In particular, it has rolled out a product made by mixing high-quality yuja with other sub-ingredients to meet the tastes of overseas consumers. This newly released product is now gaining popularity.

Consumer preference-based product development

Korea Natural Food is always conscious of a change in consumer preferences. It is because the company thinks failing to fathom what consumers want makes them fall behind. As part of its effort, the company regularly conducts a consumer survey of the Chinese market, one of its major markets that tends to follow what is trendy in Korea. The company was finally able to concoct a new product, a mixture of yuja, lemon, and ginger, as the fruit of this effort. It made the product by mixing yuja with other ingredients to meet the current Chinese trend of blending various ingredients. The company is now focusing on the non-contact promotion as

the face-to-face transaction is unavailable now due to the COVID-19. In fact, the company organized non-contact sales events with Austin, a famous Chinese influencer. The events were quite successful especially in terms of both brand awareness and purchase rate.

According to Lee Dong-hee, CEO of Korea Natural Food, 230,000 bottles of yuja tea products were sold out through three times of influencer-based promotional events.

Increasing competitiveness in overseas markets by branding

Korea Natural Food started exporting its products abroad in earnest in 2015. Although the company exported its yuja tea products abroad before, the previous export was not that great. The company considered that this insignificant export is due to limited marketing, and it worked harder to make its products brand ones to strengthen its competitiveness in the global market.

After applying for a trademark for Dooraeone, the company has been building up its brand awareness while doing business with

global distribution chains such as Aeon in Japan, Starbucks in China, and Costco in Taiwan. In addition to this, the company only uses yuja that are grown by the sea against the sea breeze in some famous yuja cultivating regions such as Namhae on the south coast of Korea and Goheung in Jeollanam-do, and are sorted out very carefully.

Also, the company works hard to increase the reliability of its products. It obtained many certificates including ISO22000, FSSC22000, and the organic food certificate to gain recognition from consumers with the quality. Recently, it also obtained a Kosher food certificate which is a religious certificate and classified as one of the hardest ones to achieve.

Growing export by pioneering new markets and inland areas of China

Korea Natural Food is planning to find more markets to expand its export. As part of its plan, it will expand the channels for exporting its products to China which is currently a major market to the company based on the consideration that the company has great potential to grow further in the large market. The company previously sold its products mainly to some major cities including Beijing, Shanghai, and Tianjin. It is thus planning to advance into relatively minor inland cities including Urumqi. According to the company, it is highly likely to be successful in China because, once there is consumption, it would increase exponentially afterward, and local consumers like sweet foods.

In addition to China, the company is also eyeing Indonesia with a great population and Vietnam with relatively great economic power in Southeast Asia.

Lee said, “ We will develop other products including powder or aroma products to increase the added values of high-quality Korean yuja.”
