Fifty Years of History, from 1967 to 2017

The corporation made a leap into the 21st century with the construction of the aT Center in Yangjaedong, Seoul.

The agency changed its name to aT, or Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corp.

aT has built its new home in Naju Innovation City of South Jeolla Province, which now operates as the headquarters of aT.

2017 On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, aT has disclosed its grand vision for the development of Korean food industry.

Major Role in the Renaissance of the Korean Food Industry Anniversary

1995 1986 1967 aT was founded in 1967 as the Agriculture and Fishery Development Corporation (AFDC).

As its functions expanded to the coordination of demand and supply of agricultural and fish products and the stabilization of prices, the agency was reorganized into the Agricultural and Fishery Marketing Corporation.

When WTO was founded, aT concentrated its efforts on nurturing Korean agriculture for export.

Half a century has passed since the establishment of aT (Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation). The agency has played a key role in the renaissance of the Korean food industry by prognosticating and preparing for changes and relentlessly seeking to be innovative. To mark the 50th anniversary of aT, Korea Agrafood looks at the agency’s path from its beginning until today and introduces its vision for the future.

’s Footprint in the Past aT was founded on December 1, 1967 as the Agriculture and Fishery Development Corporation (AFDC) with the aim of stabilizing the demand and supply of agricultural and fish products, improving the distribution system, and increasing farmers’ income. Its first office was located in the Jongno area of Seoul. AFDC put much effort into reviving the Korean farm food industry. As its functions expanded to the coordination of demand and supply of agricultural and fish products and the stabilization of prices, the agency was reorganized into the Agricultural and Fishery Marketing Corporation in 1986. When market liberalization accelerated and WTO (the World Trade Organization) was founded in 1995, aT concentrated its efforts on nurturing Korean agriculture for export. As part of these efforts, it established Korean Trade & Distribution Centers (KTDC) in the Netherlands, New York, Singapore, and other places to act as hubs for entering regional markets. The corporation made a leap into the 21st century with the construction of the aT Center in Yangjae-dong, Seoul. Unveiled on October 15, 2002, the aT Center is a modern convention center housing exhibition and conference

halls. The aT Center has been facilitating the pioneering of overseas markets by carrying out export consultations, promotions of promising products, and other projects. In January 2012, the agency announced its new name, aT, or Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corp., and the concept of a public corporation specialized in fostering a global farm food and seafood industry. aT has been actively nurturing strategic export products, promoting the globalization of Korean food culture, and assisting the advance of Korean companies to the global market, while expanding its network to 14 overseas offices in Tokyo, New York, Paris, Abu Dhabi, and other global locations. In accordance with the Korean government’s policy of reducing the concentration of public organizations in Seoul by relocating them to other areas, aT built its new nest in Naju Innovation City of South Jeolla Province. The operation of the new headquarters started on October 7, 2014. aT is able to focus closer on the acquisition of a competitive edge for farm and seafood products. It is also able to hire more talented individuals from local communities, thereby contributing to the development of the regional economy.

’s Vision for the Future

aT organizes the K-Food Fair to introduce promising products to foreign buyers and offer Korean food exporters a more effective means for entering overseas markets. The picture is from the 2013 K-Food Fair in New York.

Since its foundation in 1967, aT has striven to respond to rapid changes in the local and international business environment. Reaching its 50th anniversary, aT has disclosed its grand vision for the development of Korean agriculture and fisheries in the next 100 years. Its primary mission is to establish a sustainable food industry for the country. More specifically, the agency aims to boost exports by identifying overseas demand for Korean food products, create a stable demand and supply system focusing on domestic produce, increase the efficiency in the distribution of agricultural products, and increase the use of domestic ingredients. aT

plans to increase exports further by diversifying the markets, discovering and nurturing promising products, supporting the export of products using domestic ingredients, eliminating non-tariff barriers, and assisting in the marketing of Korean products overseas. To stabilize supply and demand, aT will create a platform containing comprehensive information on distribution and coordinate supply and demand by purchasing domestic produce. It plans to increase the efficiency of the distribution system by encouraging the organization of producer groups, upgrading the wholesale market, nurturing the flower industry, and fostering distribution professionals. Bolstering the direct trade of domestic food ingredients, nurturing traditional food products, and providing their sales channels will further help to cultivate Korean food industry. Baek Jin-seok, the Director of Food Export in aT, said, “Although food comprises only a small portion of Korea’s exports, the food export business exercises considerable influence in boosting the domestic market and creating jobs.” He added emphatically, “aT will increase its support for food exports and continue its search of overseas demand for Korean products.”

aT strives to raise the awareness of Korean agriproducts in emerging markets through various events including consumer experience events and promotional activities at large retailers.

Capitalizing on the growing interest in Korean food in Southeast Asia, aT hosted a series of promotions. A kimchi experience event was held in Myanmar (up) and a strawberry promotion in Thailand.

Special Interview aT has played an important role in boosting the export of agricultural products. What achievements in this regard is aT most proud of?

Yeo In-hong, who has been the CEO of aT (Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corp.) since the October of last year, is a renowned expert in distribution and export of farm and sea products. He has spent over 30 years in public service, developing plans to strengthen government support for export and devising policies to improve distribution structure. On aT’s 50th anniversary, Korea Agrafood met Yeo to hear how he feels about the occasion, what he is proud of, and what the agency’s plans for the future are.

Our export projects went in full steam from the 1990s, as part of the country’s strategy to liberalize the market in the wake of the establishment of the WTO (World Trade Organization). They operate at all stages of the export business, from production to pioneering the foreign markets, and include the support for product development and nurturing promising items. As a result, Korean agricultural food exports have more than doubled over the last ten years such as strawberry, mushroom, and grape are now exported on a large scale. The export of seaweed is expected to reach its first US$500 million mark this year. Meanwhile, we have been able to diversify the export market to ASEAN, China, and other regions.

are trying to cultivate another strategic market in Southeast Asia, a region where the Korean Wave is in full swing.

The first results of aT’s efforts to extend exports to emerging markets, such as India, Brazil, South Africa, Kazakhstan, and Italy, are already palpable. What plans to do you have to boost exports to those countries?

Our export market diversification project this year included developing a stable exporting system and pioneering five emerging markets starting from May. As a result, we have gained a foothold in those markets, made first shipments, and helped the exporters resolve different issues that arose in the process. Next year, we plan to diversify the products exported to those countries and expand the number of export destinations to twenty emerging markets.

It is very important for farmers to see the exports correlate with the increase in their incomes. Can you tell us about your plans for achieving an in-

Farm food exports bring the dual benefit of stabilizing the domestic price and contributing to farmers’ incomes. aT will upgrade its export support system starting from 2018. First of all, we will increase our support for companies that export either fresh farm products or processed food made with homegrown ingredients. We will also streamline export channels by the food item and create an integrated support platform.

aT will do its best to continue contributing to the development of Korean agriculture and fisheries and the growth of farmers’ incomes. Our main tasks include stabilizing farmers’ incomes and supply and demand by purchasing farm produce, upgrading the distribution structure, and boosting export-oriented farming.

Japan, China, and the US are Korea’s major export markets. What plans does aT have to increase exports to these countries?

We pursue a different strategy based on the characteristics of each of these important markets. For the Japanese market for example, we look for and export functional food and other new products. In China, we focus on online marketing through social media. In the US, our target is the local market for ethnic foods. As part of our efforts to diversify export markets, we

ongratulations on the 50th anniversary! I import Korean pears and persimmons, and they are receiving favorable reviews from Thai consumers. One reason they are so popular here is aT’s support. My company has been cooperating with aT in organizing promotional events for Korean fruit. We are doing our best to introduce various Korean food products in Thailand and hope aT will continue to help us in generating greater interest among the young Thai.

sincerely congratulate aT on its 50th anniversary. aT has spared no effort to raise awareness of Korean products around the world. It is thanks to its promotional events, marketing research, and search for potential buyers that Korean food products are actively exported and have earned a good reputation among overseas consumers. I wish aT continued success in pioneering foreign markets.

hen starting an exporting business, it is natural to have difficulties in finding the market or implementing marketing. aT has been of enormous help to our company in finding potential buyers and promoting our products through Korea Agrafood. Thanks to aT’s support, our strawberries are actively exported to Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and other markets. My congratulations on the 50th birthday! I hope that aT grows into a public enterprise representing Korea overseas.

aT is engaged in various projects aiming to promote exports of Korean food products. They include the export market diversification project, localization support project, Miracle K-Food project, and the provision of export information. Below, Korea Agrafood introduces our readers to these projects.

輸出市場の多樣化へ努力

Efforts to Diversify Export Markets orean farm food exports focus heavily on Japan, China, and the US. As of 2016, the three countries take up over 50% of Korean exports of agricultural and fishery products (Japan 22.06%, China 17.15%, and the US 11.14%). This means that

any disruption of exports to these three countries due to political, economic, disease-related, or other issues inadvertently puts Korean farmers and exporting companies in danger. For this reason, aT is collaborating with MAFRA (the Korean Ministry

of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs) with the aim of diversifying Korea’s export markets. The agency has dispatched members of AFLO (Agri-food Frontier Leader Organization) to thirteen countries including India, Brazil, South Africa, Kazakhstan, and Italy and is conducting various promotional activities there. AFLO, which started its work in the first half of this year, is already bringing about positive outcomes. Presentation of the first team’s performance report took place on August 28 and described the following achievements.

Raising Awareness of Korean Food among Foreign Consumers aT actively participates in fairs and exhibitions for the purpose of exploring overseas sales routes for Korean exporters and bringing international publicity to Korean food products. Particularly important is the K-Food Fair organized by aT. This year, the agency hosted the K-Food Fair in Tokyo in July, in New York and Shanghai in September, in Dubai in October, and in Jakarta in November. At each of them, aT arranged business consultations between Korean exporters and local buyers, distributors, and vendors. A total of 188 Korean exporters participated in the fair and achieved considerable success. In Japan, consulta-

tions between 48 Korean exporters and about 280 Japanese distributors, buyers, and vendors yielded contracts worth US$3 million. In cooperation with Korean exporters, aT organized Korean food exhibitions at major food fairs held in targeted markets, such as Foodex Japan and SIAL China. A vegetarian food show promoting Korean vegetarian products and organized by aT at Suntec City Mall in Singapore drew significant attention from local consumers. Similar events designed to introduce Korean food products were hosted in emerging markets of Brazil, India, Malaysia, and Myanmar.

Assisting in the Development of New Products for Export aT is carrying out the Miracle KFood project in partnership with MAFRA. The project aims to discover new products that can have a competitive edge in the global market. Currently, it focuses on fifteen items: Dangjo pepper, Shine Muscat grape, fermented brown rice, ginseng chips, processed sweet potato, dried fruit, peeled ginkgo nuts, freeze-dried baby food, rice puffs, frozen thistle, black raspberry juice, ginseng sprouts, barley, dew shiitake mushrooms, and citron beverage concentrate. Dangjo pepper has already made a successful landing in the Japanese market. Earlier this year, aT partnered with Kyushu University in Japan to test the functionality of the pepper with respect to diabetes. The results confirmed the efficacy of Dangjo pepper and it is now available in all 210 stores of UNY, Japan’s third largest distributor. Selected in response to overseas consumers’ preference for seedless grapes that can be eaten without peeling, Shine Muscat grape is gradually gaining attention in China and Southeast Asia.

A seminar on the ASEAN market was hosted by aT in October.

Providing Information to Exporters aT offers to Korean companies the information on export markets. In June, aT held a presentation of export information project results for the first half of 2017. It included data on food export trends, requirements to advance to emerging markets, and changes in regulations on customs clearance, quarantine, and hygiene in major export destinations and suggested the coping strategies. In April, aT published the 2016 Report on Food Trade Barriers, which is a guidebook to understanding the trade barriers in different countries and de-

vising strategies to increase exports. In October, aT introduced its Guide to Prevention of Breaching the Chinese Trademarks and the Guide to Preventing Damages by Chinese Food Paparazzi. aT has also held a briefing session on issues in the ASEAN food market in 2017. In addition, aT operates a trade information site, www.kati.net, which offers information on overseas consumption trends to Korean exporters, promotes Korean products to foreign buyers, and assists in conducting internet or mobile transactions.

Through its 14 overseas offices, aT is pursuing MOUs (memorandum of understanding) with major international distributors and carrying out publicity and sales promotion campaigns for Korean food products. Every year, the agency organizes consultations between Korean exporters and the foreign buyers it invites to Buy Korean Food and other events. Furthermore, aT participates on average in sixty international food fairs each year, setting up exhibitions there to promote Korean products. To stabilize the supply of Korean agricultural produce of uniform quality to foreign markets, aT is fostering export organizations that manage every step of the business from production to export of food (similarly to Zespri in New Zealand). In 2017, aT has been working with fourteen organizations engaged in strawberry, grape, and other businesses. There are also export associations which are formed by exporters to cooperate with each other. As of 2017, there are seventeen export associations in Korea, and aT helps them in the management of food safety and quality as well as joint marketing activities.

Helping the Settlement of K-Food Products in Local Markets

Thanks to a localization support project of aT, a Korean rice snack succeeded in acquiring the US gluten-free certification and is receiving positive reviews from American consumers.

When advancing to foreign markets, every company without sufficient information on the targeted market experiences difficulties in registering the trademark, creating and registering labels, overcoming non-tariff barriers, and other issues. aT helps such companies through a variety of localization support projects. This year, aT focused on the elimination of non-tariff barriers, the registration of trademarks, and the localization of labels. Korean exporters have received consultations on legal procedures, customs, and tariffs in destination countries, and the costs of the consultations were covered by aT. In addition, the agency supports up to 90% (up to KRW 10 million a year per company) of the costs of designing product labels, translating them into foreign languages, and registering the labels. The costs involved in registering trademarks overseas are also covered up to 90% (up to

KRW 10 million a year per company). This support is often crucial for the success of Korean food companies. For instance, Baksan, an alcoholic beverage supplier, was able to export its products to Thailand thanks to an aT localization support project. The company’s CEO, Huh Geukil, said, “It costs a minimum of KRW 2 million to have an alcoholic beverage enter a Thai supermarket, so it can be a burden to a small business.” Baksan received financial support through the Specialized Buyer Project and succeeded in advancing into a famous hypermarket in Thailand. Another example is Korean rice snacks in the US. aT’s office in New York has helped rice snacks producers to improve packaging, create promotional materials, and find business partners in the local market. Also, considering that the US has the world’s largest gluten-free food market, aT also paid the costs of the chemical composition analysis necessary to obtain the gluten-free certification and helped in the promotion of gluten-free snacks. As a result, a Korean rice snack not only succeeded in acquiring the gluten-free certification, but also entered stores of America’s largest retailer, Walmart. CEO of Mammoth Bakery that makes the gluten-free rice snack, Shin Seongbeom said, “Thanks to a localization support project, we were able to obtain a large sales channel and the image of our product was enhanced.” Korean exporters obtain detailed information on aT’s localization support project through aT’s website (www.at.or.kr) and aT’s Exporter Total Support System (global.at.or.kr). They can also seek advice through aT’s Trade Support Department (+82-61-931-0865). Importers’ inquiries are addressed by the respective aT offices abroad.

Koreans believe that bokbunja (Korean black raspberry) strengthens the bodily energy. In fact, it abounds with vitamins A and C and various minerals and thereby effective in fighting off fatigue, slowing aging, and reducing weight. However, the berry is little known outside of Korea, so it is not easy for it to enter foreign markets. Thanks to aT’s support to black raspberry exporters to Indonesia through a localization support project, the market is beginning to open. When farm produce is exported to Indonesia, it must first be registered

with Indonesia’s import food registration service ML. The process is highly complicated and considered a non-tariff barrier. That is why Food Star Global, an importer of Korean food into Indonesia, sought aT’s help through the Overseas Certification System Registration Support Project. Thanks to aT, the registration of Korean raspberry with ML was completed in December 2016 and US$ 30 thousand worth of black raspberry juice was shipped to Indonesia in January this year. Nam Taek-hong, a manager of aT’s office in Jakarta, said, “Last

With help of a professor in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Indonesia, a national school, aT contributed articles explaining the effects of raspberry juice in major local newspapers. The agency also recruited power bloggers to promote the juice on social media such as Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. Several tasting events were organized at upscale fitness centers. The product appeared on a TV show featuring Indonesian celebrities. Sales promotions were held at large distributors, and guests of an event at the Korean embassy in Indonesia received the raspberries as a gift. The target of black raspberry export to Indonesia this year is US$ 100 thousand. aT expects that the export will increase further after promotions at popular local bars. Nam said, “Raspberry juice is a stranger to Indonesians, but we will do our best to increase its exports through various promotional events.”

Fresh Food Sweet Persimmon

Suncheon Sweet Persimmon Appeals to the Tastes of Overseas Consumers with Its Sweetness and Crispiness

orean sweet persimmons are gaining recognition abroad for their sweetness, crispiness, and thorough quality control. Despite their relatively short history in overseas markets, they are able to compete with sweet persimmons from more established exporters: China, Israel, and New Zealand. Korean persimmons are exported to about 20 countries including Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore. They are cultivated mainly in Changwon and Jinju of South Gyeongsang Province and Suncheon of South Jeolla Province. Suncheon sweet persimmons are renowned in Korea for their superior quality which stems from the propitious cultivation conditions―a large daily temperature range and ample amount of sunshine in addition to eco-friendly growing techniques. Suncheon started exporting sweet persimmons in the late 2000s and its products receive favorable reviews from foreign consumers who appreciate their quality and taste.

K

Suncheon Farmers Pioneer Overseas Markets Sweet persimmons have been cultivated in Suncheon since the early twentieth century. Currently, there are about 950 farms (a total of 330 ha of farmland) producing 4,200 tons of sweet persimmons. A variety called “Buyu” accounts for 80% of the harvest. It is characterized by succulence, crispiness, and―thanks to the large daily temperature range―a very high sugar content. At 15 to 16 Brix, it is sweeter than apple, pear, or peach. Suncheon persimmons are generally harvested between late October and November and exported soon thereafter. The exports rapidly increased with the establishment of SPEF (Suncheon Sweet Persimmon Export Farmers Association), an association of Suncheon farmers exporting sweet persimmons, in 2013. The enterprise was started by Hwang Tae-gu, the current president of SPEF, who

has over 30 years of experience in sweet persimmon cultivation. In four years, the membership of the association has increased 3.5 times, from ten farms to thirty-five. Hwang said, “SPEF was established for the purpose of exporting high-quality Suncheon sweet persimmons to foreign countries through the joint effort of farmers enthusiastic about exports. At present, the export volume is not high, but we expect it to rise as we standardize the quality of the fruit and secure a stable supply for export.”

Members Agree to Export Over 25% of the Harvest to Ensure Stable Supply SPEF exported about 150 tons of sweet persimmons last year. Most of the fruit were shipped to Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and other Southeast Asian countries, and smaller amounts were exported to Taiwan, Canada, and the US. According to Hwang, each member of SPEF should export more than 25% of the harvest regardless of how plentiful the crop is that year. This enables the association to calculate the export volume in advance and ensure stable supply of Suncheon sweet persimmons to overseas markets. He added, “Stable supply is our strong point.” Sweet persimmons for export are classified by size, from small (3S) to large (L), because different sizes appeal to different types of consumers.

persimmons are popular in open markets among consumers in the low and medium income brackets, whereas higher-income consumers usually purchase larger persimmons in high-end supermarkets and department stores. Hwang said, “We share essential information, such as fruit consumption trends and prices in importing countries, among member farmers before exporting the fruit. We even visit the countries to conduct market surveys and make other efforts to improve the competitiveness of Suncheon sweet persimmons.”

Thorough Quality Control of Sweet Persimmons for Export While SPEF focuses on the production and stable supply of sweet persimmons, SCUJ (Suncheon Combination Union Joint Enterprise Co., Ltd.) is responsible for quality control and distribution of the fruit. The organization provides exporting farmers with quality control manuals and offers various kinds of support in quality management. It also encourages the farmers to apply eco-friendly cultivation methods, control agrochemical residues, and obtain the GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) certification. Above all, its biggest strength is in APC (Agricultural Products Processing Center) whose automated sorting line can sort sweet persimmons based on the sugar content, weight, and color. The Center also houses a low-temperature storage which can keep fresh up to 3,000 tons of the fruit for a long period of time. In short, APC has made an important contribution to raising the competitive edge of Suncheon sweet persimmons.

An Ambition to Make Suncheon Sweet Persimmon a Representative Korean Fruit in Foreign Markets

Sweet persimmons are thoroughly sorted based on the sugar content, weight, and color.

Exports of sweet persimmons from Suncheon are expected to grow in the future. SPEF hopes to expand the number of participating farms to 50 and export over 200 tons of sweet persimmons per year. It also plans to promote other types of crispy and sweet Korean persimmons in addition to Buyu. Hwang emphasizes, “We will put even more effort into quality control so that the Suncheon sweet persimmon represents the best of the Korean fruit abroad.”

The export amount has increased from US$143,000 in 2015 to an estimated US$233,500 this year.

Raising the Export Competitiveness with High-Yield Farming Technology Shimeji mushroom is a perfect variety for export thanks to its ability to remain fresh for two months at 1℃. However, one drawback is that cultivation takes twice as long as for ordinary king oyster mushroom. To make up

He has succeeded in raising the yield from 150g to 180g per bottle of culture medium. In Korea, shimeji mushrooms are not very common in supermarkets as only three farms in the country are engaged in their cultivation and most of the produce is exported overseas. In fact, shimeji mushrooms have won the hearts of many foreign consumers with their ability to stay firm in the cooking process. Besides, they are known to promote the discharge of cholesterol, contain plenty of minerals, and even help to fight tumors. They enjoy popularity in over twenty countries including Australia, the US, Canada, Taiwan, and countries of Southeast Asia.

Increasing Exports by Improving the Variety According to Park, the farm has completed its work on improving the variety of shimeji mushrooms designed to further enhance their flavor. Exports of the new variety will start early next year. He says, “We have reinforced the merits of shimeji mushrooms, and we expect our export volume to increase two-fold if not more.” The worldwide trend for healthy living styles has also contributed to its rising sales. With more orders coming from other countries, Ever Green Mushroom Farm is expanding its production facilities to meet the rising demand. At the same time, the company is upgrading its product packaging. It now offers individually packed shimeji mushrooms to ensure that overseas customers can enjoy the product easily and conveniently over an extended period of time. Ever Green Mushroom Farm plans to continue its research of consumer preferences in foreign markets through regular meetings with buyers and will do its best to address their demands in the shortest possible time.

He continues, “When I started growing barley in 2005, colored food was in full swing, and the Rural Development Administration created barley varieties which came in different colors. I thought that Korean barley would have a competitive edge because no other country offers colorful barley.” Kim founded Chungmec Co., Ltd. and with the government support, he developed the technology to make black barley products and barley cookies with high levels of dietary fiber as well as low-calorie functional food products with colored barley and low-calorie barley porridge with high levels of dietary fiber.

Purple barley contains a lot of beta-glucan, which is said to be effective in preventing diabetes and colon cancer. Unlike other varieties, it also boasts about 65㎍ of anthocyanin per gram. With its intact germinal disc, green barley is highly nutritious. Containing vitamins B1, B2, and B3, iron and calcium, it keeps the stomach warm and promotes diuretic action. Yellow barley contains 14.6% more dietary fiber than ordinary barley. In addition, Chungmec offers several processed products including Dangjuk and K-Coffee. Dangjuk was designed as a nutritious meal with a homely flavor. Made with black barley, oat, brown rice, and tree ear, it is a porridge product you can cook by simply adding warm water. K-Coffee is a favorite of coffee lovers. With it, they can kill two birds with one stone: consume the dietary fiber of barley while drinking coffee. It is especially good for people who have trouble sleeping if they have coffee.

Targeting the Global Market with Diverse Products Chungmec is pioneering the Chinese, American, and other overseas markets. It listens carefully to the feedback it receives from overseas consumers. For example, Chungmec exported US$60,000 worth of barley to the US last year and is now working on issues that arose during the transportation stage. Kim said, “Our goal in the US is to enter Costco stores. Our colorful barley is a truly unique product with no rivals. If it enters Costco, it will sell at least 2,000 tons every year.” Chungmec is knocking on the door of the Chinese market with its K-Coffee and Dangjuk. In Kim’s opinion, the coffee drinking culture is burgeoning in China. He says, “I participated in FHC China for three years in a row to promote K-Coffee.” While introducing Dangjuk, Kim emphasizes, “The effectiveness of this product against diabetes has been proven through animal testing.” He adds, “There is considerable interest in Chungmec in China, and we will do our best to raise awareness about advantages of our products among Chinese consumers.”
