Samgyetang

amgyetang is the most loved S healthy food of Koreans. In a recent opinion poll, Samgyetang was chosen as the most preferred healthy food by 7 out of 10 office workers, receiving wide support. People eat a lot of cold food to beat the heat in summer, but digestive system and resistance weaken when the stomach feels cold. But warming the inside with hot food can help maintain health. Samgyetang is especially perfect for recovering fatigue in midsummer, as it is rich in protein, amino acids, and various ingredients such as ginseng, garlic, and jujube that supplement nutrition. Chicken, the main ingredient of Samgyetang, is digested and absorbed better than beef and contains plenty of unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, which helps prevent adult diseases such as arteriosclerosis and heart disease. Thus, Samgyetang is great for all age groups, such as growing children, test takers, the elderly, and even for patients.

Japanese writer Ryu Murakami praised Samgyetang in his novel as the best Korean dish, while famous Chinese film director Zhang Yimou called it Ginseng Chicken Soup and said he always eats it every time he visits Korea.

Chestnuts and pine nuts are added as standard, and even unpeeled wild abalone or octopus go into some Samgyetang.

Watermelon n hot, sweaty weather, a slice of watermelon I filled with moisture can quench thirst in one shot. In Korea, watermelons are in season from June to August and are great for replenishing moisture and quenching thirst in summer because it is made up of 91-95% moisture. It is rich in not only moisture but also fructose, glucose, various minerals, and vitamins A and C, which are easily absorbed into the body and recover the exhausted body and mind from the sweltering heat. The red flesh and peel of watermelon contain a lot of lycopene, which is effective for preventing various cancers such as prostate cancer. Lycopene becomes more abundant when stored at room temperature, so keep watermelon at room temperature and refrigerate it for a bit before eating.

ellow tomatoes and black tomatoesY they are a bit unfamiliar. Tomatoes with unusual colors don’t really draw our attention because of the perception that tomatoes should be red. Rather, tomatoes of various colors are richer in functional nutrients such as lycopene and anthocyanins, which can also increase added value. So, JYT Agro-Food CO., LTD., an agricultural corporation, put cherry tomatoes of red, green, yellow, orange, black, and white colors in one package. It is also called ‘Colored Cherry Tomatoes’. Tomatoes of various colors from natural sites are becoming popular in the Asian market including Hong Kong, and JYT Agro-Food plans to target the North American market with processed foods using colored cherry tomatoes.

Each of Six Colors with Different Flavors and Nutrients The core products of JYT Agro-Food are the basic red cherry tomatoes as well as the ‘Colored Cherry Tomatoes’ in 6 colors including green, yellow, orange, black, and white. JYT Agro-Food paid attention to colored cherry tomatoes because of their ‘taste’ and ‘nutrition’. When colored cherry tomatoes were first released in Korea, they had a high aesthetic value and were interesting but not familiar to people. Consumers would look curiously at the yellow tomatoes and naturally add red tomatoes to their shopping carts. As such, colored cherry tomatoes seemed to disappear from the market. However, Park In-ho, the CEO of JYT Agro-Food, did not give up on the colored cherry tomatoes until the end. It was because of their charm of having different flavors and nutrients for each color.

Black cherry tomatoes are sweet and sour and are rich in anthocyanins that are excellent for anti-aging, and white cherry tomatoes have flavonoid, which are immuno-enhancing ingredients. CEO Park In-ho of JYT Agro-Food said, “Since each color of colored cherry tomatoes contains various healthy ingredients and has different flavors, we judged that they have enough market ability if we can overcome the stereotype that tomatoes are red.”

Based on the stable demand in Korea, JYT Agro-Food turned its attention to overseas markets with a conviction that the quality of colored cherry tomatoes could be recognized abroad. The first export site for JYT Agro-Food is Hong Kong. Unlike its previous strategy of exporting colored cherry tomatoes as food ingredients, JYT Agro-Food targeted general consumption markets such as small and midsized marts. It was driven by JYT AgroFood’s desire to properly present fresh agricultural produce. The result was successful. Since its first export of USD 40,000, JYT Agro-Food has expanded its export market to Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Australia, achieving a total export of USD 340,000 last year. JYT Agro-Food is expanding its product line to processed foods using colored cherry tomatoes. It has developed naturally dried fruit chips and fruit tea bags to be consumed as beverages and teas by using the dried fruit chips. The products drew positive responses from buyers in North, Central America, and Europe at international food fairs. CEO Park In-ho emphasized, “We will actively target overseas markets such as the U.S. by using high-quality cherry tomatoes as raw ingredients and various products such as dried fruit chips and fruit tea bags, which are secondary processed products.”

The Power of Korean Tteokbokki is in Progress Korean instant tteokbokki is becoming a synonym for HMR food along the consumption trend due to COVID-19. According to the Korea Customs Service, exports of tteokbokki (including processed rice products and rice cakes) in 2020 amounted to USD 54 million, up 56.7% from the previous year. Exports from January to April this year reached USD 21 million as well, up 50.5% from the same period last year. The secret of this popularity is analyzed as the influence of the new consumption trend, or a higher demand for HMR food at home, such as tteokbokki, due to COVID-19. Accordingly, Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT) also held a K-Food HMR export consultation session from June 29 to 30. There was a high Interest in tteokbokki and rabokki (tteokbokki with Ramyeon Noodles) products in the form of cups or pouches during the consultations.

Global Trend _ Instant Tteokbokki

from a local U.S. supermarket said, “Americans tend to prefer tteokbokki which has both spicy and sweet tastes. The demand for cheeseflavored and dakgalbi (spicy stir-fried chicken) flavored tteokbokki is high recently. The variety of flavors will help attract more customers.”

美攻，各種味道的速食炒年桀大受歡迎 Popularity Various-Flavored Instant Tteokbokki in America Korean instant tteokbokki is easily found in local U.S. supermarkets and online malls. U.S.based Korean tteokbokki manufacturers emphasize the taste and convenience of the products, highlighting the ‘deliciously spicy’ of Korean gochujang, the sauce for tteokbokki, or the ‘harmony of spicy and sweet taste’ as the strengths. The ‘chewy texture’ and ‘fresh ingredients’ of rice cakes used to make tteokbokki are also rising as other feats of Korean instant tteokbokki. Since they are instant products, phrases such as ‘Easy to eat’ and ‘a simple 3minute cooking product’ can be found. It is noteworthy that products have been diversified into the flavors preferred by American as well. Cheese, chicken, and jjajang (black bean) flavors are released to suit the taste of Americans who do not like spicy food unlike Koreans. This has widened the range of instant tteokbokki choices for American consumers. Where do American consumers buy Korean tteokbokki?

Tteokbokki Establishes Itself with Convenience and Spicy Taste in China Among the HMR products sold in Chinese online malls, what is mentioned the most? The first place is definitely ramyeon, followed by tteokbokki. Korean instant tteokbokki is so popular in China because it is easy to eat with a strong spicy taste that Chinese prefer. One tteokbokki company, which is also famous in Korea for its spicy taste, has opened a branch in China and provides a delivery service. Its tteokbokki is very popular among people who can’t forget the taste of spicy tteokbokki in Korea. It was found that many consumers bought tteokbokki from online shopping malls in China as snacks or meals for children. If they don’t have enough time to cook, they add other ingredients to HMR-type instant tteokbokki to cook. ‘Friends’ and ‘colleagues’ were analyzed as the keywords of the main consumers of tteokbokki, who cook and eat instant tteokbokki at outdoor activities, parties, and events. In addition to the simple cooking, the convenience of Korean instant tteokbokki served as an advantage to purchase. Sung See-chan, Director of aT’s Shanghai branch, said, “The demand for instant tteokbokki is on the rise with the increased online consumption of instant food, such as home convenience food, due to the prolonging COVID-19. Cheese-flavored or cup-packaged Korean instant tteokbokki is especially the most purchased and consumed ones.”

Korea’s Kimchi

Convenience Added to Health Kimchi, the representative food of Korea. But now it has become a food loved by people all over the world. Not to mention the efficacies of kimchi, a fermented food, it has made available more choices for global consumers with a variety of products. Due to such effects, the growth rate of Korea’s kimchi exports is the highest ever. Let’s look into the reasons why Korea’s kimchi is loved by overseas consumers.

Kimchi, Leads Korea’s Exports of Agricultural Products Actual exports of Korea’s agricultural products are even more impressive amidst COVID-19 pandemic. At high risk from COVID-19, consumers have looked for healthier foods that can boost immunity. Korea’s agricultural products exports increased significantly in keeping with such needs of global consumers. Undeterred by global trade difficulties due to COVID-19, Korea’s agricultural products exports in 2020 reached a record high of USD 7.57 billion. At the center of it all is Korea’s kimchi. Exports of kimchi amounted to USD 144.5 million in 2020, up 37.6% from the previous year. That was the biggest growth rate among the Korea’s agricultural products for export during the same period. Such a growth rate continues this year. By the first half of this year, kimchi exports amounted to USD 86.8 million, up 20.1% from the same period last year.

The Key to the Popularity of Korea’s Kimchi

韓國のキムチの人氣の秘訣は？

The reason why Korea’s kimchi is loved by global consumers is because of the widespread awareness that kimchi is a healthy food. Kimchi is already recognized as the best health food by famous science magazines and daily newspapers abroad. In fact, <Health>, an American magazine focused on health, has selected kimchi as one of the world’s five healthiest foods. As a result, kimchi is living up to consumers’ expectations to find healthy food during COVID-19. Kimchi is known to vary in nutritional value depending on the raw materials or the degree of ripening. Hence, there are about 300 different types of kimchi in Korea. Any ingredient that can be salted, mixed with seasoning then fermented can become kimchi. Therefore, cabbage kimchi has been a representative of Korea’s kimchi, but now various types of kimchi have become popular overseas. Korea’s kimchi is excellent for immunity and has various types, satisfying consumers’ preferences. Also, the fact that kimchi goes well with various local foods increases its popularity.

Have You Seen This Kind of Kimchi?

Kimchi that was available overseas in the past used to be mostly in the form of a plastic pouch. And it was true that there was concern that the taste might change or that it could deteriorate due to the characteristics of fermented food. Recently, however, Korea’s kimchi has been eliminating such concerns through the changes in packaging methods. For example, canned kimchi and the seasoning products that revive the taste of kimchi are popular overseas. Canned kimchi has the advantage of being easily accessible at home or outdoors as it is easier to carry and store than the vinyl packaging. Kimchi seasoning products are also gaining popularity because they can be easily carried around like spice containers and sprinkled on various dishes. In fact, customer reviews of kimchi seasonings on Amazon stated, “I have sprinkled the product on french fries, hamburgers, pizza, and even on salad”, “This seasoning is like a new world.” Evaluations of canned kimchi are also generous. Buyers left reviews by saying, “Canned kimchi is good because it can be eaten quickly. It also has the advantage of being stored at room temperature. And I like it that it’s not spicy”, “Canned kimchi is sealed tight, so the liquid doesn’t leak out. I reordered it be-

cause I could put it on a shelf and have it whenever I wanted.”

Promoting Korean Green Tea to The World reen tea is one of the most popular teas in the G world. Korean green tea, which was not known in the world market just 10 years ago, is now proudly becoming world recognized. This is because it maintains the standardized quality that foreign buyers want. It was made possible thanks to NOUSBO CO., LTD., a leader in Korean green tea exports, at the center of such a result.

Korean Green Tea, Tapping into The Global Market Nousbo is a company that produces materials for organic farming and distributes them in Korea and exports them overseas. How did this company get to export green tea? Han Ku, Overseas Business Division General Manager, recalled, “Korean green tea is grown organically. So naturally, we got to supply our organic farming materials. And we started with the intention of raising our value added by promoting Korean green tea overseas.” However, more than a decade ago in 2010, Korean green tea was not recognized in the world. Although price was higher than other competitors, it did not have standardized quality. Instead, Korea’s organic certification was recognized in the United States and Europe as well, which allowed exports without a separate certification process. Thus, Nousbo embarked on mass production through quality standardization of Korean green tea. First, the export business group was established in Hadong county, Gyeongsangnam-do to start

Furthermore, quality was secured by selecting and exporting only products that were certified by foreign authorized organizations. Han Ku, General Manager, said, “In the early days of export, Korean green tea began with costeffective products with good quality and low price. Since then, we have built trust by maintaining the quality that foreign buyers want, and presently, we export to 24 countries.”

Expanding the Base of Korean Green Tea Nousbo’s green tea exports are carried out in bulk where green tea leaves, which are raw materials, are exported. In the beginning of export, some buyers even asked, “Do you have green tea in Korea?” But now Nousbo accounts for 60% of Korea’s green tea leaves exports. Amount of export is approximately USD 3.7 million as of 2020. Nousbo’s goal is to export about USD 5.2 million

this year. Significant growth has been achieved compared to more than a decade ago, when Korean green tea culture was not well known. The key to such a success lies in the philosophy of expanding the base of Korean green teas in the global market. Therefore, Nousbo emphasized the image of Korean green tea, and not its own brand. As a result, Korean green tea brands began to emerge in tea shops in Europe, and the number of such tea shops gradually increased. In the end, Nousbo’s persistent efforts to promote the names of Korean green teas since 2010 when it began exporting led to the expansion of the base of Korean green teas. Nousbo started a new business four years ago. It is challenging the Matcha market. Matcha is ground green tea leaves in powder form. This powder is mixed with water to make a drink or it can be used as a food ingredient, and sales volume is in creasing 7 to 9 percent worldwide every year. As Nousbo signed a supply contract with Starbucks corporate head office in the U.S. in 2018, it confirmed the possibility of entering the global market for Matcha. Han Ku, General Manager, said, “Unlike other competitors, Korean green tea has a unique taste. It took 10 years to make this unique taste competitive. Overseas buyers and consumers have just now begun to recognize this particular taste as a special quality unique to Korean green tea. We plan to target global markets with such points put forward as strengths.”

取得這些成功的秘訣之一，便是在世界市場上弘揚韓攻綠茶的哲縯?他們所突出的是韓攻綠茶形象，而非NOUSBO自己的品牌?所以，在斛洲的茶館(Tea Shop)開始出現韓攻綠茶品牌且在越來越多的茶館中能見到韓攻綠茶?從2010年開始，NOUSBO始終以韓攻綠茶的名稱捲外進行的出口，爲弘揚韓攻綠茶的本源帶來了積極的結果?

Pioneering New Markets with Premium Strawberries

+82-55-761-4564~5 www.kberry.kr

Ko Kwan-dal, President of K-BERRY

K-BERRY, an integrated strawberry export organization, is considered an instance of dramatically overcoming a crisis last year. There was great concern that strawberry exports would drop sharply when flights were suspended due to COVID-19, but instead, the actual exports increased through vessel export and exclusive aircraft flights. We met with Ko Kwan-dal, President of K-BERRY, to hear in detail about Korean strawberry exports.

30 Korea Agrafood

Please give us a brief introduction to K-BERRY. Founded in 2018, K-BERRY is a Korean integrated strawberry export organization, with 34 producer organizations and 40 exporters participating as of 2020. As four Nonghyups, which had been autonomously exporting Korean strawberries, participated as member companies of K-BERRY, orderly marketing has been further strengthened. As such, the expansion of member companies generated the effect of diversifying varieties of Korean export strawberries, previously centered on the existing Maehyang, to include Kuemsil and Sulhyang. Currently, KBERRY is in charge of 91% of total strawberry exports.

We plan to export premium strawberries that cost more than 10% higher price starting from the latter half of this year by increasing strawberry fruit size and by increasing sugar content. Currently, strawberry farms that grow various types of strawberries are getting consulting for cultivation of premium strawberries. In general, Korean exported strawberries, such as Maehyang, are considered small in size, but if you manage the entire cultivation process well from seedling management, it’s quite possible to produce large and sugar-rich Maehyang strawberries. We plan to improve the quality of strawberries for export overall by setting different prices depending on their size.

Exports are continuing to grow despite COVID-19. I’d like to know how that has been possible. Last year, vessel export and adopting exclusive aircraft helped a great deal. Especially, strawberry exports to Singapore increased by 21% compared to the previous year. I believe it’s thanks to the fact that the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT) cooperated with Korean Air to provide active support. Exports using vessel have also contributed to the expansion of strawberry exports. Air export is suitable due to the characteristics of strawberries with a short shelf life, but if only export volume is controlled properly, vessel export is quite possible in January and February when the weather is cold.

What projects are you focused on promoting this year?

Lastly, please tell us about your aspirations. Korea is the world’s seventh largest exporter of strawberries. We export strawberries to 26 countries around the world, and despite COVID-19, exports hit USD 53 million in 2020. Our export target for 2021 is USD 65 million, and we expect that it will be quite possible to achieve it considering the export performance of K-BERRY by the first half of the year. Starting with the Philippines in November, we will hold a large-scale promotional event to develop new markets such as Canada and make efforts to expand exports of premium strawberries.

The Most Popular Fruit in Summer

The season of sweet peaches has arrived. Peaches are a very attractive fruit for dieters because they are sweet and tasty, yet filling with little calories. There are 35Kcal in 100g of peaches, that is to say, the amount of calories in a peach is only one third of calories in a bowl of rice. Peaches are quite effective in relieving stress owing to amygdalin found in peaches. Amygdalin has the effect of stabilizing nerves, and aids in getting more deep sleep. Peaches can be used to make processed food products such as canned peaches, juice, and jam; and they are also used as the main ingredient in making yogurt. When cooking peaches, you can cut the peach, add a little salt, then bake for about 3 minutes. Grilled peaches allow you to intake all the good nutrients along with different flavors as in the case with pineapples and tomatoes.

Peaches grown in Korea have varieties that largely include nectarines, white peaches, and yellow peaches. White peaches are the most popular variety with high sugar content and soft texture. Yellow peaches are used for processing owing to their hard flesh, and unlike the other aforementioned varieties, nectarines have fuzz-less skin, and a harmonious blend of sweet and sour flavors. The main peach producing regions in Korea include Eumseong in Chungcheongbuk-do, Icheon in Gyeonggi-do, and Cheongdo in Gyeongsangbuk-do. Recently, peaches have become representative fruits of the summer season in Korea. According to a survey conducted by a large supermarket, peach sales this year are higher than watermelon sales as in the previous year. The keys to the popularity of peaches included their quality, the increase in one or two-person households, and that they are easy to eat alone in stay-at-home lifestyles incurred by COVID-19.

The biggest charm of yuja tea is its beautiful yellow color and sweet and sour taste. In addition, it is good for colds and skin care since it has three times more vitamin C than lemon. It is also known to be rich in organic acids which are good for anti-aging and fatigue recovery. Recently, it has also become popular in Southeast Asia, where yuja tea has relatively kept a low profile. This is due to a growing number of consumers who want healthy yet sweet tea while reducing caffeine intake. In Vietnam, it is increasingly perceived to be ‘Korean yuja tea’ and in Malaysia, recognition of yuja tea is broadening centered on small cafes. The same is the case with online shopping malls. On Shopee Vietnam, ‘DOORAEONE Citron Tea’ was listed among the ‘Favorite’ products, and it also received a high rating and got ‘Preferred’ on Shopee Malaysia.

The product reviews for yuja tea by Shopee consumers state, in short, “It’s healthy and tasty, and also pretty in design.” For the same reasons for its popularity in Southeast Asia, it is receiving favorable reviews mainly regarding health and taste. Such product reviews as “good for colds” stood out owing to the growing concerns about respiratory diseases caused by COVID-19. With the increasing popularity of Korean yuja tea, the teas made by combining various raw materials are also gaining popularity. Typical examples include GINSENG Honey Citron Tea, in which ginseng is added to yuja, and GINGER Honey Citron Tea, which is made with a combination of yuja and ginger. In addition, Jujube Tea was purchased by consumers as they were sold in pairs with yuja Tea.

Tourism

Yangyang is the ‘hottest’ tourist site in Korea nowadays. As more people, especially the young, enjoy surfing, Yangyang has drawn attention with its clean and high waves, even called ‘Mecca of Surfing’ which is enough to demonstrate its recent popularity. The most visited places by tourists are Naksan Beach and Hajodae Beach. If you walk around here, you can easily see people surfing in the sea and about 40 surfer shops in total. Many pubs are lined up along the beach for people to quench their thirst from surfing, making Yangyang a great place to enjoy drinking and leisure at the same time. However, you are mistaken if you think the sea is the Yangyang’s only tourist attraction. Seoraksan National Park, a treasure trove of ecosystems, is also a must-see resort in Yangyang. It is home to the whopping 939 plant, 25 mammal, 90 bird, 11 reptile, 9 amphibian, and 360 insect species. You can see anthropological heritage as well; the oldest Neolithic ruins in Korea when you go to Osan-ri, and a stone pagoda built more than 1,000 years ago when you visit Dunjeon-ri.

The major dishes of Yangyang are Seopguk (Mussel Soup), Ttugeoritang (Spicy Floating Goby Stew), and Songibeoseotjeongol (Pine Mushroom Hot Pot). These foods are considered as must-try specialties in Yangyang. Seopguk is recommended to try in particular, since it is not easily available in other regions. Made by boiling wild mussels with soybean paste and chives, it is so rich in nutrients that it is even called Yangyang’s ‘best health food’. Ttugeoritang is another dish that can only be experienced in Yangyang. At first glance, it looks like Chueotang (Loach Soup) or eojuk (Fish porridge). But it is known as a special food that reflects the sorrows of life in Yangyang. Ttugeoritang is made by boiling freshwater fish living on the bottom of first-grade clean water in a spicy and hot broth, and by filtering fish bones in a sieve. Thanks to this, it is also a popular hangover dish to calm the stomach the next day after a drink night. Songibeoseotjeongol is also a special dish in Yangyang. Its unique feat is a deep flavor infused by boiling pine mushrooms, a specialty of Yangyang, as the main ingredient with thinly sliced-and seasoned beef and clams together. The deep flavor of pine mushrooms blends well together, so you can feel your body getting healthier even before you eat it.

In Korea, Yangyang-harvested pine mushrooms and salmon harvested are famous. Yangyang’s pine mushrooms are especially known for excellent chewiness and scent among all pine mushrooms, with a low moisture and firm flesh as 100% natural mushrooms. Also, the pine mushrooms intake nutrients only from the roots of 20-to-60-year-old pine trees, that they have a unique, heavy scent similar to rosin. The 1st grade pine mushrooms must beat least 8cm long, have no top part spreading out, and have the stem in uniform thickness. Yangyang’s top-grade pine mushrooms are considered the best among agricultural products, with prices soaring to as high as KRW 100,000. The Namdaecheon Brook located in Yangyang is a major salmon return stream in Korea. More than 70% of salmon returning to Korea are born and die here. As a result, the Salmon Festival has become a representative local festival in Yangyang, where people can enjoy salmon dishes and rich activities and programs. At the Yangyang 5-day Market, you can easily buy both pine mushrooms and salmon.
