場へ挑戰する韓國の多肉植物の新品種·カランコエ Red One Shining Star

Pink Star Yellow Star

n April this year, Gyeonggido Agricultural Research & Extension Services began exporting to Japan two new varieties of a succulent plant kalanchoe, which it has recently developed. The new varieties, Red One and Pink Star, were sold in Japan last April at prices 15 to 20% higher than in Korea. The succulent plant offered in a variety of luxurious colors is expected to enjoy great popularity in the Japanese market.

Variously Colored Kalanchoe with Diverse Flower Shapes Sets Off to Capture the Hearts of Japanese Consumers Research Scientist, Lee Ji-hye at the Cactus & Succulent Research Institute of the Gyeonggido Agricultural Research & Extension Services (GARE) developed the two varieties. She says, “Red One is vivid dark red and it has a lot of flowers,

culent plants in Europe and other advanced markets. For a long time, Korean kalanchoe farmers bore the burden of the high cost of foreign seed varieties, having to pay royalties of 60 to 100 KRW per plant. In this context, the development of Red One and Pink Star by Research Scientist, Lee of the Cactus & Succulent Research Institute is a major breakthrough. With their vivid colors, the two varieties receive favorable reviews not only in Korea but also in Japan. It is expected that exports will increase and the Korean kalanchoe will become even more competitive in the Japanese market as other varieties are released in addition to Red One and Pink Star. The global kalanchoe market is dominated by the products of the Netherlands and Denmark. Now, foreign varieties are likely to be gradually replaced with domestic ones in Korea and more opportunities will

Easy Farming and Excellent Colors Make Kalanchoe More Attractive to Farmers Moon Min-joo, CEO of Mirim Farm in Goyang City, which cultivates kalanchoe for sales in Japan, says, “We have been growing kalanchoe since 2002, and we are confident that Red One and Pink Star developed by Gyeonggido Agricultural Research & Extension Services are excellent both in the color and shape of the flowers.

Peace Village exported its products for the first time in August 2016 with the shipment of US$3,000 worth of ham and sausages to Hong Kong. Through this and subsequent shipments in April and May 2017, the company has been gradually increasing its export volume. Hong Kong consumers appreciate the taste, nutrition and safety of the products. Nowadays, sales of Peace Village products are rapidly increasing via Hong Kong home shopping channels and online malls where they are advertised as highly nutritious, delicious, and made from eco-friendly ingredients. Lee said, “The differences between our products and other sausages―in addition to being made from non-antibiotic pork―are that we only use the meat of pigs slaughtered a day or less before and that we reduce the amount of fat in our products to the minimum for consumers concerned about their weight.” She hopes that export to Hong Kong helps Peace Village to enter the markets of Europe, Southeast Asia, Japan, and beyond and the Jejumam brand gains worldwide popularity.

Launched in China in 2008, it gained sensational popularity there. The product also has many fans in Southeast Asia. Most of them first try it in Korea and cannot forget the delicious flavor of a milk drink in a mini jar-shaped plastic bottle. The Korean Pavilion of the Bangkok Food Fair, which was held on May 31 to June 4, was flooded with Thai consumers who wanted to get a taste of Binggrae’s Banana Flavored Milk.

Samgyetang

Samgyetang on TV In episode 12 of Descendants of the Sun, Captain Yoo (Song Joong-ki) puts on an apron over his military uniform and cooks samgyetang for Dr. Kang (Song Hye-gyo) to cheer her up after her ordeal with weapon-traffickers who tried to kidnap her. When serving the dish to Kang, Yoo says, “I hope it tastes good. I made it to help you restore your strength.” Not only the heroine but many women in Asia were fascinated by his sweetness.

amgyetang, an invigorating, representative dish in Korean cuisine, is made by simmering a whole chicken stuffed with ginseng, dates, ginger, and garlic. The main ingredient, chicken, is a high-protein, low-fat, and

low-calorie food. Ginseng, an essential ingredient, is effective in overcoming fatigue, depression, anemia, and diabetes. The nutritional value and harmony of a thick broth with tender chicken attract a lot of foreigners. Retort samgyetang products (pre-cooked samgyetang packages) are receiving much attention in different markets. Such products are also easier to export than other chicken products because it is a heat-treated processed food. They enjoy a particular popularity in Japan, the US, and China.

One serving Cooking Time: 90 min 677kcal

Main Ingredients A young chicken, 1/4 cup glutinous rice, 2 roots ginseng, 12 cups water

Sub Ingredients 5 cloves garlic, 20g spring onion, 3 jujubes, 1 tsp salt, 2 chestnuts, a little bit of black pepper

1. Remove internal organs and excess fat from the chicken and wash it in running water. 2. Wash the glutinous rice, soak it in water for 30 minutes, and drain. 3. Wash and clean the ginseng; remove the head part. 4. Wash the garlic and jujubes. 5. Stuff the glutinous rice, ginseng, garlic, and jujubes into the chicken belly. Cross the chicken’s legs to keep the stuffed ingredients inside. 6. Put the chicken and water in a pot and boil until the soup turns milky.
