The harvesting of Shine Muscat grapes is in full swing in Gimcheon, North Gyeongsang Province, one of the major grape-producing areas in Korea. Shine Muscat is popular overseas because it has high sugar content (an average of over 18 Brix) and no seeds. This year, Korean Shine Muscat grapes are shipped to 12 countries including Canada, China, and Singapore.

The Rise of Korean Food in Myanmar with Hallyu as a Springboard In Myanmar, the Korean Wave started in 2002 in the wake of the sensational popularity of Korean TV drama Autumn in My Heart. The interest in Korean TV series has led to curiosity about Korean food. Tteokbokki (stir-fried rice cake) and dakgalbi (stir-fried chicken) are receiving favorable responses from the local people. Fresh Korean farm products such as grapes, peaches, and apples have also found their way into Myanmar. Yang Jae-seong, Managing Director of the aT office in Bangkok, said, “City Mart Holdings, a major distributor in Myanmar, imports and distributes Korean fruit in the local market.” He explained, “Myanmar has great growth potential for Korean exporters of agriproducts since the local people’s food consumption is upgrading quickly and their interest in food safety and high quality food are rapidly increasing as well.”

The Korean oyster features a strong scent of the sea and a chewy texture. Its hygienic safety is widely recognized. The USFDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) confirmed that the sanitary conditions in Korean sea waters meet those of the National Syndromic Surveillance Program.

K-Food in the Ginseng (In Tablets, Capsules, Pills) Ginseng from Korea is considered the best in terms of its efficacy. For example, it has been scientifically proven that Korean ginseng has an anti-cancer effect and can lower cholesterol levels. For American consumers who are not used to the bitter taste and scent of ginseng, Korean companies have developed ginseng tablets and are exporting them to the US.

Kimchi, a representative Korean fermented food, is popular around the world as a healthy food. Several years ago, kimchi became a trendy topic on Twitter when Michelle Obama posted a picture and recipe of kimchi she made by herself.

Known in the US in the past as “black paper,” seaweed is now recognized as a healthy food. It is especially popular as a nutritious snack for children and a low-calorie accompaniment to beer for adults.

Japanese Buyers Indulge in the Taste & Charm of Korean Food 日本のバイヤ－?韓國産食品の味と魅力にはまる

16 Korea Agrafood

The 2017 K-Food Fair in Tokyo included various events such as export consultations, seminars, and product exhibitions.

orean agriproducts are highly popular in Japan. Thanks to the Korean Wave and a good image of Korean products as safe and delicious, the Japanese consumers’ interest in Korean food and agriproducts is continuously growing. On July 26 to 27, MAFRA (the Korean Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs) and aT (Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corp.) hosted the 2017 K-Food Fair in Tokyo at the Grand Prince Hotel. This was the first time a K-Food Fair was held in Tokyo. The event was designed to expand awareness of Korean agriproducts among Japanese buyers and consumers and thereby to increase exports. The 2017 K-Food Fair in Tokyo brought together 280 distributors, vendors, importers, and buyers. Forty-eight Korean exporters conducted one-to-one consultations with potential partners from Japan. To

help the understanding of foreign buyers, the exporters’ products were exhibited in a K-Food Showcase at the entrance to the consultation booths and shown at presentations. The consultations proceeded in a lively atmosphere, with Japanese importers actively inquiring about prices, export conditions, and quality of products they were interested in. In addition to one-to-one consultations, 14 Korean companies carried out demonstrations of new products and distributed information about them. A seminar on consumption trends in Japan and export expansion strategies was organized for Korean businesses wishing to advance into the Japanese market. The two-day K-Food Fair yielded an exceptional result of about US$49 million in export consultations and over US$3 million in export contracts.

K-Food in the Eyes of Japanese Importers

日本の輸入バイヤ－が語る韓國の農食品

Lee Kwang-suk, President of Shinsei Co.

Jun Nagasaki, General Manager of Foods Divison at Matsuda Sangyo Co.

I became a buyer importing Korean agriproducts to Japan 10 years ago and I have attended many events looking for new products. Korean agriproducts have a competitive edge in Japan, it is important that they are marketed professionally. Export volumes of K-Food also have to be consistent and steady. Marketing can be strengthened through a customized support system and more assistance in expenses on promotions and packaging. Currently, aT helps a wide range of Korean exporters with design and marketing, but the organization needs to build a larger pool of marketing professionals, especially experts in the Japanese market.

We are importing high quality agrifood from Korea and selling it in Japan. We came to the K-Food Fair to gather information on Korean products. There are many Chinese products in the agri-food market of Japan. Korean products are considered safer and of higher quality than the Chinese ones. The most popular products these days are dried seaweed and kimchi. To make the exports more efficient, Korean producers need to focus on advantages of each product during negotiations and marketing activities. I would recommend that Korean exporters analyze the pros and cons of their products in the Japanese market ahead of business negotiations.

Kim Ho-dong,

Director of aT Tokyo Branch

We spare no effort to expand exports of Korean agriproducts to Japan beyond US$2.5 billion at the peak of the Korean Wave in 2012.

Having held major positions at

agri-food from Korea to Japan

aT, Kim Ho-dong is a veteran in the export sector. Thanks to his organizing abilities and drive, the two days of K-Food Fair in Tokyo brought Korean exporters over US$3 million in contracts, with another US$49 million worth of contracts discussed at export consultations. Kim is credited with contributing to the turning of the tide of low exports of Korean agri-food to Japan, which now have started to make doubledigit growth. Kim said, “The agri-food consumption trends in Japan are shifting due to demographic changes, such as low birth rates, population aging, decreasing population, increasing number of double-income families, and changes in lifestyle. The consumption of functional food is rising due to increased interest in health and beauty among the elderly and women; products in small packages and convenience food are the choice of many double-income families.” From 2012 to 2015, exports of

had been declining. They started to grow again last year, thanks to a better relationship between the two countries and aT’s efforts to promote Korean products and find new buyers. In connection to the 2017 KFood Fair in Tokyo, Kim said, “We invited 48 Korean exporters specializing in agricultural or marine products and did our best to match them for one-on-one consultations with promising buyers from all around Japan―from Hokkaido to Kyushu. While the consultations were going on, we provided Korean exporters with comprehensive support by hosting new product presentations, offering interpretation services, and giving advice on quarantine procedures and packaging design in line with local trends.” The aT office in Tokyo also actively searches promising products for niche markets in Japan and assists exporters of strategic products, such as kimchi, ginseng, and ramyeon in increasing their shares in the Japanese market.

Melon A Rising Star among Korean Melons 韓攻甛瓜出口的后起之秀，益山甛瓜

Iksan City, one of the main producers and exporters of Korean melons, has an optimal environment―climate, amount of sunshine, and type of soil―for the production of melon. Iksan melons boast a high sugar content and vivid color.

elon can satisfy both the taste and health demands of customers with its high sugar content, sweet taste and scent, and abundance of nutrients such as iron, niacin, vitamin A, vitamin C and beta-carotene. Korean melons are winning the hearts of customers abroad with their sweetness, juiciness, and delicious flavor. Major exporting regions of melon in Korea include Seji (South Jeolla Province), Gokseong (South Jeolla Province), and Gochang (North Jeolla Province). Most recently, thanks to highly positive reviews from overseas, Iksan City (North Jeolla Province) has emerged as the largest exporter of Korean melons. Korea

Laying the Foundations for Export by Expanding Farming Cooperatives Iksan boasts an optimal environment for cultivating melons, tomatoes, watermelons, and other fruits, as the area has a lot of wide fields, a river (Geum River, Geum-gang in Korean) and receives abundant sunshine. The daily temperature range is large and the soil contains a lot of sand and red clay with microorganisms boosting the soil’s fertility. Melons grown under these condi-

tions develop a high sugar content and firm texture. Despite their excellent quality, Iksan melons had only a minor presence in Taiwan, Japan, and Southeast Asia (the major importers of Korean melons) until recently. Many farmers desired to export but none managed to demonstrate a strong will for export expansion to overseas buyers. Another obstacle was the fact that different farms in the area used different criteria to select melons for export. Against these backdrops, Iksan Horticulture Nonghyup started building an efficient melon export system in 2012, by striving to equalize the quality of exported melons. It also planned an export promotion project and organized related briefing sessions for the farm houses. As a

result, Iksan Melon Export Cooperative Association was established in 2014. Oh Sang-oak, a senior manager of Iksan Horticulture Nonghyup, said, “It was our urgent task to organize the farmers better so we could offer a larger volume of melons for export. With the help of Iksan City Administration and Iksan Agricultural Technology Center, we first brought together the agricultural cooperatives into a team specializing in melon exports.”

Production of Melons Averaging 1.3kg to 1.9kg The current number of farmhouses in Iksan Melon Export Cooperative Association is 150. They cultivate the fruit on a total area of about 24ha. The expansion of exports started to gain momen-

tum last year, when the association shipped 200 tons of melons overseas. Oh said, “The stabilization of supply by organizing farmers became an important step in expanding exports. In addition, we have invested a lot of time into improving the quality of our products.” Iksan Horticulture Nonghyup regularly conducts cultivation training for farmers to produce fruit of uniformly high quality. According to Oh, sessions by experts in cultivating high-quality melons for export are offered in an APC (Agriproducts Processing Center) meeting room every Monday at 11:00 am. He is confident that the productivity and merchantability of Iksan melons are steadily improving as a result of the farmers learning and sharing advanced cultivation skills. Nowadays, the farmers are keen to study eco-friendly farming which minimizes the use of chemical fertilizers. Thorough management by Iksan Horticulture Nonghyup continues even after harvesting. The organization collects melons at

different stages of maturity and stores them in a low temperature storage until the products are shipped overseas in refrigerated containers. Reflecting the preferences of foreign consumers, only the melons weighing 1.3 to 1.9kg and having a sugar content of 12 to 14° Bx are selected for exports.

This Year’s Export Goal of 300 Tons This year, Iksan has had a good crop of melons, and the production volume is expected to exceed that of last year. Given the support from Iksan Horticulture Nonghyup, the farmers anticipate that exports will increase as well. They expect to ship 300 tons of melons overseas, which is 100 tons more than last year. Oh said, “In addition to our main export market of Taiwan, we plan to expand exports to Japan and Singapore.”

Fresh Food Grapes

Fresh & Sweet Gimcheon round this time of the year, major grape-producing areas in Korea fill with a refreshing sweet scent of grapes. Grapes are generally harvested there between July and September. Among many varieties of Korean grapes, Kyoho, Campbell Early, and Shine Muscat are the most well-known. Kyoho and Campbell Early are in the family of black grapes, whereas the Shine Muscat grapes are green. All three are steadily exported abroad. Saegimcheon Nonghyup is an agricultural cooperative located in Gimcheon, one of Korea’s major grape-producing areas. The cooperative leads in exports of highquality grapes and makes every effort to pioneer new markets.

Overseas Debut in 2011 with Competitively Priced Kyoho Grapes The Gimcheon area is renowned as the largest producer of Kyoho grapes in Korea. Kyoho grapes feature large-sized berries and are very sweet, with a sugar content of 16 to 18 Brix on average. Thanks to their good mouthfeel, they receive favorable reviews both at home and abroad. Saegimcheon Nonghyup started exporting Kyoho grapes in 2011. Although its overseas debut was relatively late compared to other Kyoho grape producers, the cooperative has quickly earned the recognition of overseas buyers and consumers for its thorough quality control and active overseas promotions. It produces and exports grapes under the principle that only the bestquality grapes can satisfy the tastes of foreign consumers.

According to Lee Yong-taek, President of Saegimcheon Nonghyup, the cooperative focuses on continuous exports and not one-time deals, so it regularly conducts market surveys to analyze preferences of overseas consumers in terms of the sugar content, color, size, packaging style, and the like. Lee adds, “Our Kyoho grapes are more competitively priced than the Japanese Kyoho grapes, even though they are similar to Japanese rivals in taste and quality.”

Shine Muscat Grapes First Exported Last Year and Are Already Gaining Popularity with Southeast Asian Consumers In addition to its flagship, Kyoho grapes, Saegimcheon Nonghyup started exporting Shine Muscat grapes last year. Unlike the black grape varieties of Kyoho and Campbell Early which have inedible skins, the Shine Muscat is a seedless green grape that does not have to be peeled. The berries are large and crispy. The Shine Muscat grapes of Saegimcheon Nonghyup are also very juicy and sweet, with an average sugar content of 18 to 22 Brix. They are second to no other fruit in terms of sweetness―strawberry averages 13 Brix, pear, 15 Brix, and banana, 16 Brix. Furthermore, Shine Muscat grapes are also more suitable for exports due to their high storability compared to other grape varieties. The cooperative first introduced them to Southeast Asian consumers in Singapore and Malaysia last year and received an excellent response, with its products being sold out in just four days after entering the market,

今年將利用陽光袒系開拓中攻和加拿大市場

despite a relatively high price. Son Sang-pil, the head of sales at Saegimcheon Nonghyup, says, “Shine Muscat grapes have a high sugar content with just a little bit of sourness, so they are gaining huge popularity among Southeast Asian consumers who are not that fond of a sour taste.” According to Son, most green grapes distributed in the region are quite expensive. Compared to the Japanese Shine Muscat grapes, those of Saegimcheon Nonghyup are priced approximately 30% lower while their bunches have 20 to 30% more berries, making them highly competitive in Southeast Asian markets.

Plans to Pioneer Chinese and Canadian Markets with Shine Muscat Grapes This Year Saegimcheon Nonghyup has set its export goal at 350 tons of grapes (worth US$1.8 million) this year. This is much larger than the last year’s target of 270 tons (US$1.3 million). The cooperative also plans to expand its markets from eight to ten countries, capitalizing on newly established complexes for exports of Shine Muscat grapes to China and Canada. To boost its overseas sales, the cooperative will host many overseas events promoting Gimcheon grapes. Lee said, “We have already started export of Kyoho grapes in late May and export of Shine Muscat grapes in late July, one month earlier than last year. We will do our best to further boost the competitiveness of our grapes through thorough quality control.”

The Quality Control at Saegimcheon Nonghyup

Saegimcheon Nonghyup is armed with a production system geared for export of high quality grapes. All 71 member-farms possess GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) certifications. They also belong to a grape export complex and apply the same standardized techniques for the cultivation of grapes, disease control, and pest prevention. The cooperative regularly invites experts to offer training in advanced cultivation techniques. Upon harvesting, the grapes for export are carefully selected through a three-stage sorting process. The cooperative set up its criteria for sugar content, acidity, color, and weight in accordance with international standards. In addition, its products never fail tests for agricultural residues and other quarantine procedures of importing countries. Thanks to these efforts, Saegimcheon Nonghyup has not received a single complaint on the quality of its grapes from overseas buyers or consumers. Saegimcheon Nonghyup started exporting Shine Muscat grapes last year.

creased, so did the need for Happy Food to expand its facilities with an emphasis on hygiene and safety. The company developed a convenience porridge product for export. Ready to eat with the simple addition of hot water, it is made from puffed rice which gives the porridge its soft texture and high solvency.

Product Development Reflecting Consumers’ Demands Organic Baby Snack was created as a result of checking and incorporating the demands of mothers with young babies. Jung said, “At the commercialization stage, we decided to give the snack a stick shape, so children can easily hold it in their hands. At the same time, we wanted to make sure the snack does not melt in the hand or smear around the lips.” She added that Happy Food, through collaborative projects, actively utilizes market research data and design capacities of large companies and focuses on identifying the preferences of mother-consumers.” One of the greatest merits of Happy Food is its usage of organic rice grown in Korea as the main ingredient and the elimination all chemical additives such as swelling agents or preservatives in consideration of children’s health. By promoting these strengths in the Chinese market, the company has been able to increase awareness of its products among the Chinese upper middle class and increase its export volume to the

country. Jung said, “Once we obtain the organic food certification in China and register as a health food, we will advance further into the Chinese market. We will seek cooperation with local buyers specializing in functional rice products for babies. With their help and knowledge of the baby food market, our expansion in China will be much easier.” In addition to processed organic food, Happy Food plans to launch new kinds of functional convenience products, such as porridge and rice, targeting the elderly. This will let the company increase its share in the convenience food market in the future. Currently, it is expanding its sales in China and the US, preparing to enter Southeast Asian markets, and developing a functional product for consumers with high blood pressure and diabetes.

Global YAFF Speaks K-Food

Global YAFF Talks About K-Food Alice Kim

Alice Kim, An Attendance at The Chinese University of Hong Kong

Introducing Various K-Foods to Hong Kong Consumers

Hong Kong, a financial hub of Asia, is also an active consumer of Korean agriproducts. Since the late 2000s, an increasing number of local grocery stores have been selling Korean food and many Korean restaurants have opened thanks to the Korean Wave. The Hong Kong office of aT (Korea Agro-Fisheries and Food Trade Corporation) runs the Global YAFF program in Hong Kong to promote excellent Korean agriproducts to local consumers. Let us take a look at Korean food in Hong Kong through the eyes of Alice Kim, a member of Global YAFF.

亞洲著名的金融中心城市香港也是大量銷魔各種韓攻農食品的地方? 特別是從2000年代后期開始，隨着韓流的鰲起，芎地出現了許多銷魔韓攻食品的大型商場和韓餐館?爲了讓香港消費者更多地了潁韓攻的優質農食品，韓攻農水産食品流通公社(aT)香港分公司正在組織運營韓攻農食品宣傳團“Global YAFF” 項目?本期內容將通過 Global YAFF繇員A氏了潁一下韓攻産食品在香港的地位? 40 Korea Agrafood

A bibimbap (rice mixed with vegetables and beef) demonstration at the 2016 K-Food Fair in Hong Kong (left). Hong Kong consumers’ interest in Korean food is largely due to the Korean Wave.

What made you apply for the Global YAFF program?

I’m a foreign student attending college in Hong Kong, an international city with many foreign residents and diverse cultures. I found out about Global YAFF accidentally and thought it would be a valuable experience to learn about Korean food. What has been the most memorable among your experiences in the Global YAFF program?

Agrifood and Beverages Consumer Experience Event hosted by the Hong Kong office of aT at Hysan Place, a famous shopping mall in Hong Kong. Many consumers who came to the event were surprised by the good quality and high sugar content of Korean Kyoho grapes and melons, which made me very proud to promote Korean food. In the same month, I also attended a promotional event for samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) at the Conrad Hotel and realized there is a lot of interest in promising Korean products among Hong Kong buyers. What Korean agriproducts are most popular in Hong Kong?

Recently, Korean ice cream is all the rage. It is winning the hearts of local consumers with the variety of choices, affordable prices, and unique flavors. I also like the luxurious design of the products. You can easily find Korean ice cream in convenience stores around Hong Kong.

Alice Kim (the third from the right) promotes Korean fruits to local consumers at the Korean Food Experience Event held at the Hong Kong Hysan Place department store last July.

Are there any types of consumers in Hong Kong who particularly en-

joy Korean food?

I think, the main consumers of Korean food are housewives and office workers. They prefer to have meals comfortably and do not like cooking much at home because of their busy daily schedules. That is why Korean convenience products such as frozen fried rice are receiving a good response. There are also many consumers who enjoy Korean fresh fruits such as grapes and strawberries. In your opinion, what points should be emphasized when promoting Korean food in Hong Kong?

Hong Kong is highly dependent on food imports because of its geographical characteristics. Also, consumers in Hong Kong tend to purchase products high in food safety, even if they are more expensive. Given these characteristics, I think it is important to emphasize the high safety and good quality of Korean food and build trust with consumers by accurately indicating the place of origin and nutritional information about the product.

Dwaeji-Kimchi-Duruchigi on TV Jin-yeong of the group B1A4 cooked several dishes in the kitchen of Super Junior’s Henry, to thank the host for the invitation. One of the dishes he made was dwaeji-kimchi-duruchigi. Henry and Amber, when noticing that the dish was full of hot pepper paste and kimchi, were worried it would be too spicy for them. However, once they tasted it, they were filled with joy and could not stop praising it.

Mesmerizes Super Junior’s Henry & F(x)’s Amber at Once waeji-kimchi-duruchigi is a fried pork and vegetables dish. You can make it with any type of pork, but for a variety of texture, it is better to use pork with at least some fat. Kimchi gives this dish its sweet-andspicy flavor that differs from bulgogi (thin slices of beef marinated in a soy sauce) or other Korean stir-fried meat dishes. The most basic way to enjoy dwaeji-kimchi-duruchigi is by eating it as a side dish to rice or having it wrapped in vegetable leaves such as lettuce. In Korea, dwaeji-kimchi-duruchigi is also a popular accompaniment to soju (distilled liquor) and makgeolli (rice wine).

What do Thai mangoes, Taiwanese castella, Japanese banana bread, and Belgian chocolate have in common? All of them are representative food products tourists taste and purchase when traveling in those countries. The must-tries in Korea include kimchi, dried seaweed, and samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) but it is hard to find all of them in one place. To deal with this inconvenience, aT (Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation) opened the Korean AgriFood Sales & Promotion Hall at the HDC Shilla Duty-Free Store in the Yongsan Hyundai i-Park Mall. Let us take a look at the new hall as well as other attractions and famous restaurants in Yongsan.

The location of the Korean Agri-food Sales & Promotion Hall is at Yongsan Station, the starting point of express trains (KTX) and a major transportation hub where subway lines 1 and 4 and the Gyeongui line intersect. Hence, it is easy for tourists to access. Yeo In-hong, CEO of aT, said, “This is the first time aT has set up a hall in a duty-free store to promote Korean agri-food. We plan to install more facilities in duty free stores at Incheon airport and in downtown Seoul as a way to create new export routes for Korean food products.”

Pear Cool, Crispy, and Sweet… Exported to 30 Countries

Pear, a typical Korean autumn fruit, is generally harvested from September. The peak of the harvesting season falls around Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving Day), so pear is often associated with the holiday. The merits of the Korean pear include its refreshing sweetness and crispness. The sugar content averages 12 to 14 Brix. Thanks to its sweetness, Korean pear is widely processed into extract, juice, and jam. The main production regions are Naju (South Jeolla Province), Cheonan (South Chungcheong Province), and Anseong (Gyeonggi Province).
